After a few hours of light sourdough research, Lois finds her starter bubbling, singing and even emitting strange smells. The good news is that all the starter needs is a little flour and water, as well as a sound system to play the starter's favorite music from the special CD thrust into Lois' hands along with a ceramic crock of gray glop. How is she supposed to keep the starter alive? Lois barely uses her kitchen and offers zero experience in any cooking arena. When the owners of Clement Street are forced to leave the country due to visa issues, Lois is baffled to learn that they have gifted her, their favorite customer, with their sourdough starter.
