Messing Around With Sourdough

I've been baking with my sourdough starter for the last few weeks.  I usually whip up a batch of sourdough waffles or pancakes every weekend.  My starter is from my grandmother and she told me it was my grandfather's before they were married.  My grandfather kept bees, so no maple syrup, just fresh churned butter and honey on our pancakes at Grandma's house...I keep up the tradition.  But this last Sunday I wanted something super yummy, something to remind me of warm Spring days...so I whipped up a batch of sourdough pancakes, spread on some homemade Mascarpone cheese and dumped a pint of cherry pie filling I made last June...my version of a super-duper cheese blintz: hot damn!  Gooooooooood!
