Jan 6, Dessert. Amish Friendship Bread and Butter Pecan Ice Cream from the Pennsylvania State Creamery. Samantha (my niece) came up with this starter for a spice cake and part of the deal is that you split your starter with 3 other people. So now there are three loaves of this stuff floating around the city... and who knows how more after that. Sounds like a pyramid scheme involving bread dough and starter to me. Eventually, all of Albania will collapse under the weight.
