OMG! I almost killed Betty! [View all]

My sourdough starter. I fed her and put her in the oven. I turned the oven on like I always do. But, forgot to turn it off after one minute of warming. She's ok now. The center was not heated badly, so I poured some out and fed her. I also pinched off a good piece of raw dough from the loaf I was making and stirred it all together. She is bubbling up nicely. Phew! That was close!!!
