Oh my.

The predicaments primitives get themselves into.

I was sure I had killed the yeast.

I was making bread dough this morning and the dough was just sitting there in a lump and didn't look like bread dough at all--looked like pie crust or cookie dough. This was the kind of recipe where you mix the yeast into the flour dry and then add the liquid last. I thought it must have been too hot, although the thermometer said 105 degrees. So what did I do but mix up some more yeast with warm water and add it along with some more flour.

I just checked it--that baby is growing fast!! I hope this doesn't turn out like a scene from "The Blob". Double your yeast and you're in for an interesting time! At this rate I'll be putting it in the oven very soon.

1. Always give that unpromising lump of dough ample time to rise before you try to double the yeast.

The only funnier mistake is doubling the yeast at high altitude. It turns into an "I Love Lucy" episode real fast.

Too bad the unfrocked warped primitive wasn't watching old television sitcoms when she got into the controlled substances cabinet at the hospital.

What else was she expecting it to do?

I have to admit, my first thought was 'What has yeast ever done to her, besides making her crotch smell bad and spew foam like an Air Force firetruck?'
