I freeze bread too sometimes, but I don’t buy it frozen. Maybe there’s some passage in the Bible that explains Ezekiel bread. There also used to be another frozen brand called Bible Bread - I haven’t seen it recently.
Apparently there’s actually some sort of recipe in Ezekiel.
I doubt whether that’s actually a great guideline for proper nutrition; but it’s good bread.
I’ve been watching a lot of movies on TCM lately – mostly 30s and 40s – and I’ve seen that siphon coffee maker in three of them.
I’ve lucid dreamt since I was a kid. I used to have a lot of nightmares where I was falling. I was thinking one day that I never hit the ground…I always woke up first. So, if I knew a nightmare was coming, I’d conjure up a high place (skyscraper or mountain or something), and then I’d jump. I would always wake up.
Once I was in a boring dream, and my younger sister was with me, and I wondered if I jumped off a cliff (we were in desert like mountains) and pulled my sister with me, would she wake up, too.
She didn’t.
As for frozen bread, La Brea Bakery has half-baked, frozen baguettes you can get at the market. You either finish off the baking when you get home or save it in the freezer for later. It’s much more like home-baked that way.
I think the stuff just doesn’t keep terribly well. It’s made with partially sprouted grain or something. I’m now intrigued, and would like to try it. Maybe it has fewer preservatives and tastes more like home made bread. It wouldn’t be any more complicated for us to buy that than any other sandwich bread that we plan to throw in the freezer.
(I don’t “freeze bread sometimes”. When I buy sandwich bread I take it out of the grocery bag and put it in the freezer, in the place where we keep a loaf of bread. When we are down to a couple of slices, we’ll buy a new loaf. That’s the “bread box”.)
Just for the record, hip-retro people (not saying hipsters, but not saying not either) still do siphon coffee - even Starbucks does it.
Well, at least at some of their Starbucks Reserve locations. I’ve had it at the Austin location, and to be honest, was doing it for the fun factor with friends and personally couldn’t taste the difference.
I’ve never bought a frozen loaf of bread, but when I was in my 20s I used to buy bags of frozen biscuits and dinner rolls. I think they were from Pillsbury. They were convenient if I wanted a biscuit with my dinner; I could just pull a biscuit or two out of the bag and pop them in the oven, without having to bake an entire batch like you do with the refrigerated cans of dough.
Yes, Ezekiel Bread can spoil more quickly than I eat a loaf at a slice or two a week. Same for the gluten-free bread my lovely wife eats.
I had a lucid dream a few months ago. In it I was being chased by people who were trying to stab me. I realized it was a dream and yelled at myself to wake up. Which I did. It made me wonder how my mind could be of, well, two minds. One part was creating the dream and another part didn’t like it and told me to wake up. It would seem to make more sense for my mind to just change the dream instead of kind of arguing with itself about it. But it’s the mysterious mind so who knows.
“One” by Alanis Morisette, of course.
You want me to assume that I’m male and that I’m insulted by being called “mom”? Yeah, fighting that hypothetical.
That one needed a GenX entry - “Fuck 'em. Whatever.”
The first thing that popped into my head was “clean your room!“ There’s about an 80% chance I would’ve blurted that out.
The last time someone in a group of young guys yelled an insult at me, I shouted back, “Do you go down on your mom with that mouth?”
I think they were a bit taken aback, no return insults.
I love Johnny Cash’s cover of U2’s One. It’s not quite Hurt, but it’s still great.
I don’t get the concern for the dog. The dog wasn’t insulted.
Maybe he was. Then you’d have no choice but to ask for an apology.
Mayo and Miracle Whip both have their place. In fact, I use both as ingredients in my tartar sauce recipe. The mayo has to be Duke’s, or in a pinch Blue Plate.
Nobody asked, but I don’t care for tartar sauce either.
I like that seasoned mayo they use for fries in Germany, and I guess mayo is okay in some salads, but I don’t actively seek it out.
Hahaha. Yes, I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old.
