And I assume all you bakers out there are familiar with the King Arthur Flour Bakers catalog (www.kingarthurflour.com). I'm considering taking up a crack habit because it would be cheaper than my addiction to the stuff in this catalog.
In addition to great flour (which Costco occasionally sells for cheap, btw) King ARthur sells a fresh sourdough starter that you can use to get your own batch going. Twenty years later, I can still hear my aunt screaming at my uncle, who had just cleaned out the fridge and thrown away a blob of goop -- my aunt's "family heirloom" sourdough starter.
