One sourdough starter, nine households, mild chaos

It began when Priya split her starter rather than throw half away. Nine households later, the shared starter has a name, a WhatsApp group, and a spreadsheet tracking whose turn it is. Loaf quality varies wildly and is discussed with sporting-commentary intensity.

The starter has survived two holidays, one house move, and an incident nobody refers to directly.

Nobody bakes because they need bread. They bake because the group chat goes quiet when someone skips a week, and that feels worse.

What is the strangest thing you share with neighbours?
