Shoggoth friendship bread

[stillsostrange]

Thanks for all the congratulations, guys, and hi new people. To avoid confusion, let me state immediately that this is not an exciting or interesting LJ. I don't even post pictures of my cats as often as I should. Today, however, I have two things to share.

#1. Shoggoth Friendship Bread
(modified from Amish Friendship Bread)

1 cup shoggoth starter
2/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar 1 cup of white sugar in one place scares me a little, so I used half a cup of brown sugar and a generous squeezing of honey.
1 teaspoon cinnamon Bah. You call that cinnamony? I used 2, and some clove, and an orange worth of zest.
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 350. Mix everything. Pour into greased loaf pans. (The original recipe says 2 pans, but I only had one and it came out fine.) Bake for 50-60 minutes. Nom nom nom.

This is a worthy recipe for Eddie Elmerson.

#2. Technoviking! I may be behind the times here, and everyone else has already seen the beauty of Technoviking, but I think his jiggling technopecs deserve watching again.

Great. Now I'm hungry again.

Kudos to you and Eddie Elmerson! I will have to try it if I ever get to go home again.

Remember, the amish only have one spice--bland--and they put it on everything.

(your other complaint is addressed by the food pyramid: starch, sugar, and fat.)

(I should also mention that I ADORE Amish baked goods. This is not a slur, just a statement of fact.)

Wait a minute... that's it! That's all you have after landing JJ as an agent (no easy feat, I might add, you must write some pretty cool stuff).

Well... I'll give you a few more posts before I decide to un-friend already ;-)

And you know what... I love that Amish Bread, we made a few loaves not too long ago.

I'm not sure where you get shoggoth starter, but I'm afraid to ask. :)

Congratulations on the agenting, and I too will be at Wiscon, so I hope to hear you read.

I got my shoggie from cvillette. I think Elmer is a King Arthur flour shoggoth.
