Roald Dahl actually has a story ‘Pig’ that’s pretty much this but no golden tickets.

Pronell@lemmy.worldto Bready@lemmy.world•A success after much experimentation: dulse & ale breadEnglish2·6 days agoNice! I’d be interested to know if it makes a marked difference.
Me, I’ve made no knead bread, biscuits, and pizza dough, but have consistently failed at keeping sourdough alive or useful. Just knowledge of the basics really.

Justified’s bank robbery episode comes to mind (s2e6, Blaze of Glory) where it all shakes out that only two old men are left for the final showdown.
Pronell@lemmy.worldto Bready@lemmy.world•A success after much experimentation: dulse & ale breadEnglish2·6 days agoAs someone who has little bread making knowledge, would using a brewing yeast and an alcoholic beer help with the original recipe? Flour content can be modified of course but I’m wondering if a different yeast would perform differently as well.
Pronell@lemmy.worldto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•When you think about it The Sun is actually at the very bottom.14·6 days agoNow that is a good shower thought!
I’m someone who builds up earwax easily, leading to infections.
For the last decade, I’ve been regularly scraping it out with metal spoons. I’m even used to accidentally tapping my ear drum.
Last time I was at my doctors he commented (to the intern in training) that my ear canals are well sloped and naturally clean themselves, and I corrected him. Glad to know he didn’t observe damage I’ve been causing.

Pronell@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Democrats vote against gun control in surprise move57·9 days agoLove a vague headline that tells me nothing about how to think.
Edit: I meant but about how to think, oh well.
Pronell@lemmy.worldto Television@lemm.ee•After ‘Suits’ and ‘Royal Pains,’ It’s ‘Psych’s Turn for a Potential RevivalEnglish2·12 days agoI’d love to see more, but since the cast never got along, I doubt we will ever get more Fringe.
Pronell@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Starbucks admits that cutting staff has backfired and now plans to hire more baristas2·12 days agoThat’s what I was implying, (poorly) that their coffee isn’t half bad, and preferable over Starbucks to me.
But then when I make myself coffee it’s four to six shots of espresso with ice and half and half.
He’s lazy and listing the steps of the task he wants to avoid. That’s it.
Pronell@lemmy.worldtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Starbucks admits that cutting staff has backfired and now plans to hire more baristas11·13 days agoWhen I was becoming a coffee fan/snob a decade ago, I’d occasionally get gifted bags of Starbucks beans. Or worse, grounds. Ugh.
I eventually end up using it but it’s never good. Even my wife agrees now, although she still drinks McDonald’s iced coffee without sugar regularly.
Pronell@lemmy.worldto ..:: tchncs ::..@discuss.tchncs.de•Thank you guys for the advice last post. I found a tech support job now. One step closer to leaving homelessness26·13 days agoI’d rather see your face than the job offer. Well fucking done, dude.
I’m someone who struggled and went bankrupt but not homeless. I put my shit back together with a lot of help, and now I have a wife and mortgage payments… and soon I’ll be unemployed again by choice.
Life is fucking scary but you’ve made one huge leap to overcoming a massive hurdle I never had to clear, homelessness. Fucking props dude.
Pronell@lemmy.worldto Transgender@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Pedro Pascal Calls For Boycott of HBO's Upcoming $2 Billion ‘Harry Potter' Series — World of ReelEnglish132·16 days agothere are estimated to be equal numbers of trans men as trans women, they just don’t get the same attention.
And this is a stunning example of the power of male privilege.

Pronell@lemmy.worldto Dull Men's Club@lemmy.world•I lubricated the hinges of a noisy door9·18 days agoTo back you up, WD40 stands for Water Displacer, 40th try.
While it does kind of lubricate, that isn’t what it’s meant for, and the leftover ingredients will not keep it lubricated long and possibly cause more damage in the long run.
WD40 to help restore motion to the joint, then clean, then oil. Or just oil if it moves easily.

They might think that they’re protecting you, but you’ll need to learn for yourself who is really your friend and who isn’t.
It’s also possible they’re being mean, intentionally or not.
Me, I’m probably only a little autistic. I talk a good game, especially one on one. So when I was back in school, I managed to have one friend from just about every clique. One who took the time to talk to me and realize I was cool and had something going on.
And I treasured that. I knew I wasn’t an unlikeable person, doomed to a lonely life.
So don’t let your current friends gatekeep you from making more. But be careful and don’t let people take advantage of you either. There are mean people and then there are dangerous people.
I only say that on the off chance that your friends know what they mean when they say “You can’t be friends with them.”

Stewed beets are delicious, and beet greens are quite tasty too. A nice addition to any garden.
