I had no idea the friendship started it was so versatile. lol, I had to laugh when it talked about your neighbors going the other way when you showed up with another bag of starter! Sounds like me and my zucchini crop last year.
The gift that keeps on giving :-) Friendship starter always brings to mind “The Little Shop of Horrors”. The living plant was always complaining: “Feed Me” “Feed Me” “Feed Me”
The starter gift was enjoyed for a time, but eventually the entire batch was used and never replaced. Years later made my own starter which actually worked out well. Then life interfered and that starter, too, became a poor neglected child. Nothing better on a winter day than fresh bread popping out of the oven.
Somewhere, in some drawer are several pages of Friendship starter recipes which will be found (hopefully).
The starter here in Texas was named “Herman” (unable to remember the man eating plant’s name in “Little Shop....”
Found some Herman recipes in one drawer for different goodies and will post later. Time for bed at the moment. In the meantime, try these sites for different Herman variety breads and such:
