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. :)
Paula, I recommend giving them a try, but you may not be able to share with vegan friends. I cook with eggs and non-grain flours already have a stick-together challenge (no gluten).
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.

Yum!!
(Not the lutefisk, the low-carb muffins.)
