Store-bought vs homemade starter - a baker at the farmers market changed my take on it
This older guy at the farmers market in Portland told me his sourdough starter was 30 years old and he'd never used store-bought yeast, but I've had 3 failed starters in a row after 2 weeks each. Has anyone else had a stranger's advice on starters actually work out or is it just luck of the draw?

Store-bought vs homemade" used to feel like snobbery to me but now I get it.

My sister spent four hours making pasta from scratch last weekend. It tasted fine but honestly not that different from the box kind. @anna983 I get why people enjoy the process but acting like store-bought is some kind of failure seems a bit much.
