Bread starter should smell sour. It is the chemical action of yeasts digesting the sugar in the starter that produces gases and causes the baked product to rise. OTOH, bread starter should not appear moldy or smell rank.

Yes, you can freeze Amish bread. I just ate the last two slices of Amish bread that I baked the first week in January. I put ywo loaves in the freezer about two days after I had baked it. I took it out about a week ago in April, it was just as good as when I first baked it, in fact Amish bread tastes better to me when it has aged. I even freeze the starter. The starter does not freeze completely it just stops the rising action. I had that starter in the freezer for over a year took it out of the freezer and set it on the counter over night and I consider the next day my "first day" of the bread baking process.
Yes, you can use it the next day. A sourdough starter is used to make this bread. Provided that you look after your sourdough starter, feed it, and keep it growing in the conditions it likes, then there is no reason why this one starter can not be used again and again and again. Some people have starters they made themselves, and they are over 15 years old. With a sourdough starter, the flavour can change over time, reflecting the yeasts that are in your home. If your started develops a taste you don't like then you may want to create a new starter. http://www.sourdoughhome.com/startingastarter.html - will give you more information on how to create a sourdough starter.
It is Amish...if it is homemade. But you have to be Amish, or else..you are not Amish. But, homemade. amish.. no its amish if it fails at life ....see 123SHUP.webs.com
If you are Amish you should not use a car.
Love is sacrificial, love is love. If you truly love him, you will do the best for him. Do you want to marry? That's what people in love usually should do. Respect his religion and do not get him in trouble. If you want to marry him maybe you should turn Amish too. You cannot become Amish. He would have to leave the Amish community and live in the "English" community. Being Amish is not like being a Catholic who then joins the Jewish faith of their beloved.
