My Latest Pet!

I seem to have a knack for taking on new and unusual pets. First it was the tad-trolls, they died. Then it was the multitude of butterflies and moths! Then it happened, at Monkey Man's science co-op, I was given...

AMISH FRIENDSHIP CAKE STARTER!

I was so excited, it sounded so yummy! Little did I know I'd have a bagful of slime that I'd have to feed milk, sugar and flour to every few days. Not only that, but it multiplies! It's worse than freakin' rabbits people! One bag of starter begets 2 loaves of bread AND 4 new bags of starter! Holy crap! I have alot of friends and all, but after you hit someone up once, it's over, then you're fighting with each other as to who gets to give their bag to the next friend! Luckily I have discovered you can freeze the starter, but at some point my freezer will overflow and there will be Amish Friendship cake starter flowing through the suburban streets of Austin, Texas! There needs to be a magic word, "Ibbity, abbity, STOP!"

I do admit though, the cake is damn good and rather addicting, so I am now on my third or fourth (I've lost count) run! I mean look at it...
it's moist, it's flaky on top, covered on all sides with cinnamon-y, sugary goodness! Cue picture of Homer Simpson with his mouth open and drooling! So hey, if this sounds good to you, by all means, let me know. I'm sure I could find a bag of starter around here somewhere!

  1. You better fess up with the recipe girl. You can't go displaying your wares like that :)

  2. I'm pretty sure you can google Amish Friendship cake starter and find it. It's basically a sourdough starter of some sort. Wish I could mail you a couple of bags, just don't think it would make it down under in less than 6 days!
