is going to meet me in St. Louis with a starter. Oddly, this starter came from the original from my grandfather– the only one left. Since I’m taking a train to Michigan, I won’t have to surrender it to the authorities (them stinkin’ authorities always wantin’ mah starter!)
Maybe dad and I can dry some while I’m there and I can take a starter batch home with me.
It’s ironic that I’m worried about the TSA confiscating the sourdough starter I want to bring to my dad. He works for the TSA.
[Yes, I am cynical these days.]
Anyway, the latest OMGTerrorists! scare means that the big family tradition of sharing sourdough will not happen, because the airlines won’t allow it in the cabin, and there’s no way sourdough starter will transport in checked baggage without either exploding or dying from heat or cold or pressure.
*le sigh*
I’m glad I found out about this today– I haven’t been keeping up on the news, and I would have been very sad to have my starter confiscated (and even more sad to be arrested at the airport).
Spanish verbs are easy to learn, except the irregular verbs, which you just kind of have to memorize.
Additional observation: MOST of the verbs you need early on (to go, to have, to be) are irregular.
