So Does your Sourdough Starter Have A Name?

It was brought to my attention recently that my Starter should have a name. After all as i t was reasoned to me "If you feed it you gotta name it," That got me to thinking Does that mean I can claim it on my taxes as a dependent?

So for the sake of discussion Do you have a name for your Starter?

It’s only 3 months old so right now it’s called Baby Doh with a nod to the Baby Doe Mine and also to the Simpsons.

Charlie (who would be in 2nd grade at least now).  It was my third attempt at a starter.

Nigel Jnr actually. Nigel Snr met a very unsavoury end.

At least that must be it because once a week, when my wife goes up to bed, I'm heard to say, "I'll be up in a minute.  I have to feed my children."

Dairy cows were named, since they were around for a number of years, but anything else remained anonymous.

It is a French strain, and Asterix was small but mighty.

After my late mother. We both stumbled blindly through the wilderness for years in search of sourdough without having a clue. She would have been a diligent baker.

 

BTW "Bettie" is now 1 year old and resides in my refrigerator. Her hobby is baking, too.
