Shortly after I discovered the science in sourdough, I just had to see it to believe it(I do this all the time, it drives my wife crazy ;) ). The particular science that fascinated me was the fact that these yeasts we wanted just existed all around us and that we can breed them if needed. I just had to try this so I grabbed some old flour, threw in some water and followed a feeding schedule. To my delight, it came to life. I never intended this to be an eater so was not diligent about the feeding schedule. As a result, it got a little stinky after a while and I had to dump it. Science experiment over, but I came out of it knowing that I need to revisit this one day.
Note that this was before I had even tried a decent sourdough loaf as I was still 'discovering' better junk loaves. I had successfully switched to what seemed like a nice flax seed multigrain loaf.
Once I discovered that beautiful sourdough taste recently, there was no turning back.
