Finally got around to starting a purchased starter. I used to have a starter, but I just haven't had the time or the mind to keep it up for a while. I found some Goldrush San Francisco Sourdough Starter at a local store. This is the first purchased starter I have ever used. I stuck it next to the light in the oven overnight, and it bubbled and smelled wonderful. Since I fed it today, I set aside some for pancakes in the morning. Yummy.

Eulogy for my Danskos
A bit on the frivolous side of things, but my husband finally convinced me to give up my favorite, wonderful, best pair of shoes ever. I have had this pair of Danskos for 6 years now, and they are not the best fashion statement any more. (Then again, I am beginning to wonder if anything I wear anymore it in style.)
Two winters ago, I went for a walk at night, to blow off some bad vibes, and slipped on ice while crossing the street. I ended up in the ER watching the Olympic figure skating competition while being fitted for a cast. Broken Tibia. It gets worse.... I was 8 months pregnant and in need of screws to set the bone. Fortunately I had healed enough to not need a boot or crutches by the time the baby came.
One would think I would have given up the shoes then and there. They have always been a bit on the precarious side. But I loved they way they fit, and they were easy to slip on and off, a must when chasing little kids around.
I went to the store last night. I have been watching a pair of Merrils for a few weeks, and decided that they would be the best winter option for my beloved Danskos. I did bring them home, but kept looking at my feet, thinking I need a fleece vest and some turtle necks and I will look just like Mom.
