Genetics and Your Love for Bread
Have you ever wondered why it’s so difficult to cut back on carbohydrates in your diet? Why do bread and pasta seem so irresistible? The answer might lie deep in our genes and the history of human evolution, which began more than 800,000 years ago. Recent studies suggest that our ability to digest starch, a key component of carbohydrate-rich foods like bread, emerged long before modern…

Just thinking about bread (rice and maize too) and it's historical importance, it's role as a benchmark for the formation of societies. Then using bread as a metaphor and cultural unifier from the last supper, industrial bread factories, anti-carb and bread diet culture, the "omg I love pizza/bread/carbs lol yaay" (and its memification), bread being a binder for meals made of multiple elements, the sandwich throughout history and the feminisation and association with laziness, lower class, and idiocy. Bread was made for the first time 9100 year ago!!

The World's Oldest Leavened Bread Discovered
Perhaps the most significant beginning-of-the-year revelation is the shattering of the myth that the first bread was leavened in Egypt. Researchers at Necmettin Erbakan University (Konya, Turkey) have unearthed an 8,600-year-old “bread.” The discovery was made near a structure identified as an oven at the archaeological site of Çatalhöyük. The spongy residues, evaluated as leavened bread,…

explaining modern brand names to a Victorian
me: so just like. a word, usually.
Victorian: a word related to the product, or-
me: no just a random word
Victorian: huh. because I'd have thought
me: yeah
Victorian: a word related to the product's alleged best qualities
me: no no it's just any word really. the founder might have some reason behind it, but it only makes sense to them most of the time
Victorian: interesting
me:
Victorian:
Victorian: but definitely misspelled right
me: oh EXTREMELY misspelled

November 17th is National Homemade Bread Day, a day dedicated to baking bread at home. Well, since we have a large bread advertisement, we thought this cut would suffice!
For today, Jared letterpress printed a large electrotype of an advertisement for the Old Home Bread Company. This cut is from 1936, based on the print, and it is one of the largest cuts we have in our print shop exhibit. This was likely used to print a double sided sign for grocery stores. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press, which was made in 1852.

I have this wild idea for a story that one day I will write in full. There is this magical mansion that randomly transports people from the past to the present, it's located in England and only transports people on UK soil (for ease of the history). People thought it was haunted because random people would be screaming in Old English or Pictish and then disappear. Some people are there for minutes, some get stuck permanently.
This girl wanders in and realizes that she can send people back, usually by serving them food from their era and talking about their lives. So she now has a government job as a food historian/time travel expert and she tries to send everyone back. Those who are stuck contribute to historical research. She bakes authentic period breads and makes old recipes she learns from travellers.
One traveller has been there forever, he's a queer (it's taken a while for him to accept this) knight from the 14th century. He constantly fights with the food historian because he thinks that Wonder Bread is the pinnacle of human achievement. He eats it for every meal. He's a huge influencer online (people get him to try modern stuff) and he's sponsored by Wonder Bread. He thinks that this modern sourdough nonsense is setting food back 100 years. He is terrified of finally being transported back because he'll never get cake-like white bread again.
And then the food historian falls in love with a new traveller, maybe it will be a tragic love story, but mostly I think about the sassy bread battles.

Bread had origins as an early construction material, ancient civilisations creating bricks and mortar out of a flour and water paste resembling modern doughs and allowing it to bake and harden in the hot sun.

i want to say first of all that i fully respect a community's/denomination's/culture's right to have closed practices. i am not entitled to other people's traditions, and when i am a guest in a space i understand that everything is not automatically for me. and i know i do not have to understand to respect.
and also! when i go to a catholic church and can't receive communion i want to fall on the floor weeping. what do you mean i can't have him he's right there. sorry my baptism was the wrong kind of baptism. i'm hungry and you want me to become someone else before being fed.
