Completely off topic for this blog but i tweeked a recipe in my bread machine manual and it resulted in the best bread i ever made and it ranks among the best i've ever eaten. Anyone want the ingredients list?

@jaune-chat took me up on the offer so here it is:

  • 2 1/4 cups + 2 tbsp of whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 cup of bread flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp + 1 1/2 tsp) dry milk
  • A few generous shakes of ground corriander seed
  • About 1 tbsp (maybe more, maybe less) dried rosemary
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tbsp molasses
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp warm water until gelatinous and somewhat frothy (this was the egg replacement i used, i'd imagine it would do just fine with 1 large egg)
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast + pinch of ground ginger (helps activate the yeast even more than just sugar, though i haven't tried without it so i don't have a control to compare it to)

The bread machine simplifies everything to "dump in all wet ingredients +butter, then all dry ingredients, level, make a well for the yeast, select whole wheat setting, and press start" so i don't know for sure how to make it by hand. I'd suggest try using the meathod from your favorite whole wheat bread recipe but with the ingredients listed above.

Baking this will also make your kitchen smell incredible, just like with any bread recipe

It's a het ship to YOU. To ME, they are both incredibly bisexual.

big big big fan of found family relationships with shithead sibling dynamics

sure, yeah, they had no one in the world until they found each other, and they will fight tooth and nail for each other's safety, but they will also eat the last of the other's cereal and put the box back in the cabinet or tell the other's significant other every embarrassing story about them or greet each other by means of full body tackle and chokehold

Fun fact! Having a job every day is actually a fairly new thing.

In olden times, people had daily chores and other things to do but their workload/ daily working hours was actually much lower than it is today. Even in farming communities.

The concept of working super hard every day actually comes from capitalism, which in turn comes from Puritanical ideology.

The Puritans believed in salvation through work and in no play.

Early capitalists adopted this ideology because it meant higher productivity and therefore more money if their factories were running near constantly.

The idea of needing to be continuously productive in order to be useful/ allowed things like food and shelter, is actually quite an insidious ideal that is deeply rooted in the American culture.

4 day work weeks have actually proven to be more productive than the 5 day week. But corporations won't adopt it willingly because it means less of a stranglehold on their workers.
