Keeping up with sourdough at home can be hard but don't stress


I left a jar of starter neglected in the kitchen for a month to see what happens, it's a cold room with not much light.  
This is what it looked like
It does not look good but it is, the liquid on top is it crying for a feed. 
So this morning I mixed in some strong white flour to make it a drier mix more like a very wet dough.

A few hours later and it was like this 
Alive again smelling great and starting to bubble away :) almost ready to bake again.

Please note that if there is bad mould on it bin it but this should not happen as sourness prevents mould.
