This is what I woke up to this morning:
Yes, Gentle Reader(s), that is friendship bread starter. In a puddle on the floor and dribbled down the front of my cabinet.Apparently in the night, despite my having burped the Ziploc last night before I went to bed, the yeasty starter managed to break through the seal, tip itself over and then proceed to leak out onto the counter and floor.
You can see from all the bubbles how active the yeast has been. I had high hopes for this batch, that I might both be able to keep it alive and then successfully bake. But alas, no.
A pretty big puddle. Of yeasty, sugary, creamy goodness. It's particularly fun to clean up. At 6 AM.

Bummer. I was really looking forward to eating some of that bread.
I am convinced that "Friendship Bread" is a complete sham and conspiracy. The first time I tried to do it, like you, I had major eruption and spillage. The second time, the thing flat out didn't work. With all the "forward this concoction" nonsense, clearly Friendship Bread is the Amish equivalent of hoax chain emails. Either that or my antisocialness naturally prevents Friendship Bread from working.
