My Sunday has been very “eh” so far. I had brunch, which was tasty. The weather is nice so I tried to do some version of gardening but the Home Depot had a very motly collection of plants so I really couldn’t find some nice plants to pot. I did re-pot my orchid, which was leaning at a huge angle, so much that the roots were coming out of the soil.
Spiff has spent his Sunday playing this game. I can’t figure out how he does it. He starts on one web page, then ends up at another one, a complete opposite of the site he started at. Now he’s reading a blog about the game he was playing.
Oh, he also went to Mike’s place last night and decided that now we need an LCD TV. I’ve been saying that for years. I suppose when a guy is listening to another guy he hears good advice and when he listens to a girl he hears nagging. Men!
Chris says: Of course. Every culture knows how to make bread.
Sam says: No, they have nothing out there.
In Ethiopia and Eritrea, this spongy, sour flatbread is used to scoop up meat and vegetable stews. Injera also lines the tray on which the stews are served, soaking up their juices as the meal progresses. When this edible tablecloth is eaten, the meal is officially over.
Injera is made with teff, a tiny, round grain that flourishes in the highlands of Ethiopia. While teff is very nutritious, it contains practically no gluten. This makes teff ill-suited for making raised bread, however injera still takes advantage of the special properties of yeast. A short period of fermentation gives it an airy, bubbly texture, and also a slightly sour taste.
Of course, this mentions that this grain exists in the highlands, not the desert. I wasn’t able to find a concrete answer, but my conclusions is that they can make bread. It’s just not bread as Westerners would know it.
Chris says: Absolutely. You know, those nuclear tests they had out in the desert turned the sand into glass.
Sam says: Whoa whoa WHOA. You’re trying to tell me that lightening has as much force as a nuke!?
fulgurites. I’d like to say I said yes to this as well, but I didn’t have any evidence except that’s how Josh Lucas’s character in Sweet Home Alabama made his money (and was able to win back Reese Witherspoon). HAHAH. I watched that movie on the plane; I can’t believe I remembered it.
Sam says: You are a Democrat with a military fallacy.
Chris says: Sam, you are a fairy … or a wuss.
Chris says: Mile(s).
Sam says: That’s bullshit.
