Many cookbooks suggest stirring the starter once a day even when
being refrigerated; I find that it is not necessary. You must,
however, use a portion of the starter at least once a week. If you
choose not to bake sourdough breads that often, then remove a cup of
your starter and feed it as though you used some during the week. If
this is not done, your starter will turn rancid and have to be
replaced. Should you be away on vacation or otherwise not able to
tend to the starter, freeze it. Upon your return, thaw it in the
refrigerator and then remove a portion and feed it as soon as you are
able.
You may be thinking that this sounds too complicated, but it really
is not, nor is the starter overly fragile. A friend of mine had the
same starter for 14 years!
My first few loaves of sourdough were not very sour and I feared it
was my starter. After allowing the starter to mellow a little by
sitting in the refrigerator and using only once a week, it and the
breads became more sour.
Another hint is to put the bread in on the timer cycle for early
morning baking. The milk put in the night before adds a little more
sour taste. If the bread is getting too sour for you, feed with water
more often than milk. Source: The Bread Machine Cookbook by Donna

Diet hints and tips

If you enjoy your food, but need to become slim and boost your general vitality, then, without doubt, you need to decide on a meticulously calculated sensible weight loss program. Ideally, this ought to contain 5 standard portions of fruit/vegetables each day and also contain a sensible proportion of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.

When planning a meal plan, you have to also make efforts to lower your intake of refined carbohydrate, salt and fats.

When chosing foods for dieting, people frequently focus on supermarket and big brand food products referred to as 'low-fat'. This is usually incorrect, since an item might be lowered in fat content, but still far too high in carbohydrates and calories.

Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then at some stage in a busy afternoon, you presume that you are hungry but in truth you may simply want a restorative tumbler of water or fruit juice. The feelings of being thirsty and being hungry are quite alike, but one ends in bad health and one does not.

As an alternative to paying too much attention to the many types of food you really should leave out of your dietary regime, direct your attention to the sensible foods that you might want to bring into your meal plan. If you manage to insert some wholesome grains and vegetables into your dietary regime, you'll soon see that you feel more satisfied and have a much decreased chance of falling prey to those damaging mid-morning sweets and chocolate bars.
