My first loaves. Day 1

Yesterday did the prelim work to creating my first loaf. 

Just using the directions from the Sourdough Intl. book this time around. 

Pulled my starters from the fridge and fed them.

Waited.

Removed the prescribed amount of starter from the jars and then added the flour and salt water mixture. I let my Kitchen Aid do all of the mixing and kneading.

Fed the two starter jars in preparation for putting them to sleep in the fridge.  I had planned to put them into the fridge before going to get my kids from school. 

Got home and was very surprised to see that both jars (still on the countertop) had overflowed all down the sides into puddles on the counter.  Guess they just got away from me... OOPS! 

As a result, I had to do something with the excess.  Pulled out the Kitchen Aid and started making another loaf.

Got the mess all cleaned up.  Transferred the starters to clean jars.  Then ping.... they now have their names.  My runaway starters are now and forever called Thelma and Louise
