Same as yesterday for both starters, though today when I got home I noticed that Cavanagh must be easily doubling in bulk, since I saw crusty evidence of that on the sides of the glass bowl I’m using to grow it in. This morning I tried using a timelapse video app to capture the activity while I was at work. Unfortunately, the app seems to have crashed about 15 minutes into the day.

I usually don’t eat sweet stuff for breakfast. But whenever we go to Wildwood, New Jersey, we start the day at Britton’s Gourmet Bakery, where I get their “world famous apple fritter.” It’s world famous, I suppose, because Ronald Reagan ordered a batch of them on someone’s recommendation and then wrote a letter to Britton’s [...]
