| | Loaf of bread, gallon of gas cost me $105 | | 2008-07-02 13:08:22 | | OK, so I'm in a bad mood. Usually when I drive to work, when there are sparrows or crows or whatever in the road pecking at some crumbs, I say, "Watch out, little birds." Today I found myself saying, "Watch out, you stupid birds." At least I didn't try to run them down, although I'm feeling a bit "run over" myself.I write a lot about poverty but I do not, generally, get into the messy details of my own life. To some degree I'm used to being broke. However recent events make a great illustration of how thin the margin for error is getting for so many people these days.Mostly I do OK except when there are unexpected expenses such as a car suddenly needing repair. May and June's version of the unexpected was the sickness of my thirteen year old dog. Some $1,200 later, when it was clear he was suffering and wasn't going to get better, I made an appointment for a Monday to have him put to sleep. I'd used up nearly every penny left over from my previous two paychecks on his illness, | | By: Michaelann Land | | |

| | Bread 101 | | 2008-06-16 08:14:00 | | As I sit here eating my bagel I have to contemplate my love of bread. I do indeed love bread - no question about it. Rye, pumpernickel, Italian, heck I even love Texas Toast. The only kind of bread I don’t love is Whole Grain - exactly the type I should be eating. So I went on a search to see what I can find out about the other types of breads I eat, how healthy they are and what specifically I should be looking for when I grab a loaf off the shelf. There are so many types that it would literally take me hours to list them all, so instead I’ll go with the important varieties.
White and Whole Grain Bread
Whole grain is a basic form but by grinding the grains, adding water and heating it up you get whole grain flatbread. Whole grain bread is similar to flatbread except you add yeast to make it rise. White bread starts out the same way but instead of adding “whole” grain the grain is processed. The hard out | | By: Our Wicked Weighs | | |

The pairing of chocolate and bananas is one of the most reliable ones where baking is concerned, and though bananas were traditionally baked with walnuts or pecans for the classic banana-nut loaf, this new combination has indeed found a place in the hearts and minds of foodies. Chocolate can get really overpowering, especially in baked desserts; but this Chocolate-Banana Bread recipe still focusses on the distinct...

| | Disease-causing genes may be eliminated by bread mold | | 2008-05-08 20:58:42 | | When most people discover mold on their bread, they immediately throw it out. Others see a world of possibilities in the tiny fungus. A University of Missouri scientist, along with a collaborative research team, has examined a new mechanism in the reproductive cycle of a certain species of mold. This mechanism protects the organism from genetic abnormalities by silencing unmatched genes during meiosis (sexual reproduction). The finding could have implications for higher organisms and may lead to precise targeting of unwanted genes, such as those from the HIV virus.

| | Butter to follow the Bread. | | 2008-04-28 14:30:00 | | April 29 ... Butter is the natural corollary to bread. After several - Nay! - Numerous bread stories over the last couple of years, I am finally induced to write about the lovely, pure, vitamin-rich (A and D), all-natural and very tasty yellow grease. Olive Oil may be all very well and equally pure and natural, but you cant make decent pastry and cakes with olive oil. Butter’s only crime is that it is currently politically-nutritionally incorrect. As for its substitute, the awful yellowish grease called m..g….e, – to paraphrase someone whose name escapes me – Who do you trust most, cows or factories? Margarine has been described as being only one step away from plastic, and I for one believe it.

| | Bread and Mutiny. | | 2008-04-27 14:36:00 | | April 28 ... Today is the anniversary in 1789 of the Mutiny on the Bounty. In case you haven’t read the books or seen the movies, the famous incident took place during a voyage whose purpose was to transport breadfruit trees to the West Indies to provide slave food. The mutiny was led by the infamous Fletcher Christian against Captain William Bligh – and was triggered, they say, by Bligh’s allocation of some of the scarce water supply to keep the breadfruit trees alive – or maybe it was the mutineers preference for returning to the temptations of Tahiti. The significance of the breadfruit (which was the subject of a previous story) is revealed in its name. It is, or was, the ‘bread’ – that is, the starchy staple – of the areas where it originated (the Malay peninsula and Pacific Islands) which grow no grain. I do not know the traditions of those places, but would be surprised if the breadfruit is not held to be almost sacred there. In the grain-growing places of t | | By: The Old Foodie | | |

It was really a lot of fun.UPDATE--Well, Isaiah ruined my bread. At some point early on, he turned the oven to "broil". When I discovered it, I tried to do the best I could to finish baking it, but it just didn't turn out right. The crust was very hard and tough. The inside is ok towards the top, but the bottom is hard. I can't believe this! I can't remember any time in the past where anyone has bothered the oven knobs, but he had to pick today to do it!So much for Tuesday Review today. Sorry! | | By: Homekeeping Heart | | |
| | Another Option - Fitness Bread | | 2008-03-06 14:06:00 | | As we grow more and more concerned by the way we look, we start to go to the gym more, to run, to swim, everything that means burning calories. However, not many do the most important thing: keep a diet. Try to eat healthy, with less carbohydrates and fats, sweets and chemicals. And sometimes we do, but…and now comes the “but” part, many, unfortunately do not remove bread from their alimentation.Despite the fact there are some studies that show that bread itself does not lead to putting on weight, many athletes and nutritionists noticed that the white bread (most common type of bread) has negatives effects on the body, and in fact helps fat to settle in. It contains additives, sugar, and salt, all of these being things that are a big NO for anyone, especially one that wants to loose weight, or just keep a diet to be healthier.

Fifteen pages of recipe and I've only baked bread once before. I even went to our country house, cause that's where the good oven is. I calculated that if I started at 2 am the bread would probably finished at around noon and I'll have good light for taking pictures. But, alas, the outside temperature was -7°C, and maintaining proper room temperature using stove was extremely difficult. So, naturally, I had problems with the rises. But bread tasted great, it reminded me of Bosnian somun. After I came back to Belgrade I gave it another try. For the recipe visit this month's hosts Mary and Sara.

| | Bread Milk Car Insurance | | 2008-02-24 12:12:00 | | By: Andrew Bowen With increased competition between supermarkets to gain market share and improve profitability, the range of products on offer is getting ever diverse. Now, the big three chains, Tesco, Sainsbury?s and Asda have caught on to the fact that their brand name can sell just about anything, including of all things, car insurance. Car insurance is one of those very boring expensive products that you loathe having to pay for but have no choice if you want to drive a car on Britain?s roads. Why therefore would supermarkets want to be associated with such a seemingly expensive pain in the pocket? Well it seems that the public think it?s a great idea and are buying it from these stores in their thousands with the belief that it must cheap if the supermarkets are selling it. The strange thing is that the companies behind these deals, who are actually underwriting the risk, are the same companies who have been selling you car insurance for years.

| | Cranberry Bread Pudding | | 2008-01-28 08:45:00 | | Last week, we had some guests over for dinner and Lon bought three baguettes, when we only needed one. This is common Lon behavior but of course, I had to figure out what to do with it. I decided to throw together a simple bread pudding and everyone seemed to love it (4 people finished about 75% of a 9X13 pan) so I'm posting the recipe, which was basically made based on what I had at home at the time.5 eggs1 1/2 cups white sugar2 cups milk2 cup heavy cream1 tablespoon vanilla extract1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon2 (6-8 oz) baguettes, cut into 1 inch cubes1/2 cup dried cranberries1. Whisk eggs, sugar, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and cinnamon together until smooth. Set aside.2. Spray a 9x13 pan with non-stick spray and spread baguette cubes evenly in the pan. Sprinkle the dried cranberries on top.3. Pour the egg/milk mixture on top and press the bread down lightly.4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours. (You can leave it overnight.)5. When you're ready to bake it, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F and take the bread pudding out of the refrigerator while the oven heats up.6. Bake at 300 degrees F for 45 minutes.We served it with caramel sauce and chocolate sauce since we had it left-over from the banana cream pie. | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| | Bread is not Satan | | 2008-01-19 04:51:00 | | One of the most important things that I had to do when I made the leap into vegetarianism (Is that even a word?) was to find a way to supplement my protein. You know, find it without all the animal products. It sounds like a daunting task but in reality, it was simple. 2 words - whole grains. I added in whole grains in every way possible to my diet. Yes, ladies still eating bread. Just eating the good for your bod kind. Here is what the lovely people that put together our beautiful food pyramid have to say about grains:
What foods are in the grain group?
Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, cornmeal, barley or another cereal grain is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal, breakfast cereals, tortillas, and grits are examples of grain products. Grains are divided into 2 subgroups, whole grains and refined grains. (Repeat after me: Whole grains - good, refined grains - bad. )
Whole grains contain the entire grain kernel—the bran, germ, and endosperm. Examples include:
whole-wheat flour
bulgur (cracked wheat)
oatmeal
whole cornmeal
brown rice
Refined grains have been milled, a process that removes the bran and germ. This is done to give grains a finer texture and improve their shelf life, but it also removes dietary fiber, iron, and many B vitamins. Did everyone catch that? Continuing: Things on the list of refined grain products are:
white flour
degermed cornmeal
white bread
white rice
Most refined grains are enriched. This means certain B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folic acid) and iron are added back after processing. Don’t be fooled ladies. Fiber is not added back to refined grains. Check the ingredient list before you make the decision to consume it. Make sure that what you put in your bod is actually going to do you some good. Grains do not always mean that your tushy is going to expand at the site of it. Whole grains are our friend. Protein in the good form. Yep. You can feel free to not loathe the loaf any longer.

| | Funeral Bread. | | 2008-01-15 13:30:00 | | January 16 Once upon a time there were far more traditional foods consumed on particular days. Only Christmas Cake and Easter Eggs remain with fragile certainty. Who has Black Bun at Hogmanay, or Simnel Cake on Mothering Sunday anymore? And our local supermarket – the Twelve Days of Christmas barely over and some folk still tardy with removing the tinsel from the house – has Hot Cross Buns already! What is the traditional food world coming to? Food Things Fall Apart, and I am not happy about it. As for the personal celebrations and milestones, even the white iced wedding cake can no longer be assumed, it has been usurped by chocolate mud cake and pyramids of vegan cupcakes and the like. And does anyone offer Groaning Cake and Groaning Cheese anymore, when the lady of the house has just been safely confined? And at the other end of life, where is the funeral bread? The son of George Browne of England made a fine funeral feast for his father on this day in 1702. The expenses were not insignificant; amongst other costs there was five shillings to the preacher (only one for the doctor), two shillings to the two women “for winding him” (and a whopping nine shillings and fivepence for the 5 ½ yard winding sheet), but only 6 pence for the coffin. Browne Jnr. did not leave a bill of fare for the dinner, but noted the cost of the cheese, beef, bacon, veal, and mutton purchased. The most important and pricey item was the Arval bread at a cost of 16 shillings for ‘16 dozen at 14 to the dozen whole loaves.’ Arval bread was a type of bread provided at funerals, particularly in the North of England. No doubt it was different from region to region, as it is variously described as a ‘particular kind of loaf’, ‘a thin, light and sweet cake’, a ‘funeral loaf spiced with spiced with cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and raisins, and ‘a coarse cake, composed of flour, water, yeast, currants, and some kind of spice; in form round, about eight inches in d | | By: The Old Foodie | | |

Within hours after we picked this vehicle up, we helped a mother and her baby daughter leaving a homeless shelter and move into her own apartment. This happened 2 days before Christmas and was their greatest gift. They were in the shelter over 90 days and she had left an abusive husband. This vehicle is helping clients to get to the soup kitchen, important meetings, health care appointments and allows for transportation in moving people into their own apartments and to transfer furniture to families in need.Dean | | By: The Original 1-800-CHARITY CARS | | |
| | Mixed Berry and White Chocolate Bread Pudding | | 2007-12-29 13:42:49 | | Hope everyone had a great Christmas, and enjoyed it with their friends and family. But the holidays are still on in full swing, and so is the cooking and baking spree. After taking a 3-day well-deserved skiing break, I got back to my oven to make this Mixed Berry and White Chocolate Bread pudding. Lots of desserts and delicacies fall under the "Pudding" umbrella, like gellos, panna cotta, mousse, gooey cakes and more. But the most widely-known form of pudding is the bread pudding. As the name suggests, you make layers of milk or cream-soaked bread and top it with fruits, nuts, chocolate or anything that your heart desires:) freeze it for some hours, then toss it in the oven to make it warm and gooey, and reslish it with your favorite toppings. An exquisite dessert that can range from simple to elaborate and classic. There are tonnes of ways to experiment with this, but here's my version full of berries, raisins, chocolate and bread!I'm not a huge fan of white chocolate, and don't generally use it in my cooking, with white chocolate mocha and white chocolate-macadamia nut cookies being exceptions. Somehow, it feels just right in this pudding recipe. It does help bring out the color and flavor of the mixed berries. But if you want, you can use regular chocolate too.Ingredients1 packet of frozen mixed berries (or strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)1/2 cup golden raisins1 cup granulated sugar1 tbsp lemon juice1 tsp salt1/2 cup shredded white chocolate (you can use regular too)6-7 slices of thick white bread (sweeter kind preferred, don't use sour bread)1 cup whole milkMethodSpray an 8-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray. Line the sprayed pan with plastic wrap, pressing it against the edges and allow some of the wrap to overhang on all sides.In a heavy saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt over medium-low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, The salt and lemon will urge them to give up some of their juice, and that's when you know the | | By: Fun and Food | | |

| | Pumpkin Cranberry Bread | | 2007-11-18 15:40:00 | | Hey, it's Thanksgiving and I love pumpkin cakes, breads, and rolls. I don't like pumpkin pie though. For me, it's the texture. Pumpkin pie is like a wet custard and it's usually ultra sweet as well. For a nice and easy quickbread recipe, try this Pumpkin Cranberry Bread. I didn't have two 9x5 loaf pans so I used one 9x5 loaf pan and one 8x8 square glass baking dish. I removed the 8x8 baking dish from the oven at 40 minutes and the loaf pan at 50 minutes. Both came out the same. Yum.Also, the dough looks strong enough to bake free form to make scones. If you try that, let me know how it comes out! | | By: FoodMayhem | | |

| | Italian Bruschetta - A perfect blend of tomatoes, onions and herbs on garlic-flavored bread! | | 2007-11-14 15:09:23 | | Bruschetta is a traditional Italian appetizer or antipasti, as you see it listed in a menu in an Italian restaurant, and definitely my favorite! I love bruschetta, especially the one that they serve over at the CheeseCake factory. They bake a special bread which is more fluffy, like a pizza base; but the traditional bruschetta is supposed to have a hard italian crusty bread for a base, and is topped with tomatoes, garlic, and basil, in the least. I like my own version though, which also includes onions and parmesan cheese:) So here's my recipe for this tasty snack which is very simple and easy to make, and healthy too! Ooh! I still have the lovely smell of garlic and the tomatoes and herbs in my nose!!Ingredients4 large ripe and juicy tomatoes1 garlic clove, minced1/2 cup onions - chopped finely1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves - chopped1 tbsp dry oregano flakesSalt and freshly ground pepper to taste1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (goat cheese or mozarella tastes great too)1/ | | By: Fun and Food | | |

| | Italian Tomato-Herb Bread with Parmesan Cheese - And An Award! | | 2007-10-16 22:50:20 | | We usually try eating the whole-wheat bread everyday at breakfast, but from the time we've tried the Orowheat Buttermilk bread, it has really left an indelible impression on our taste buds!! The soft and creamy texture combined with the subtle buttermilk flavor has found a place in our eharts. So it was a matter of days before I started scouting the web for a similar recipe. Also, I'm a big fan of italian herbs like rosemary and thyme, and they taste great in a loaf of bread. So I couldn't have been luckier to have found a perfect recipe for Buttermilk-Herb bread (original recipe here). I modified it to add some whole-wheat flour, parmesan cheese and sun-dried tomatoes! Yup, and I'm glad I used these additons for they added a beautiful flavor to the bread. It tasted so good you could eat it just like that!!Ingredients2 envelopes active dry yeast1/2 cup warm water1 1/2 cups warm buttermilk1 egg (optional)2 tablespoons vegetable oil1/2 cup parmesan cheese1/2 cup rosemary leaves/flakes2 tbsp red pepper flakes5 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes (optional)3 cups all-purpose flour2 cups whole-wheat flour1 teaspoon saltMethodIn a large bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water. Let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy. Stir the buttermilk, parmesan cheese, egg, oil, rosemary, red pepper, tomatoes and salt into the yeast mixture. Stir in 2 cups of the flour using a wooden spoon. Add remaining flour 1/2 cup at a time until the dough can be picked up out of the bowl.Knead on a floured surface for 6 to 8 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Try not to add much more flour. Place in a greased bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size. Now divide the dough into two pieces. Form into tight loaves, and place each one into a greased 8x4 inch loaf pan or a deep dish pan. Let it rise until a finger leaves a mark when lightly pressed into the dough. Remember, this is the part which is inducing softness to the bread, so don't try to rush itPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bake loaves for about 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. When finished, the loaves should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. The dough will easily leave the sides of the pan and form a hard crust on the top and bottom of the loaf. Also pass a knife through the loaf to ensure it's been cooked through and through.Cut into thin slices and store in air-tight container. This tastes like heaven when you warm the bread for 6-8 seconds in the microwave and put a dollop of butter or cheese on it!! of course, it serves as excellent bread for your sandwiches too!This bread is on its way to Kochtop to make its mark in the World Bread Day Event!Tip: You can add your choice of herbs to make this bread. I think that the Parmesan cheese and red-pepper flakes give it a unique aroma, and don't event think of skipping rosemary, unless you have a better-tasting fragrant herb for your bread!Please visit the actual blogsite at http://funnfud.blogspot.com

| | Bread and Butter - Part 2 | | 2007-10-12 10:54:00 | | The company I spoke of in my last post is still in business. They have lost many of their employees along with the bread and butter customers. I was one of those employees.Last I heard, that formerly $14,000,000/yr company is now worth only about $6,000,000/yr, and still sinking. All of my old co-workers who I'd built friendships with are no longer there, so I will not know for sure how that company is doing from now on. I only have one small clue... I visit their website about twice a year to see if there have been any changes. So far, there are 3 pages that come up with a 404 error, the starting flash page has some glitches, and there has been nothing added or updated in about 3 years. It's only a small clue, but it's a revealing one.My current company will stop working on large jobs to take care of the little guys. The little guys are the easiest to take care of and negotiate with (not to mention they're fun, the big dogs seem to have lost their sense of humor somewhere along the way). They are usually honest about when they need their work done and whether we really need to stop working on our current job. They are aware of our scheduling issues and aren't terribly demanding of our time unless it's a true emergency.Our big customers came to us because of the referrals from the little guys. We have never gotten a new customer from a big dog.Who do you concentrate on in your business? Who are you more willing to bend over backwards for? Be very careful who you choose to romance in business. Those $50/month customers may be giving you enough referrals to amount to $50,000/mo. That $50,000/mo single customer will go to the cheaper guy in a heartbeat, leaving you hanging and twisting in the wind.

| | Bread and Butter - Part 1 | | 2007-10-10 11:01:00 | | I used to work for a small/mid-sized manufacturing company that made an incredible mistake. The owner bought it when it was only worth $250,000/yr. He built it to a $14,000,000/yr company in only 9 years. It was exciting to work for a company in growth. The atmosphere was one of friendship and fun. All the employees knew each other, we liked each other, we worked as a team, we spent time with each other after work, we were proud to work for this company. And all of us liked and respected the owner, my direct boss (note: past tense). He was the first boss I'd ever had who I truly liked.This atmosphere of friendship and respect extended to our customers as well. We knew our customers by first name. Many of us built friendships with our customers. We invited our customers to barbeques, pot lucks, and weekend sports bar hopping.We suddenly started seeing big pretty carrots placed in front of our faces. We had three very large companies make wild claims about how much product they were going to buy from us.The first of these big dog companies started to buy products. They bought no more than $10,000 a month and only averaged about $7,000. This only lasted 8 months before they disappeared completely. Their promise of $8,000,000/yr never materialized.The second and third of these big dogs never bought even one unit. They spent months on prototypes (nonchargeable), retooling, branding and tweaking everything in sight. But not even one finished product went out the door to be delivered to them.While these diamond encrusted carrots were being dangled in the face of the owner, he decided to put a minimum limit on all orders. Our friendly customers who only bought a few units a months were essentially told they weren't good enough for us. Even the customers who bought a fairly substantial amount of units were told it wasn't good enough.After all, we were tooling up for mass quantities.
