where would one go in NY to get actual sourdough? Ive yet to find any and I miss it. I know yeast harvested here wouldn't have a natural strong sour, but surely someone has brought in yeast from elsewhere and made some to sell.

I keep a culture from Carl Griffith's 1847 Oregon Trail Sourdough alive. I bake bread a few times a week. Some will be going in the oven soon. I'd be happy to share some starter with you. You can make great bread at home in about 5 minutes. It's so easy and nothing smells better. I use this lady's method.

Thanks so much for the offer Smokey. I think making my own is probably the route I'll need to take. I actually bought a bread stone and bought some starter that is the oldest-known and most sour strain in the world from that guy (forgot his name) that travels around and collects strains and sells them, but I haven't activated it yet because I'm terrified I'll eff it up. It's in a packet. I guess I just need to add water and feed it. I think I've been inspired - maybe I'll do it this weekend! if I kill it I might need to take you up on your offer. :?

It's only water and flour. Feed it once a week if you use it or not. Just pour half out. Or maybe some blueberry sourdough pancakes...

I know, but this stupid (read: awesome) sourdough book I read had all these details about how when you very first activate it it has to be in a certain temperature between 68 and 72 (or something like that) and covered with cheesecloth for 2 days or how it won't live to its maximum potential. And it got me all freaked out that my kitchen is too drafty and that i would kill it. I'm being stupid. I'll just activate it this weekend, sans cheesecloth.

Just use an empty quart take out soup container. Poke a little hole in the top to let the CO2 out and just leave it on the kitchen counter. If it gets a little cold it will just ferment a little slower. You can't kill it. Good luck.

I have never seen anyone in my life eat pumpernickel.
I think it should be discontinued as a bread.

Pumpernickel rocks! What's the other bread they swirl it with - rye?
