Amish Friendship Bread (Please read! It's neat stuff!)

[v291...@ubvms.cc.buffalo.edu]

This recipe is one of those ones where you make a "starter culture" and
it keeps on growing, and you give it to friends, and it keeps on growing.... :)
(And they tell two friends...and THEY tell two friends....)
Kind of the "Old World" version of a chain letter, but you eat it! :)
Enjoy!

Yeah. Somebody gave me some of that stuff years ago but it was a totally
different recipe that used a package of Jell-O vanilla pudding. The
resulting bread was super sweet. Not to our liking but my MIL liked it.
For a couple of weeks. And then she too got sick of it. And nobody wanted
the damned starter.
