Brioche Bread -- Recipe Here is a simplified version of a classic French bread recipe. Brioche is my first choice when making bread pudding and French toast, and it is wonderful toasted with jam. Oh yeah, it's great plain, too. Brioche 4 cups (1 L) all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading 1/4 cup (60 ml) sugar 1 1/2 tsp (7 ml) instant yeast 1 tsp (5 ml) salt 8 Tbs (120 ml) cold butter, cut into small pieces 3 eggs 1 egg yolk 1/2 cup (125 ml) plus 2 Tbs (30 ml) milk 1/3-1/2 cup (80-125 ml) water Combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in an electric food processor and process with the steel blade for 5 seconds. Add the butter and 3 eggs and process for 10 seconds. Add 1/2 cup (125 ml) milk and 1/3 cup (80 ml) water while the machine is running and process for 30 seconds.

Cowspiracy: The Unsustainable Nature Of Animals By Donald Ardell Introduction: I have a few questions for your consideration. After posing these questions, I’ll outline what the evidence suggests about each question. I’ll follow that with a discussion of what it all means for those who want to enjoy quality lifestyles guided by reason, exuberance, athleticism and liberty. Here are the questions: What do you think is the most destructive industry in America and elsewhere in the world today? Hint: It’s not the tobacco industry. It’s not the oil and gas industry, either. Why are the world’s leading environmental organizations unwilling to talk about the problems that the most destructive industry causes that degrades the environment and threatens the health of every living creature on the planet? Hint: It has to do with donations. What is the leading cause of deforestation? What is the leading cause of water pollution – and guzzler of water? Wha...
