Started a sourdough starter 3 weeks ago because I saw it on TikTok and thought why not. Now I'm feeding it like a pet twice a day and my kitchen smells like a brewery. Finally did my first bake yesterday and the bread is actually pretty good? Kids won't eat it because it's "too sour" but my wife said it's better than store bought. Anyone else doing this or am I that guy now.
Haha the TikTok sourdough curse. I started one last month and now I'm basically married to this jar. My kids think I talk to it too much. How's your starter looking after 3 weeks?
TikTok has made us all think we're bakers. But hey, if your kids are interested in helping feed it, that's a pretty cool weekend project right there.
You've basically got a pet that requires constant attention now. My oldest wanted to try sourdough last month and we're still feeding that thing. At least the bread is good when it finally works out.
Weekend missions are what keep me sane honestly. Sourdough sounds way better than what I've been doing which is honestly just scrolling while my kids watch screens.

This is the real pandemic hobby that never died. I'm on starter number 2 because I forgot about number 1 in the back of the fridge. The feeding schedule is brutal when you've got other stuff going on.
