I may have found another Christmas present for my mom at a popular bookstore.

However, I didn't have enough money to pay for it, so I'll go back in the coming days.

My mum doesn't want me buying presents for the grownups in the family. She only wants me to get something for my niece. That's how bloody poor my family is. If my dad didn't drink, we would be rich. One of these years, I'm going to win the lottery and I'll shower everyone in my family with presents.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I was going to post the Pure Wick parody, but I don't want to get myself in trouble. I also wouldn't like it if someone posted a parody about my condition.

Trying to maintain a healthy diet and getting more exercise has been very slow.

I wish I had something to get high off of. I guess that vitamin C powder will do the trick.

On the other hand, a stein of tea would be a better idea. Anything to do with Germany makes me happy.

A meeting with a genetics counselor earlier today was supposed to be one hour.

It lasted for only about 45 minutes.

I will receive a DNA testing kit within the coming days, but results won't be revealed
until the end of January or the beginning of February.

Bread so hard it breaks stones!!
Like why? I mean, sure there are people with enough calcium and jaw strength to pull if off, but come on!

Then it reminds me of a saying about, in translation; "If someone threw a stone at you, you throw bread back at them." :D
In which in cases of baking so badly failed bread that can beeak stones makes so, so, so much sense now!
And then people wonder why I'm not applying it to real life?? Of course I do! Do they expect me to throw plasticine back at them??? Pff!!

Back to the topic. So what made a bread so hard that it can break stones? Something about starches and cooling, not having enough water or baking too much.

Baking too much, eh? Like how one would overcook a bread? I like slightly overcooked bread for a reason and I don't care about the carcinogens in it.
I like the bitter taste! But that doesn't explain bread that seems so clearly not looking closer to resembling charcoal but is just as hard and definitely not as brittle. Charcoal looking bread sure hardens faster, but it's actually brittle; not hard enough to break stones!! !

Not putting it enough water is fair. I mean sure; in favor of not making the dough too sticky -- kinda reminds me of my several attemps at baking, which kinda sucked despite that I really tried several different ratios of water to flour and still just couldn't work out! I really could figure it out! And in the end, at least, I didn't get harder than stone bread, but I got bread that can still be eaten but wouldn't like.

But I can truly see it's not just lacking the water, but also having too much flour. Something about how gluten works -- kinda makes sense. Not that I have extensive knowledge or experience in the matter, but I had a little stint with playing with flour and ending up with harden gluten that can be make into a paste.
But even so, paste alone is brittle. Does not fully explain how there can be a bread so hard it can outhard bricks.

Density then? Not kneeding enough. Which is quite fair, even in my case; I don't actually like kneeding because I kept failing at the water to flour ratio. I don't like continuous handling sticky. I tried waiting it for it to be seemingly firm and shapeable, and that hadn't happened! Not that I'm giving up so soon but still frustrating.
As for brick breaking bread; does this mean those who pulled it off skipped kneeding altogether?

Then there's crappy yeast and proofing.
Which I hadn't able to understand well. Watching a dough rise sometimes fascinates me, that I'm tempted to have a sourdough for a pet; but knowing my household and my habits, I don't think I'm ready for that yet.
So again, to have a brick breaking bread meant skipping this altogether?

And thus... Brick breaking bread isn't truly bread, but some sort of glutten brick that was shaped at an appearance of a bread?
Why hasn't been turned into building technology yet? Other than it's possibly scarce and people needed to eat more than build.
I wonder if I can make something harder than a brick, make a project out of ot as if it's some glorified paper machete art?

I really, really am tempted to just... Waste more flour, really, beyond than just culinary if I'm still unable to make the bread of my dreams from scratch.

Hey, is yapping this very very long an info dumping special interest? :D

Actually, no. :roll:
Nothing about this is info dumping.
Just yapping. And nothing about this is even a special interest.

I can practically yap about many many things without making it about an info of a thing, let alone an interest of any sort.

:roll: This isn't even true verbosity, this is more like a compensatory strategy for my own primary language processing issue VS whatever meaning making I'm trying to grasp and process and that the language itself doesn't help.

I can even make it all about the particular quote than the topic itself; like what time I was doing the post, why I posted that quote, etc.
None of this is "special interest". Nor even an "info" to dump on. Barely any of this is even about a fact of a something.

My true special interests are non verbal.
In my true inner world of special interests, NO WORDS ALLOWED!

I haven't spoken to my parents about my special interests since I was 11.
