My sourdough starter finally came back to life after a week in the fridge
I forgot about it for almost 10 days and it looked totally dead, just a gray liquid on top. On a whim, I fed it with some rye flour from that little mill in Red Hook and left it on the counter. Two days later, it had doubled and smelled amazing, better than it ever has. Has anyone else had a starter seem to die and then come back stronger?

Wait, rye flour from the Red Hook mill? That stuff is impossible to get unless you know someone. Your starter came back from the dead on that fancy flour, no wonder it smells amazing.

That mill's flour reminds me of my old neighborhood bakery.

Actually you can totally get that flour online now, they started shipping last fall. But yeah, that rye is magic for starters.
