“A GROUP OF aging Brooklyn bikers — who earned patches for attacks on police — were busted Tuesday for peddling a deadly arsenal of weapons, including a cast iron cannon. Undercover officers bought the old-time artillery for $2,000, along with 41 firearms and thousands of rounds of ammunition, from the leather-clad biker goons during a two-year investigation that began October 2010.”

Whole Wheat Bread Recipe 1932

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 08:24:20 -0400

This is from my grandmother’s 1932 Joy of Cooking cookbook. It is not in recent versions of the book. I used to bake and sell this bread.

WHOLE-WHEAT BREAD

1932 Joy Of Cooking (edit)

Makes 2 loaves

Combine:

6 cups whole-wheat flour

¾ cup sugar

1 ½ tsp. salt

Heat until lukewarm:

3 cups water

Dissolve in ½ cupful of this:

1 cake/packet yeast

Add it to the remaining water. Stir in the dry ingredients

until the dough is well-blended. Put it in a bowl covered

with a cloth in a warm place until it has more than doubled

in bulk (about 1 ½ hours). Place it in two 5 x 10 inch bread

pans. Permit it to rise until it has more than doubled in bulk.

Bake it in a hot oven (400 degrees) for 15 minutes, then reduce

the heat to 350 degrees and continue baking until done (about

45 minutes or 1 hour total). [oven rack in middle of oven]

I tap on the top of the loaves, and if there is a hollow sound

I know the bread is done. Also, I often have a pan of water on

the lower rack in the oven when the bread is baking. And, I

use damp paper towels for the cover when the bread is rising

both in the bowl and in the bread pans. I use the standard

Pyrex glass pans. This recipe assumes a gas stove, so make

the first batch as a test if you have an electric range.

Beyond the Logo: Starbucks and Lomo!

Wed, 30 May 2012 07:55:14 -0400

We all know that Starbucks has pretty much conquered the consumerist world. However, since my friends and I spend so much time at Starbucks, I have taken many of my Lomography photos there - so it’s a place near and dear to my heart. This article will be a short survey of the various cafes my friends and I frequent around Oahu.
