Getting my beliefs challenged
I own the extended DVD set of "What the #$*! Do We (K)now!?" , also known as "Down the Rabbit Hole". I can't remember now how my browsing the internet today started, but I ended up learning a lot about the science in "What the Bleep": It's terribly inaccurate. There are other inaccuracies or downright errors, but for the most part quantum mechanics only work on quantum levels, not at sizes like a basketball or a universe or even a mere atom. And that spoils all New Age claims that it is quantum physics that explain the Law of Attraction or any other woo-woo belief, like spontaneous healing, psychic phenomenon or near-death experiences. Dang. I was so hoping science could explain these things by now. My surfing has brought me to The Committee for Skeptical Inquiry . There I have found good writing, and proper skepticism. Not the finger-pointing pooh-poohing of beliefs, but rather a behind-the-scenes look at some claims and what's factually ...

Yum!!
(Not the lutefisk, the low-carb muffins.)
Funny, my initial thought when seeing the mix was that long-ago "friendship jar." Not sure of the name ~ it was some kind of goop you would put in a pretty jar and give a friend. She (or he) would add a few ingredients and bake a loaf of bread (more like a cake). But they would not use all of the jar. They'd leave a couple tbsp's and then do the mix again, pass it along. Does that sound familiar? I was thinking of it earlier today and then saw your pic. :)
I have never heard of the friendship jar, but your description sounds like sharing sourdough, because that's exactly what one must do: Save some from one batch as starter for the next batch.
