Secret Fiber…

The new trick will be to incorporate fiber into our breads in a … secretive way, so that certain relatives (who should be downright ashamed of themselves) will be able to actually taste things, and then, maybe someday, eat the things baked for them.

Yes, the zucchini bread was vegan; yes, it had flax-seeds in it, and nuts, and oat bran, and wheat germ, and whole wheat flour. But come on, he could’ve actually tasted it! Bah! A nice little lady at work actually STOLE the loaf I brought in for everybody – she just wrapped it up & took it to her desk instead of leaving it in the communal area! Now, would a little taste have hurt him?

Apparently we’re going to have to refine our fiber a bit more, maybe run it through the blender or the cuisinart before we incorporate it into the breads. Maybe get a “white” whole-wheat flour, too, and peel the zucchini, so there’re no little green bits. And oat bran is already light.

And he wonders why his wife’s always going behind him sprinkling BeneFiber in things!

It was the First Bake and everything! Woe!

  1. 🙁
    I wish it weren’t a “woe.” You’re giving a lot of weight to the opinion of a person from …Oklahoma, by way of SQ more recently. This person HAS FOOD ISSUES. Nothing you do can alter that.

    I wouldn’t alter your baking too much. Food isn’t love [and is this about that?], and though you were trying out a particular type of cuisine (which may have been unwise for a gift — but then again, maybe not, people like it), you aren’t proselytizing that it’s the WAY to eat, are you? He’ll like something else. Or not. Don’t waste any woes on that one.

  2. I know he’s got issues. It’s not a Woe, really. I’m simply sorry, because by the time he gets around to being able to eat things like I like to cook … I’ll have given up on him trying things without sugar. Frankly, I’m not into the chemical things, so baking with splenda was really going out on a limb. It’s not woe – I’m just done. I asked the man if he’d eat it, and he’s too chicken to have a) told me he wouldn’t, or b) to just try a piece. All done now.
