Mr. Sourdough Starter makes a Ms. Sourdough Loaf...by Jessica

So I baked off my first loaf of bread using my sourdough starter. I still am not quite sure if my starter did what it's supposed to do, but when I took off the towel and Zack walked by he said it smelled like sourdough...so I assumed it had done it's thing and I proceeded to bake.
Verdict?
Although Mr.Starter made a pretty Ms.Loaf (come on now, that looks like a girl, doesn't it?) I can't say that it tasted much different than my normal loaves of bread. No real sourdough tang. Do I need to let it sit our longer? Does it taste better and better the longer that the sourdough sits? I don't know. Any input would be appreciated.

Plastic is Drastic Project Update: We use a lot of plastic. I cleaned out my fridge to make croutons and I emptied out a pile of plastic bread bags. Chip bags, plastic baggies, the top of Starbucks lids...the list never ends! I thought we wouldn't be able to fill up one garbage bag full...and now I'm worried we're going to be the family with a truckload of plastic and the other two families are going to be so ashamed to sit near us.
