Sylvia's Sourdough Starter and Bread

Current starter was easy to make and has a lovely flavor.  I simply mixed a couple of tablespoons of active yogurt with a cup of water and a cup of flour, covered loosely with a tea towel, let set for a week or so, and I had a nice culture.  I did make a point of baking yeast bread a couple of times that week, to sweeten the air.

I do my usual bread recipe of:

3 cups water
3 tbsp olive oil
3 tsp salt
1 tbsp honey/sugar
lots of flour

Leave out the yeast, add a cup of starter, decrease the water half a cup because of the liquid in the starter, and let the sponge go overnight if I want an extra sour batch.

Anybody else notice that barometric pressure has a correlation with how excited the sourdough gets???
