The starter is bacteria, an animal in other words. Lots of little animals. If you are going on vacation you could leave instructions with a neighbor to take care of it. I just finished a batch of Amish Friendship Bread and in that model a cup of starter is placed in ziploc bags and distributed to friends with a copy of instructions to care for the starter. Finally a recipe is included with the Friendship Bread model. Sometime, if KAF does not already have Amish Friendship Bread methodology already, I will email it in. I'll do it soon.
