Meet Willard

New acquisition for Len's baking adventures: a starter ordered from King Arthur flour.
Len named it Willard, in honor of his maximum hero J. Willard Gibbs *
After a day of feeding the starter according to the instructions, Len
has now begun the dough for the first Willard-started loaves of bread.
We'll know more about Willard tomorrow.
* About J. Willard Gibbs (1839-1903): Albert Einstein called him "the greatest mind in American history."

    I've seen the starters in their catalog, etc. so am curious about your take on it.

    Fun! I kept sourdough for several years from a friend who got it from a woman who once baked a loaf every day because her family of eight kids ate a loaf every day!

    Tell, tell! Rick doesn't do much with sourdough. Pretty cool!
