Bread-Bakers v106.n048.3

I ended up buying King Arthur's starter and it arrived a couple days 
ago. In the morning I will be baking Mike Avery's Blueberry Sourdough 
Muffins. Then I will be converting a portion of the sourdough starter 
to whole wheat. Boy, the house smells wonderfully like sourdough!

Too late.  Thanks though!

I didn't wait just 10 hours, I waited something like 4 days by the 
time it went in the garbage.  I followed the instructions and didn't 
get a single bubble.
