- "Last fall, a friend gave some starter to Etta Taylor of St. Louis.
- 'I was really beginning to feel disenchanted with its reproductive necessities when I got a copy of "The Baking Sheet" from King Arthur Flour (in Vermont),' she wrote.
- 'This gave me the courage just to keep a container of this starter in the fridge (alongside my 20-year-old regular sourdough pot!)
- and feed it with some sugar about every two weeks.
- Before I get ready to make some more bread, I double the starter and use about 2-1/2 c. of it for the bread recipe and return the rest to the fridge.
- Now I feel like*I* am in control.'
