Courtesy, manners and tradition

They're not just suspected of running puppy mills: I think it's been thoroughly and clearly documented. Oprah even did a whole show about it!

I have/had heard that the Amish treat their animals horribly. I realize that not ALL Amish do this, but, nonetheless, with what I have read/heard, I do not buy Amish.

Weird that the converstion has turned to Amish people. I was just given a "beginner's bag" of some kind of bread that is started by them and they give people a starter bag so you can make the bread but you always have starter bags that you pass on and the next person passes on, and on, etc. Never heard of this before but the bread is delicious and I have a list of ingredients to add to the starter kit so I might just give it a try. I can't remember what the person called it now...I think it was the "Friendship Bread".
Anyone else ever hear of this?

Yes it's good stuff. Only our circle of friends used to call it Herman (as if it was a person lol). So we had Herman bread. Haven't had it in years since no one has any starters anymore around here.

Is that like sourdough bread? If it is use the starter and make pancakes with it.

I have no idea what it is really. I do know that is was quite good and that you end up with 4 started bags . You can freeze it but it's always pliable, doesn't freeze really hard and it's not supposed to go bad . I'm going to give a bag to one of my friends today to see what happens - she should end up with 4 bags also. It has yeast in it so I don't think it's sourdough, that doesn't have yeast does it?
