Some people treat sourdough starter like a pet and care for it pretty much constantly, whereas other people tend to treat it more like a hardy plant. From what I've seen and tasted both are fine! In the San Francisco bay area, which I hear is a place that makes ok sourdough, you have a lot of different places to go to grab wild yeast or premade starter. For those less fortunate, you can even get sourdough starter for free via the post! Carl Griffith's Sourdough Starter is still around, I believe, and you can't really go bust with a starter that draws its roots from the tail end of the Industrial Revolution.

I would like to share that I recently received the book Tartine Bread as an unexpected birthday gift, and it is pretty fantastic. The pictures are beautiful. It feels like a much more lay version of the Breadbaker's Apprentice, which is also fantastic, and I also own that too!

I have questions about starter. I was reading through Tartine and when you're preparing the leaven you take about 20% of your starter and discard the remaining 80%? Can you do anything with that remaining 80%, or is it basically intended to be thrown out?
