A bag of smelly bread mush isn't a way to show friendship.

Curse you, Amish Friendship Bread!!!

Now I'm obligated to spend time with this or feel guilty about wasting it.

1. Oh, I hate that shit! It's like a doughy chain letter! I refused the last time I was offered some

and got a sad puppy dog look. But it was better than being forced to bake that. I'm not big into baking.

2. Free Bread Dough and Neighborly Friendship Too? Why THANK YOU!

Because Wonder Bread® et al are a TERRIBLE way to nourish a healthy human body, and a healthy human body is a terrible thing to feed GM grain products and synthetic "shortening products", and because GM grain products and synthetic "shortenings" et al are a terrrible way to invest our limited resources when our own bodily nutrition is at stake/on the lin/at risk. (There, that is the term!)

Hey, so toss ME all that denigrated although handmade dough, my friends; MY wee oven works just fine. Only, one thing: Not entirely unlike that legendary Little Red Hen, I'll make sure to share the well-baked baked and delicious hand-sliced and steaming-hot buttered end product of my hand with the one who compounded that batch of fine dough in the first place, MUCH rather than with any who hated the idea of eating hot buttered homebaked bread until its irresistable aroma, by my hand and infusion of firewood-derived thermal energy, might appear in their turned-up little (mebbe' consumer-not-producer-grade) nostrils.

Better yet, someone who does not like homemade bread dough in-a-bag due to its (unfamiliar?) smell could swallow their inexplicable innate revulsion (is it a Culture Thing?) just long enuf to kindly just drop our generous and respectable neighbor the Word of Invitation... Maybe they'll share a little take-home with my dough-hating although otherwise Good and Trustworthy Messenger on the way back home. (After all, the productive laborer is worthy of their hire, and neighborly virtue always deserves its cut.) :)

Hot buttered homemade whole-grain bread, handmade from hand-ground, hand-raised, genetically sound and non-corporatized cereal grain. Look further, Young Grasshoppers, one mere step down the chain of human action past the smelly first-stage breadmaker's work-surface. Then it is YUMMMMM! O8)

3. Well that was definitely an epic first post

Welcome to DU, hope you enjoy your stay!

4. Um, what? Actually, the standard recipe calls for white sugar and white flour, which I avoid and

my diabetic husband does not eat at all. It's not quite Wonder Bread but it's not exactly whole grain organic bread either. I love homemade bread as much as the next person but handing someone a bag of dough when you have no idea whether they have the time or inclination to bake it (and whether they can even eat it) is not very considerate as far as I'm concerned.

6. I can sorta understand

bread starters are like keeping pets. You have to feed them and play with them every day.

15. And imagine if your coworker walked into your office with a hamster and said

"Here my hamster had babies and I'm giving you one to show my friendship." I love hamsters but would be pretty put off by that.

10. I happen to like it!

Hubby brought some home a few weeks ago, and we're keeping all the starter for ourselves and playing around with various recipes. Won't last much longer, because we're both kinda lazy, but it's been fun for a while.
