.....but if I'm baking, I do 1/2 and 1/2, because it's easier to get the rise you need without extra stuff added.
I bow to your expertise, madam; I wasn't aware that whole wheat flour is harder to raise than partially whole wheat flour.
That's the first new thing I learned today.
For decent and civilized people to use partially whole wheat flour makes sense, but not in the case of primitives, who are primitives after all. I don't think they use partially whole wheat flour beause it's easier to get a rise, but just because primitives hate things good for them, and fiber of course is good for them.
One day about a month ago, I had to run to the gocery store in town, because I neeeded a loaf of bread. The bread-deliveryman was showing up that day, but hadn't shown yet, and the store was out of the whole wheat bread I usually buy.
As I needed a loaf, I surveyed the bread available, and my eyes immediately latched onto a loaf of name-brand whole wheat bread, advertising TRIPLE FIBER, on "special" from its regular price of $4.29 to 2/$5.00.
So I picked up a loaf of that.
That bread was so good, I'm embarrassed to admit I ate the whole loaf in something less than 24 hours. Damn, it was good, with or without anything on it.
The next day, when sitting at the computer posting here, momentarily the stomach felt as if a clothes-pin was pinching a small part of the inside of the stomach--but it was nothing major, because it was just for a few minutes, and after I had some milk and stuff, it evaporated entirely, and has never returned.
Curious, I checked the plastic bread-wrapped laying on top of the garbage.
The "normal" dose, I suppose, for a fully-grown healthy American male is a diet with 40 mg or 40 g or 40 kg of fiber every day (stupid metric system; just as the primitives have no understanding of the difference between "million," "billion," and "trillion," I never paid much attention, other than that the number is 40).
According to the label, the entire loaf of bread had 1680 mg or g or kg of fiber.
Before anyone thinks ahead of me, I must point out that at no time was there any intestinal distress.
Now, obviously 1680 mg or g or kg (whatever it is) of fiber is a lot of fiber, but it didn't do me any harm. In fact, its benefits were sustantial, because that day and the next couple of days, I got more work done than I usually do, and with a positive, healthy, sparkling, well-adjusted attitude. In fact, I think this healthy attitude betrayed itself in the quality of my postings here those days, my best posting days here ever.
I suspect this is why primitives have fiberphobia; they know it's going to make them feel better, and primitives don't want to feel better; they just want to wallow in misery and wretchedness, so they can complain.
I strongly suggest the warped primitive try that sometime, a whole loaf of that bread, and maybe about a gallon of whole milk during a day. The warped primitive is a nurse, and doesn't like whole wheat stuff and alleges to be "allergic" to dairy products, but the warped primitive being a nurse understands the phenomenon of hypochondria and psychosomatic "ailments," and so it wouldn't hurt her.
If she did that, the warped primitive would find herself happier, more fulfilled, brimming with nothing but good will and good nature towards all in the world; a gift to humanity.
But no, the warped primitive, being a primitive, doesn't want to be happy.
