I read tips on several sites, but it is great to hear from someone who has made it. The recipes are similar on the sites and in the cookbook, and they all emphasize keeping the starters warm. I've been having good luck with yeast bread by starting the oven for a few minutes, then shutting it off, and turning on the light when I put the dough in to rise. As I get used to doing that, I get the temp just right for a good rise.

I'll probably start the first starter Th.

I have cornmeal, milk and I hope patience this time.

Thank you for your comments
