Bakery Nouveau: Flour types, further information

Bakery Nouveau: Flour types, further information:

So, we have another new flour, this time being an organic, type-65 flour. I’ve mentioned type-85 before (ours has some malted barley added to it), and briefly discussed ash content. Recently though, I came across an article in Baking Buyer magazine discussing this very topic, and I wanted to…

I’m all set now that my solution has been accelerated.

“

“Have been genteely treated and am now going to be drunk. This is the first time.”
November 30, 1775

“All of us got most feloniously drunk.”
January 6, 1776

“Went to bed about two o’clock in the afternoon, stupidly drunk.”
-January 7, 1776

“Spent evening at the Tavern…. A confounded mad frolic.”
-February 19, 1776

“Got most feloniously drunk. This is a bad preface to the new volume of my diary.”
-October 1, 1776

“A very mad frolic this evening. Set the house on fire three times and broke Mr. Dream’s leg… got drunk and committed a number of foolish actions.”
-November 19, 1776

”

- From the journals of Nicholas Cresswell, a British traveler in the North American colonies quoted in And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails

“I thought it might make a great 4th of July post for American Drink since it takes place in 1776, demonstrates America’s extremely drunk heritage, and is kind of hilarious.”

From friend of American Drink, Buzz Anderson.

Have a happy 4th of July, America.

Thu, 01 Jul 2010 07:39:09 -0700

“The Dutch know how to handle maritime emergencies. In the event of an oil spill, The Netherlands government, which owns its own ships and high-tech skimmers, gives an oil company 12 hours to demonstrate it has the spill in hand. If the company shows signs of unpreparedness, the government dispatches its own ships at the oil company’s expense. “If there’s a country that’s experienced with building dikes and managing water, it’s the Netherlands,” says Geert Visser, the Dutch consul general in Houston.”

- Avertible catastrophe

The Dutch (and several other European governments) offered to help out with the BP spill, very early on, with much more expertise than we have, and for free. The government refused, because their system was only 99% effective. I’m not usually a blame-the-government-first type, but that’s fucked up.

“

You’ve said that you’re beyond atheism. What does that mean?

I have trouble believing that other people believe. (Laughs.)

You think they’re lying?

I’m sure they’re not lying. Their belief may be genuine. But it’s like arguing that fairies are coming out of my toaster in the middle of the night. You can’t prove to me that there aren’t fairies in my toaster, but that doesn’t mean you should take me seriously. What I have a problem with is not so much religion or god, but faith. When you say you believe something in your heart and therefore you can act on it, you have completely justified the 9/11 bombers. You have justified Charlie Manson. If it’s true for you, why isn’t it true for them? Why are you different? If you say “I believe there’s an all-powerful force of love in the universe that connects us all, and I have no evidence of that but I believe it in my heart,” then it’s perfectly okay to believe in your heart that Sharon Tate deserves to die. It’s perfectly okay to believe in your heart that you need to fly planes into buildings for Allah.

Guys it’s okay to call football soccer. We’re not the only country that doesn’t call it football. Just call it what you call it and don’t make that big a deal about it.

I like Mexico and RSA so much I want them both to get three points but a draw is fine.

We call it what we call it. More people in this world call them lifts and lorries and petrol and boots and biscuits and so on, but that doesn’t mean we have to lift our linguistic pinky and accede to the socialist foreigners. We’ll beat them at soccer, too.

Bros Ponying Bros:

1. When the song ‘Pony’ by Ginuwine is played for you, you must stop what you’re doing and dance.
2. If you have a phone or mp3 player with the song ‘Pony’ by Ginuwine on it on your person, you can block the ponying, and the original pony-er must then dance.

This is so much more awesome than bros icing bros.

Longform.org's World Cup crib sheet

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 09:36:33 -0700

Longform.org's World Cup crib sheet:

Great single page of text breakdown of all the teams in the Cup, and their schedules.

My favorite part might be the team slogans. They include the slightly incomprehensible but exuberant: “Greece is everywhere!” and Nigeria’s “Super Eagles super fan united we stand”. North Korea keeps expectations reasonable with “1966 again! Victory for DPR of Korea!”, 1966 being the year they reached the quarter-finals. There’s a lot of talk about hopes and dreams and roads and destiny, all very generically Olympian. Serbia (“Play with the heart, lead with a smile!”) and New Zealand (“Kickin’ it Kiwi style”) have the best attitudes. I like to imagine that in their native tongues, each is as cliche-ridden as USA’s “Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Victory!”
