People have tried to give me the starter mix in the past and I have respectfully declined. I feel like I could get stuck in this bread making chain and possibly be converted to Amish beliefs (ha, I don't really fear that.... really... I don't). I've declined this starter bread my entire life - until yesterday that is. I found a message on my Facebook wall from a friend who wanted to know if I would like a starter kit and instead of running away screaming about the vicious cycle of Amish Friendship Bread I accepted the offer. I'm a baker (not professionally) and I should embrace this bread challenge (not that it should be considered a challenge). I should find out if it is any good (people rave about it) and I should see what I can do to it to make it unique... shouldn't I? That's my dilemma. Do I follow the recipe exactly, try an online variation, or my very own variation? I think I have some good ideas in mind, but when I have to wait 10 days to find out if they are awesome it becomes a painfully long process. Should I mess with the classic or switch it up? I'll probably just end up feeding it to my coworkers anyway (especially if it comes out bad... ha ha!) It'll be a fun project for me though. I hope the bread mix survives for 10 days; my potted basil in the windowsill died in my care in half that time ;)
Also, there's still the issue of the chain bread. I think I am going to break the chain instead of risking all of the extra carbs that would come my way ;) I'm an Amish rebel.
