I killed Betty. [View all]

The sourdough starter I made last year. I worked for months to get her to rise perfectly and then tonight, I killed her.
Admittedly, I'd had a few beers and I put her in the oven and set the temperature to 350°. Just to warm it up, and I forgot. Usually, I just keep it on for 30 or so seconds, but tonight, I forgot to turn it off.

RIP Betty.
