My breaducation, let me show you it
Bread wank. I've never been so happy.

bellasmommy posts some step-by-step photos on how to make baguettes. In her description, she mentions using a bit of sugar, as well as an egg wash. There is also a mention of using the microwave to proof the dough, and using scissors rather than a razor to score the loaves.

The finished loaves look lovely, and bellasmommy says, "These loaves are awesome. The outside is lightly crusty, the inside is light and chewy and fluffy." Great, right?

Oh wait. According to schlake, SHE'S DOING IT WRONG. The finished product is obviously not bread, but some demonspawn of yeast and flour.

(Now I want a macro of Senator Vreenak holding a baguette, hissing "It's a FAAAAAAAKE!") (Which, thanks to nam_jai, we now have!

PS. Bonus stock/broth wankery back in December, also courtesy of schlake.

ETA: It's also in domestic_snark, stupid_free, and sf_drama.

Sounds quite familiar. I live in Duesseldorf and when I first went out in Bochum I *severely* misjudged the amount of stuff I drank because I only paid attention to the full bill, not the individual drinks (also, I gulp cocktails like lemonade which is instant fail). Having a long string of alcoholics in my family and hence a liver of steel and concrete saved me from total humiliation, but I still felt kinda woozy.

	That's one of the reasons why I prefer to drink at clubs where you just have to pay when you get your stuff; I can actually somewhat put a stop on my drinking by seeing how much (or little) money I have left. I think we share a liver :D ! But once the booze is a free, it doesn't save me from embarassment anymore. Boo for free booze. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That wasn't even the problem! 20 Euros in Bochum buy you about 1.8 times (<-- bullshit statistic) as much booze as in D'dorf, so the amount of money I had left wouldn't have mattered in any case. Also, the booze has a lot of... volume to spread about in, that helps, too, I suppose (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, I rarely leave town, so I can use that, at least. And when I was in Finland a month ago, prizes were almost the same, so that still worked for me :D Woe is me. Also, ditto. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Well, NRW is kinda... dense, so skipping from town to town is fairly easy. Unfortunately that makes commuting a pain in the ass :( (Reply to this)(Parent)
