The Hemin Bread Saga

Just to give an update on what eventually happened to the Hemin Bread...Well, I actually did follow the procedure -- though not really to the letter. There was a time when I forgot to mix on a given day and got home at 3am so I mixed it before going to sleep. And I am not sure if I counted the days right - is Day 1 the day you receive the dough or is it the day after? Anyways, I tried to do it the best way I can. Finally, the 10th day came and I can't find 3 people who are willing to receive a piece of the 4 part dough. Can you imagine, not even my own Mom would like to receive it! Anyway, so I kept my part of the dough added it with the required milk, sugar, flour, baking powder and baked as instructed...It was smelling good and yummy...Finally it was cooked...but nobody in the house wants to eat it! The household staff thinks it is 'panis' (rotten) already. I tasted it and it seems ok but I also can't seem to eat some more. Only my father got a good taste of it -- and he seemed to like it! Or he may just be hungry that time -- I don't know. Well, I have not heard of any news that my father got a stomach ache or anything like that so it must be really ok. But then, there is still 3/4's worth of baked Hemin Bread sitting at home...Any takers?

Hemin Bread from Padre Pio

I just received today from a neighbor a dough of Hemin bread supposedly from the Vatican and has some connection with Padre Pio...I am still debating with myself whether to continue with the whole procedure or not as I hate chain letters...Now, is this considered to be a chain letter? Maybe a more of a 'chain activity'...I love Padre Pio and I am not sure if this 'breadmaking' thing is doing him good or harm? On the otherhand, he's already a saint so nothing can harm him...Should I crossover to doing this or just stay put and let it be...Anyway, let me think some more...
