Yeah, when I was in Italy, the bread was more bread-y. The professor I was studying under told me to avoid bread in Florence because, "they don't make it with any sugar." You people talking about Big Corn are missing number 3. HFCS and Ethanol are two, but the third is for livestock farming. Lots of corn goes into that, too. Gotta use up the 273,832,130 tonnes (273.832.130.000 kilograms) of corn we made on something. Lifehack don't support corn-sumerism unless it's for whiskey.

Solar cookers are easy to make and do work, but it takes HOURS for something to cook. Some friends made one when we attended this small science and math club, they tried to cook an egg. Four hours and the egg was still raw,just slightly cooked. Edit; If you guys live near a bakery that sells Mexican styled bread, try see if they sell bolillos(or pan frances), those have very little sugar and it's practically water,salt,flour and leavening.

The five dollar thing is just a variation of your typical saving money method when it isn't that easy. Every time you swear, a dollar in the jar. Only use a card and any cash you get you save. Take ten dollars out of every paycheck and put it in a savings account. Eventually you just forget about the ten dollars being taken out and think of it as like taxes and poo poo. Way back when, when I actually had a girlfriend we had a put a dollar in the box whenever we have sex thing going. The whole point is that saving money can actually be kind of easy when you put it somewhere you don't spend and keep adding to it.

Wtf is it with you guys and sweet bread. I can understand in some recipes the use of sugar to speed up the fermentation of the yeast, but what possible reason is there to take out the sugar and replace it with a similar sweetening substitute?? Your challenge: find me some supermarket American bread that doesn't have sugar, HFCS or a sweetening agent in it. Ewan has a new favorite as of 15:51 on Aug 3, 2014 |

Ewan posted:Wtf is it with you guys and sweet bread. I can understand in some recipes the use of sugar to speed up the fermentation of the yeast, but what possible reason is there to take out the sugar and replace it with a similar sweetening substitute?? The corn industry is one of our largest agricultural industries in the US. HFCS is used so often instead of sugar in our food because it's cheaper to procure. It's in mundane poo poo like bread (which normally wouldn't be sweetened) because of how insidious industries will be in order to find yet another vendor to peddle their wares to. So it goes like thus: Corn industry: "Hey [company that makes product that isn't currently sweetened], did you know that if you make your food sweeter, you'll sell more? We swear, really. Buy our HFCS and try it!" It works, Americans develop a cultural addiction to sweets and sugar, diabetes everywhere. HOORAY!

I mean wtf, even American bread recipes have sugar or honey in them - what is wrong with you people. Just make your bread like everyone else in the world does. Actually, plenty of bread recipes are like that, American or otherwise. Notice how the sugar is always mixed into liquid + the yeast early on? It's because sugar feeds the yeast, making it puffier and encouraging a better rise. When only a few tablespoons are used, like in those recipes, the yeast eats most of the sugar during the rise and there's not a ton left in the final product.

Also, paint your toenails inside like a civilized person, not outside in freezing weather like a loving maniac. If your house isn't heated you have bigger problems than not being able to comfortably paint your toenails.

I think it might be for when you go out to get the mail or go to the bank, e.x. important adult stuff. The idea being that they can dry while you do things. However, why wouldn't you just wait till like a Thursday evening to do it proper and inside without having to worry about having to do other things?
