FRIENDO'S ADVICE

We all have problems in our lives, reaching from the existential to the very mundane, and Friendo, the featureless sexless life-size puppet we use in many of our productions thinks friendo can help.

So we've started to compile some of these deep questions in a column we're calling FRIENDO'S ADVICE.

Hi Friendo,

I love your advice. I'm a long time reader, first time caller.

As with a lot of people in quarantine right now, I'm happy to do my part and stay locked down.

But does that have to include my roommate, who is now all of a sudden “A baker”? Never baked a loaf before and now all of a sudden, she is talking about yeast and starters and loaf tins. Two months ago all she ever had was a standard white loaf.

Help,

Unrisen in Brooklyn!

Hi Unrisen,

According to Wikipedia, bread is a staple food prepared from a dough of flour and water, usually by baking. Throughout recorded history it has been a prominent food in large parts of the world; it is one of the oldest man-made foods, having been of significant importance since the dawn of agriculture; and plays an essential role in religious rituals and secular culture.

Bread may be leavened by naturally occurring microbes, chemicals, industrially produced yeast, or high-pressure aeration. In many countries, commercial bread often contains additives to improve flavor, texture, color, shelf life, nutrition, and ease of production.

I hope that helps, humans! Until next time.

Friendo
