I had someone give me a bag of that goo and I totally f'd it up. I hate the people that try to get me to do that shit, I would rather drop acid then make Amish bread. I have to agree that the bread is delicious though. Funny shit Amy....you need to send this link to Emily Sable, she would get a kick out of this too. OMG…That was histarical.

There is a sequence of numbers called a Fibonacci Sequence.

In the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, each number is the sum of the previous two numbers. Thus the sequence begins 0,1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, etc.

The higher up in the sequence, the closer two consecutive “Fibonacci numbers” of the sequence divided by each other will approach the “golden ratio” (approximately 1 : 1.618 or 0.618 : 1)

The golden ratio was supposed to be the perfect/divine ratio that brings us closer to God.

Do you think Amish bread follows its own “divine sequence”? Start with one starter, then 4, then 16, etc and end up with 6 billion, etc? Does Amish bread bring us closer to God? Or perhaps is it, in numerical (and yeast-ical form) the Devil’s Sequence?. This would be defined as one that rapidly approaches infinity and may in fact get there while using up all the sugar and enslaving one to one’s kitchen and to the Ziplock Company.

I am quitting job tonight and pursing this as PH-D dissertation study. Of course, do not have Masters, so this may be slight stumbling block. Perhaps all will finally realize brilliance and just give me the damn degree. Perhaps they will give it to me just to stop handing out starter.

have a great weekend,

That's hysterical!! And I thought I was out of control!! The starter started to get ahead of me! And, sadly, reluctantly, I admit, that my prolific run has tragically come to an end. I committed "startercide!!!!" My 3 starters- in the garbage. I turn myself in-I am an unfit "startermom." I just couldn't take the pressure- I'll be in therapy on Monday... Our sides hurt!!

I am still wiping away the tears. I am supremely unpopular due to large amounts of starter handed out among friends who now hide from me. However, on a braggy note, my starter can walk and has already run hid between the counter and fridge and under the draining board. We are proud. Harvard application for starter pending.
