I got the neglected starter out from the back of the fridge the day
before yesterday. It's been there for about 18 months or maybe more.
I spooned off the gray layer, stirred up the rest and put a spoonful
in a clean jam jar, added some warm water and a couple of spoonfuls of
AP flour. I did that a couple of times that day. There were no real
bubbles, just something.
Yesterday I poured almost all out of the jar, added warm water and
enough flour to make a thick paste, put the jar in the oven with the
lights on and placed a wooden spoon in the bottom of the door crease
to keep the door ajar so it wouldn't get too hot in there. Today the
pint jar is hopping and almost full to the top with foam. I guess it
was just waiting for some love ;-))
