Apropos of nothing…
I ‘m watching a TV series from the 80’s.
The family is sitting in the kitchen, eating sandwiches.
I have a sandwich in front of me as I watch.
What caught my eye? Bread was freakin’ HUGE back then.
I’m looking at my sandwich, thinking “WTF???”
I remember when I was in school the old pull-handle vending
machines selling candy bars for a nickel that were bigger
than the “extra-large” ones they sell at gas stations these
days, Hell I used to walk 1/4 mile to a station close by me
they sold 10oz bottles of soda for a dime! The thing with
bread is they add more yeast to it making it LOOK bigger,
then after it’s sold it shrinks. I’ve noticed that as well.
I told my wife that we are getting a bread machine and a good
recipe for home-made bread. It tastes better and is far healthier
than anything they sell at the store… Plus after the first
kneading you add a tsp of cooking oil and blend it in, it slows
the drying out process. I use extra virgin olive oil, far less
HDL, plus it lets me joke that it’s the only virgin this old
man will ever get! (cue the unified eye roll and soft groans) 😛
Einkorn, first wheat.! used before recorded time..
domesticated around 10 to 30 thousand years ago
did you know.. (rumor) back in the 1800’s Elkhorn
Ne. got it’s ‘merican’ name from German mis-
pronounced Einkorn (they were growing it for
the breweries)

I don’t know where you would find it,
but somewhere I read (to the effect) that
people are getting celiac because modern wheat
grain has been so crossbred that it has double the
genes of the ancient purebred grains.
I don’t know if any medical studies have been done
to show if einkorn is safe for people with celiac.
But it might be something to look into.
Not to bust your bubble, but I don’t think the evolvement of wheat
has changed the point that those ‘weeds’ has gluten in them and if
I’m not mistaken, that’s what people with celiac problems trigger on…
An attempts to translate the Danish name for it: gluten intolerance
Jan, your translation from Danish is perfect. Apparently there
are multiple conditions arising from a sensitivity to gluten.
One is celiac disease which is an autoimmune disease but there
is also non-celiac gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy. Note,
I am no expert I just found this out researching gluten
intolerance. The only form of gluten intolerance I knew of was
celiac disease. Surprised to learn there are forms of gluten
intolerance.
Celiac Disease is gluten intolerance that specifically attacks
the small intestines. Other iterations of gluten intolerance
that target other areas of the body don’t get their own names.
My older brother thinks he just has GI, but not CD (sorry, not
gonna keep writing them out). The fact that it affects his
digestion leads me to think he’s wrong, but he hasn’t been
tested. My wife and I both have the genetics for both CD and
generic GI, so we at least don’t have to eat different diets.
Scars – We used to have one of those “add all the ingredients
and we’ll mix it and bake it in one go” bread machines.
The biggest problem, nay, the only problem with it, was the
bread was so good fresh and hot that the loaf rarely made
it down to room temperature before it was gone.
Heh, we had one before too (before the heater in it burned out)
and yes, they gather around while you’re gently working the
loaf out of the machine! They do sell ready-to-go mixes but
I want to make my own ingredients, healthier that way, and
about 1/4 of the “required” sugar!
We had to be careful not to use it too often. I blimp out
too easily. But then, Celiac disease for both of us diagnosed
fourteen years ago, plus diabetes for my wife, pretty much
sent that maker to Goodwill. Even using gluten free flours,
she can’t have it, and I really don’t need it. We’ll buy a GF
loaf once or twice a year, and that’s adequate.
Funny. We seldom eat bread. So we just buy a little half-size loaf. The
previous loaf I had bought had been sitting on the shelf for a while and
I was worried it might have gotten hard. Nope! Still nice and soft and
no mold. I don’t know what they’re putting in it but that stuff stays
edible a LONG time! Which is good since we need it to do so.
I recently got a continuous glucose meter, it’s a sensor that I
install on my arm and it gives me constant updates on my sugar
level. Anyway I’ve been using it to tract down my trigger foods
for high sugar levels, popcorn is an ok snack, bread and pasta
is a bad one, so I’ve cut waaaay back on it myself. But since I
have to cook for non-diabetics, I have to think of things for
their needs as well. Store bread adds sugar, I won’t.
It sounds like they were expecting the community to be like
most areas, struggling to survive and barely managing to
eat, much less thrive. Instead it’s a mini-Jerico, just needs
help to expand and grow, and maybe back-up in case of raiders.
Plus Gopi will get better and find a place in the Empire that
staying where she was could never provide.
Teresa loosen up! I never ran an obstacle course with a stiff back
and short steps. I get that it’s not a real issue for her since she’s
not a recruit, but look the part my dear.
My sensei was a real ball-buster, if you did it wrong or fell he’s
whack you with across the back of your thighs with this 6ft long
bamboo stick he’d carry. Trust me, it’s a hell of a motivator! I’m
glad I didn’t grow up in Korea, they DON’T mess around!
Well, I got to admit, an Empire where a drill Sergeant can yell at
the ruling official of the Empire while said official is training
at said boot camp, without fear of repercussions, is probably a
fairly healthy Empire, politically…
I’m sure Teresa made sure they all knew not to act any different
than they would if she was an actual recruit, it has the added
benefit that it proves she’s not one of those
“holier than tho” types…
Also, there’s razzing, and then there’s razzing. What was said
to Teresa was along the lines of “hurry it up”. It wasn’t poking
fun at something that she couldn’t change. Like Samuel used
to get back in the recovery of Kiedra’s head starting at episode
1063. It’s why he didn’t get along with most people.
Well, Sgt. Birov did tell them to
treat their guests like any other Marine.
Ahhhh, the obstacle course…..
Such fun (NOT)
Yet, what I wouldn’t give to be
able to run it one more time….

It was television bread. Subliminal messaging
– you need to go buy more bread
– yours is inadequate.

I was recently introduced to einkorn bread.
Tastes great, easy to make, and healthy
einkorn is an ‘ancient grain’
I’ve heard of that, I might look into it,
recipes should be online somewhere…

One of my favorite bread recipes is Sally Lund.
