Domestic violence happens in every income bracket. Nowhere is that more visually apparent than in the disturbing photographs taken of celebrity chef Nigella

Are we just pretending this didn’t happen or something?

My kind of idol Nigella Lawson and her vile creature of a husband publically choking her in rage has made me so fucking angry right now. I mean i know no facts, but look at her fucking face as she walks away! but what makes my rage boil even hotter is that now people are slating her for being a coward and not standing up against domestic violence. Sorry, WHAT? She is being attacked for being attacked. Now how the fuck does that work. ANd it’s clear from the first picture its abusive and controlling all of the time not just in this very public incident. I love you Nigella.

Nigella! Divorce this vile old codger and take him to the fucking cleaners

“Tranquilize your mind every morning, and imagine the moment when you may be torn and mangled by arrows, guns, lances, and swords, swept away by great waves, thrown into fire, struck down by thunderbolts, shaken by earthquakes, falling from a precipice, dying of a disease, or dead from an unexpected accident; die every morning in your mind, and then you will not fear death.”

Just wanted to post an update. We played D&D clue after the wee tykes were off to bed.

Wife won the first game and I won the second game.

My son liked just battling monsters. I think I’ll make him a D&D player yet :)

Okay so I wanted to share the recipe for this amazing bread I whipped up on Friday. I consider myself a very talented cook and baker, especially gluten free. The one thing that has always evaded me was bread. I’ve tried every recipe and mix I could find with very little success. So, Friday I finally think I got it.

1 tablespoon active dry yeast
3 tablespoons white sugar
1 1/4 cups warm water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

And the magic ingredient? Three Cups of BiAgut bread flour.

I order it from the site above, you may be able to find it locally if you have a store that imports but chances are that you’ll have to order it.

Mix water sugar and yeast together and let foam. After about 10 minutes mix in the rest of the ingredients. If you don’t have a stand mixer you’ll give your electric mixer a rough time and your hand will probably fall off trying to mix it by hand but you can probably do it. The dough will be VERY sticky.

Grease the loaf pan and pour dough. Let rise 1 hour somewhere warm.

Set the oven to 375 and cook for about 30 minutes, keep an eye on it. You’ll know when it’s done.

My loaf did overflow the pan a bit, I’ll be working on adjusting the proportions some. I’m also going to work on figuring out a mix of my own for the bread flour.

Well what came out was an absolutely amazing loaf of bread. It’s VERY soft and pliable, sliced extremely easily and can be sliced thin. It was good toasted and untoasted and traveled well.

The only thing that is worth mentioning is that it is a tad “egg-y” in taste but I’m not a fan of eggs and didn’t find it a turn off.

If anyone tries this let me know how it goes!

Saving this for my wife.

That’s the main reason I’m trying to get as many people’s stories and experiences as possible. I already have to maintain a low-protein diet because of the OTCD (and I know it’s also a big reason I am tired all of the time) but like, I’m trying to think about the things I eat and the way they make me feel. 

That advice you got was horrible. The woman who feels worse needs to go to a nutritionist.

My wife buys gluten free bread and gluten free bagels. We eat spinach pasta and get plenty of carbs from numerous sources.
