primitives paying attention to franksolich without mentioning his name

Okay.

Earlier today, I posted a campfire taken from Skins's island, "primitives bake bread," and took the tushie primitive to task for not figuring out how to use non-bread-loaf pans for making shorter loaves of bread.

The tushie primitive apparently thinks something must be called "bread loaf" pan to work for bread, when in fact just about any oven glassware pan would work just as well.

It's like the primitives think they need to have both cookie sheets and pizza pans, to make cookies and pizza.....when in fact only one (it doesn't make any difference which one) of these is necessary, for both pizza and cookies.

Anyway, the tushie primitive:

So I wrote to King Arthur Flour and I asked "Are there full sized loaf pans that are half as long?"

and I got back this... (I love these guys!)

"Dear Fellow Baker,

Thank you for writing. No we do not have any full size pans that are half as long. But look at the technique used in this blog. You may be able to use it-basically baking two loaves in one pan. you can then freeze half.

I hope this information will be helpful. Please email again if we can be of further assistance.

Happy Baking,

1. That looks really good, tesha!

The loaf pans I have are 9 x 5 inches long. Way too long. I've been meaning to pick up a couple of 8 x4's. Even an inch makes so much difference.

Now franksolich has another question.

WHAT DIFFERENCE does it make, if a loaf is 8" long or 4" long or 22" long?

It's only bread, after all.

Tesha's OP is a perfect example of why it is better to remain silent, and let people think you a fool, than to speak, and remove all doubts....

King Arthur sells overpriced, prissy junk.  They do have some items that you can't really find in your average grocery store, but not many.  It's a Sky Mall catalog for the kitchen set.

So King Arthur accepts food stamps.

It must just not be politically correct to bake bread in a cake pan. Surprising though, as so many of them, in their personal lives, try to fit square pegs into round holes all the time.

For a group of people who pride themselves on thinking outside the box, they don't seem to do it very often.

Are you kidding?

Surely you are kidding, sir.

The primitives are incapable of thinking outside of little boxes.

[Chris]

No, but it doesn't stop them from patting themselves on the back and telling each other that.  That's how br0bama was described at the DUmp before he was elected.  Every liberal will tell you how special they are, that they all think outside the box.  I don't think they have any idea what that term means.

I just devised a new rule, this one also engraved in granite.

The First Rule of Observing the Primitives is: DUmmies lie; all the time, DUmmies lie.

And now we have this:

The Second Rule of Observing the Primitives is: if the DUmmies claim to be something, they're not.

That is pretty much rephrasing the first rule. But sometimes these things need reinforced.

It kind of does, and as when I devised the First Rule, over time better wording will evolve.

The emphasis of the First Rule is that when the DUmmies allege something happened, or they know someone, or they did something, they lied.

The emphasis of the Second Rule is that when the DUmmies allege to be something (kind, tolerant, caring, consistent, bright, &c., &c., &c.), they're actually the opposite of that which they claim to be.

Morons in the mirror are nothing as they wish to appear.

Well, I was going to suggest to the DUmmie that instead of cooking two half loaves of bread just cook one and cut it in half......but knowing DUmmies, they shouldn't be allowed around sharp objects.

But what if the primitives have a bunch of knives in the drawer, but not one of them is called a "bread cutting knife."

What are the primitives to do then?

Unless a knife's called a "bread cutting knife," despite that drawerful of knives, if a primitive doesn't have one, then the primitive has to gnaw on the bread with the teeth, Soviet style.

DUmmie better start cooking then because when Obamadentalcare kicks in DUmmie will  have to gum it.
