My friend at Toscano-Colombo (They have 2 VAX 750's and an 11/70, BTW, but running VMS and RSTS.) says their researchers can now make Sourdough anywhere; geography and climate have nothing to do with it. The magic is procedure and the starter culture. And, no you can't get any of their starter. My friend says she would be fired if she got me any and she can't get it anyway. There are numerous sourdough cookbooks available, most are pretty decent. Berry Kercheval Zehntel Inc. (ihnp4!zehntel!zinfandel!berry) (415)932-6900
