Herman is Dead

I killed Herman today. My Amish Friendship bread starter. I started it on Labor day and killed it off today. All my Christmas breads are in the freezer, 62 small loaves and 8 regular loaves. They are all for Christmas gifts. That is the bulk of any baking I do for Christmas. I am so glad they are baked and put away. I did 7 batches today.

  6. I read your post title and thought "oh no!!!" How funny. I used to have a Herman but I sure didn't get anything out of him before he died.

    I'm astounded at the amount you've baked!

  7. I didn't know your started had a name! That is a lot of baking to do. I have done this kind of bread before. I kept passing the starter on until no one wanted it anymore. Then it just sort of died off I guess. :)
