sourdough starters. Forgive me if someone else has already mentioned the
following link by Brian Dixon, but it is one of my favorite references for
helping starters "in need":

Also, here is a link for a bread recipe by Gaye Levy which I've made
several times with great success.

I have also found that a *few* drops of rice wine vinegar into the dough
mixture helps if I feel I need a bit more sour flavor. Do NOT put the
vinegar into your original starter or starter jar as that will contaminate it.
Hope these help!
