My sourdough starter used to live in a closet, now it's on the kitchen counter
Switched after reading a book from the library that argued starters need to see daily life to develop character. Anyone else keep theirs out in the open?
Honestly I used to think the whole "builds character" thing was just something people said to make hard times sound good. But going through a couple really rough patches at work last year, like actually failing at stuff I thought I'd be good at, it did shift how I handle pressure. I'm way less likely to panic now and more focused on just fixing the problem. So yeah, it changed me in a real way.
