Day Six: Yet another fail

 OK Today is the 20th anniversary of the Oklahoma City Bombing (Also my late fathers birthday) Day six and another failed starter it looked very promising but in the morning the foam was gone. it was very smelly, but no foam no leavening. At this point looking back at the blog I think it is the milk that is slowing me up and after looking at all of the recipes from grandmothers  they keep it simple in most cases no milk in the starter, 

 So I have sliced two potatoes thinly and put them and hot water to a bowl the temperature of the potatoes and water were 110 degrees when combines. I sprinkled 1t flour, 1 t cornmeal and 1/8 t baking soda on the top. The mixture is fermenting now.
