Had to pick between a $5 bag of fancy flour and a $12 block of butter at the store yesterday

I went with the butter because my sourdough starter was almost dead, and now I'm eating plain toast with fancy butter wondering where my priorities went, has anyone else been broke but still insisted on the good ingredients?

Oh come on, "fed it bedtime stories"? That sourdough starter is a lump of flour and water, not a pet. I get that good butter is a game changer, but are we really acting like a dying starter is an emergency? You could've just tossed it and started a new one for like a dollar. People get way too dramatic about this stuff, its just bread.

Priorities went out the window with that sourdough starter.

Ha! Tell me about it @johnflores. I spent three straight hours naming my levain and reading it bedtime stories before I remembered I had laundry sitting in the washer for two days.
