A starter with a name
It learns your jar, then tells you when it is ready.
Knows when it peaks
A prediction for this jar, in this kitchen.
It starts from the feeding ratio and your kitchen's temperature. Tell it when the jar really peaked, and the next prediction is closer.
A jar with opinions
It keeps a diary. It is faintly unimpressed.
Tap the jar and it answers. On Sunday evening it writes you a letter about its week. Keep two, and they have views on each other.
Dress the jar
Cloth, cork or a crown. Twelve colours. Pearls, if it has earned them.
A starter has a family
Most starters were given by someone, or will be given to someone.
Give some away and the jar keeps its place in the tree. Everyone who has a piece can see where the family has spread, and only they can.
Room for the whole shelf
More than one starter
A shelf of jars, each with its own reminders.
What it is fed on
Wheat, rye or spelt: each jar says what it lives on.
The fridge, and holidays
Rest it in the cold, with a plan for when you are away.
And the small things
- A star signFrom its birthday, with a horoscope in the Sunday letter.
- A postcard from the fridgeIt writes when it has been in the cold a while.
- Dressed for the occasionA scarf in the fridge, sunglasses in the heat, a hat on its birthday.
- Little soundsA bubble, a burp. One switch turns them off.
- Build a levainSay how much you need and when. It says what to weigh.
- Retired jarsA jar that is gone stays in the family tree.
