Will do. Oh, the starter actually fluffed up and kind of "climbed the walls" of the jar this last time I fed it (per your directions )

That is great news!

What kind of roses are those? They're so pretty. We also have clove scented roses (Ebb Tide roses), that look similar to yours. They smell heavenly!

So I FINALLY got some more flour - going to start my sourdough today. So prepare for lots of dumb questions - lol! First dumb question - do I leave it on the counter top? When I had starter years ago, seems like it was kept at room temp, but can't fully remember. It's not refrigerated, is it?

Midnight Blue. It's thornless. I just purchased it this year and love it. The color is off in my pic. It's actually a darker more purple color, like Ebb Tide.

I put it in a large pot to bring in the house over the winter. It will stay in a sectioned off portion that will not be heated, and still will be above freezing. It's hardy to zone 6 and we live on the border of zone 5-6, and I want it to thrive, not just survive. So far it's doing very well in the large pot.

For roses I recommend High Country Roses, Edmund Roses and Heirloom Roses.

great as Gurneys said they can't ship till they are in season
Heirloom Roses has it at 45.00 in Gallon pot a bit much for me just now
the other two said no stock

I seriously doubt they are in stock anywhere at this time of year. I personally will not buy roses from Gurneys but have had real good luck with purchases from the three listed sites.

Sounds good!
A lot of studies are showing that oil is good for us. More calories from oil and fat(not high calories but as a percentage of calories extended the life of mice in a study at UC Davis

I'll have to look in to that. I just have about 50 jars of applesauce sitting around and less than a gallon of oil left right now lol

I like things baked with apple sauce! Keep on going with it.

There is a lot of new research that will change diet rules in the future. Watch out for it!
