This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Sourdough starter can be left for at least 2-3 weeks between feeds and it'll perk right up again with a little love.
I blame the need for this on the Swedes and their worker-centric culture allowing for months off. USians would never have this problem with their maximum 2 weeks off. Take that Sweden!
Can confirm. Am a Swedish worker. Haven't worked in years and my sourdough starter is black.
