My first "chef"

JANUARY 2012

On my birthday, January 15th, 2012, I started to take care of new lives. Yes, the lives of yeasts! The more they grow, the more they'd keep me 'live' and happy.

Below is a photo of my first "chef" ( yeast 'starter')- bubbling and kicking. It's alive! It gave the impetus to my sourdough bread making adventure and to widening my circle of friends who love eating bread as well!
