Deja Vu all over again

I can't believe I am being sucked back into the vortex of 1980. This was when I was first tricked into taking a small container of Amish Friendship Bread starter. You see where I am going with this? Yep, it's 1980 all over again and I have a new little starter sitting on my kitchen counter where I normally have a big glass canister of kombucha brewing. The kombucha is hibernating in the fridge for a while as I got bored with having to take care of it all the time. So now I am taking care of a bread starter instead.

How did I let myself get into this again? What was I thinking? Good Lord! What's next? Am I going to crimp my hair and put some ankle warmers on? Shall I find a sweater with big ole shoulder pads? Am I going to start listening to Wham? Madonna? Hall & Oates?

I just looked through some recipe files and got out the recipes I had from way back when for the Amish Friendship breads so I can vary them because I can see my kitchen being over-run with starters and breads and cakes and pancakes and anything else you can stick that starter in. If I come calling, don't hide and pretend you aren't home. I will find a way to get you sucked into the Land of Starter, too!

For some reason I am now in the mood to watch The Breakfast Club. With a scrunchy in my hair!

  1. witty! you were right!! I will take a bag when it is time to separate it out. I had a craving for the stuff when I was preggers with Jack but could not find any.
    I will even find my leg warmers as well....

  2. omg - I had so much Amish friendship bread in our house one time that we could hardly sit down in the kitchen! I felt like there were oozy starters all over the place, and all I wanted was for it to STOP. Seriously. It's like zucchini and tomatoes in season - I will NOT answer the door if you come a callin'!

  4. I second the crimped hair. and as far as I know you have never liked music from the 80's. even in the 80's... but for some unknown reason the disco music lives on for you...
    Now excuse me while i listen to cheesy love songs from the 90's, when all the good music happened.
