I was cleaning out my baking closet (I made onen of the cabinets in 
my kitchen just for baking) today and found a baggie that says "Dry 
Sourdough Starter" in it and I don't remember when i received it and 
how old it is.

I was wondering how to tell if it is still good? If it is, how to use it?

I once knew but can't remember now. It's been sooooo long.

I've been thinking about making a starter - I was reading The Panera 
Bread Book today and they had recipes using starter. I want to make 
one of their loaves (I adapted their Three Cheese Bread yesterday and 
it was marvelous) and can't until I have a workable starter.

Any answers would be appreciated.
