Hey babes, I love you. But, I don’t love this stress I’m having. Why am I stressed? Well, because I don’t know what I’m doing. Sure, I know the different parts.

So, I have a sourdough starter. I’m not sure if it’s a boy or a girl, and I’ve struggled to come up with a good name for it, but sometimes I go for “Harriet.” Anyway, Harriet is a lovely little lass. She’s very generous, active, and loving. She always wants to participate, and never shies [...]
