Two days have passed, and the feeding has begun. Like a boa constrictor consumes it daily diet of rodents, and small jungle creatures, so too has my rye flour engulfed the 2/3 cup of bread flour it was fed last night. The rye flour was puffy and swollen looking upon its consumption, so there was definitely some fermentation going on. I added the bread flour, stirred to mix, now I wait another two days before feeding number two.

When I stirred the mixture it was very thick. The consistency was definitely more than, “a thick pancake batter,” as the recipe said it would be. I would equate it to a lumpy, dense scone batter, but pancake batter is sort of subjective, right? It alarmed me enough so that I asked Brian, “And just what do I do if this doesn’t work out, and here I am documenting it online, for all the world to see my embarrassment.” His remark, “If it doesn’t work out, it doesn’t work out, and you’ll try another recipe.” So, with much trepidation, I give you Goo Day 3.
