Yes they are and mine has just taken hold here
I hope you are better soon!
I got the sourdough start maile off to Jared today.
I will not be long and sourdough starter will be going in Idaho!

Hello everyone! How is everyone doing? I found out something that I want to share with you all about baking.
So what I'm about to say is mathematical stuff, but, in reality, it has everything to do with baking bread.
Remember when I said that the yeast exploded? Well It got me thinking about how the yeast grew so fast. I did an experiment, and I followed that recipe again. I basically repeated the explosion. This time, I was charting the yeast growth. To my surprise, as long as the yeast had food, which it did, the yeast was growing at an exponential rate
Here is my data.
Start steps of yeast in the bowl was 1 3/8 inches.
After 8 minutes, it grew 1/8 of an inch.
After 3 minutes, it grew 1/8 of an inch.
After 3 minutes, it grew 1/8 of an inch.
After 2 minutes, it grew 1/8 of an inch.
It started growing faster. After putting it on graph paper, and analyzing the curve of the exponential growth, I realized that the curve was the same curve for the mathematical constant e, which is used to calculate exponential growth.
In a nutshell, the mathematical constant e has a lot to do with baking bread!

Interesting analogy Jared most anything real can be explained by

Pizza tonight. It is delicious.
On a side note, I found a fossil today.
