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.

I had a friend in Germany and I asked him once about beer. I almost died when he said "Eh, I've had American beer and I like it about as much. I'm not really into beer. I know I'm not supposed to say that but I don't see the big difference."

(I can line up Americans who would try to argue him into the ground, let alone Germans... So much for me making culturally-based assumptions though.)

There are a surprising amount of Germans who don't really care about beer all that much... especially the younger generation tends to go alcopop (i.e. cheap lemonade mixed with wodka, rum or similar) a lot.

I wouldn't know the difference between German and American beer if it slapped me in the face... but the thought of putting anything but the aforementioned substances into beer gives me hives.
