The men in my family (multiple generations) have developed this "look" that they get on their faces when they're about to tell a groaner. We all start groaning before they even open their mouths. It's gotten so my Dad can't even really tell a joke anymore because we're all rolling our eyes before he even starts...

OK, REALLY going to bed now...

@Sally Sunshine
Of all sourdough pancake recipes, this is my favorite:

Sourdough pancakes

2 cups sourdough starter
2 eggs
2 Tbs sugar
1 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1Tbs water

Beat eggs
In separate bowl, mix together the sugar, salt, water and baking soda. Combine with the eggs.
Add sourdough.
Beat with a wooden spoon, do not over beat.

It's also my favorite to add chocolate chips to.

"Fluffy" is an understatement!

It needs to get air (do not seal), but it dries out and/or stuff and bugs get in if it's just wide open (fridge or counter), so I latch loosely, but cheesecloth under a mason jar lid like MC did will work - if you have it in a bowl, maybe put some cheesecloth over it and hold in place with rubber band?

It's not the end of the world if it's wide open (esp. now as you're reviving it), but as you store it over hours, days, weeks, you don't want it completely open to bugs, flint, stuff falling in (or it drying out)...

Mine gets mean when it's hungry!

(I love that set up by the way. Butter muslin or cheese cloth held by mason jar ring? Do you find that it dries out? I use a latched lid jar but have to rig it to be open just a bit - can be a pain...) OK, I really do need to head to bed. Will check on shipped eggs in the morning, candle in situ, mark air cells, and then begin hand turning (3x a day only) the saddled ones - thanks for the input Sally and Local! - Ant Farm

It's cheesecloth. I have never had it dry out when it's on the counter. It does begin to dry out in the refrigerator, but I just stir it up and feed it.

Sally, you know this. It's just fermented feed. Don't fret. It needs to breathe and collect wild yeast. The cheesecloth is to keep the bugs out.
