Last week, a chocolate milk and a salad (just the leafy stuff) kept me going just fine. This week I’m still hungry after dinner. It probably didn’t help that I had 1/3 of a bar of Japanese chocolate left and sitting on my desk. I’m not starving afterwards, but just not full.

I’m not sure if I mentioned one of the things they did on Tantei Knight Scoop was help a guy bake some bread. He had no clue. He grew some wheat and then called his friends over. I’m not sure what all the steps are called in the process, but they beat the hell out of the wheat after putting it in paper bags. Then they had a winnowing machine that separated the grain from the chaff. They used a manual millstone to grind the wheat. Then they were stuck until they called a baker who was on the show in the previous week.

So now that I’m hungry, I feel like doing the same myself. My buddy Greg seems to know people with wheat fields, and they use big combines to get the grain directly from the field. He’s supposed to get me some, but then I have to find a millstone for the next step. Maybe my sister knows someone with one. I’ll probably make biscuits, because that’s easy, or bread.

I’m not sure why I want to grind my own flour and bake bread in the first place. We live really close to Grand Central Baking, St. Honore Pretentious and Crowded Bakery, and pretty close to Pearl Bakery and Ken’s Artisan Bakery. It’s probably the salad that’s warping my brain.
