Random Humorous Things - A Light-Hearted Thread
RE: Random Humorous Things - A Light-Hearted Thread

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Ahhhh.  For the want of a single "-"....between "hand" and "job", of course!
Disappointing theists since 1968!

When I was growing up, you could buy half a loaf (unsliced) from the baker. It cost half as much as full loaf.

Locally today, you can still buy half a loaf (still unsliced) from the artisan baker. He boasts that he uses a wood oven. They don't call them half a loaf and they cost about 50% more than a sliced supermarket loaf.

When did most bread convenient to buy become barely suitable for human consumption? First, they removed the wheat germ--------and so it went.

First they came for wheat germ, but I didn't eat wheat germ and so I remained silent....

And when they came for the pumpernickel, there was no one left to speak up for me...

 Bloody right.

Can't buy proper pumpernickle where I live. Good heavy rye is available from that same artisan bakery. His white Italian style is terrific. Doesn't do French bread, but baguettes are easy enough to make at home. Have never tried making croissants, too hard. Can't get proper croissants anywhere near here. The supermarket one's simply don't use butter

Right enough - if it doesn’t have butter, it ain’t a flaky pastry.

Absolutely!  This year I finally learned how to make flaky pastry. Takes a lot of butter. Not margarine and not fucking oil.  I have always wanted to be able to make proper flaky pastry for my pasties. I make killer pasties. They even taste OK using supermarket puff pastry.

I'm sure they're tasty, but pasties should be made with shortcrust - not flaky - pastry.
