Ergo…. Ergot
September 13, 2006
I spent weeks stomping around complaining that I couldn’t find rye flour. I had, I insisted, white and wheat, but no rye. How could I make rye bread without rye flour? Every store I went to… no rye! Finally I found some, and yesterday I made rye bread.
…with the rye flour I thought was wheat.
I checked it first. There was nothing in it and there were no signs of any fungus or anything.
But still… if I start to hallucinate (moreso than usual) or seem crazy (moreso than usual), please keep this in mind when calling the paramedics.

Bonus - you should have no migraines for a while.

You… uh… write for a living, correct? :)
Not once, not twice… three times!
Your penance - make me some good seeded rye. The number 10 runs near my place. I’ll expect it fresh in the morning. Chop, chop. ;)

When you know the rules, you’re allowed to break them. I never … in my technical writing, but I do speak like that. Sometimes I even go so far as to say “dot dot dot”.
I had a hell of a time finding caraway seeds, so this loaf was unseeded. I also need to get more yeast. And you’re totally opening yourself up for ergot-inspired insanity. Not that anyone would notice.

Ohh… the flower/flour thing. Durh.
In my defense I’m incredibly high on allergy and sinus medication and it’s really bloody apparent I’m not tracking in the real world at all.

It’s the ergot. Ergo, your confusion.
