ok, so maybe a silly question, but what are the initial ingredients to the friendship bread? I can't imagine that you are squeezing and empty bag for three days ;-)

The internet says that it's just flour, sugar, milk, and yeast. (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Amish-Friendship-Bread-Starter/Detail.aspx) I got a baggie from a friend to start with, though. Charles is heading to Pax River tomorrow.. should he drop some off? :P
