If I ever end up with Type II diabetes, the first thing I'd do would be
to
buy myself a decent grain mill. I've recently been toying with the idea
because of the wonderful taste that freshly ground wheat gives to my
bread -
one forgets that wheat has a great taste until you get really good
freshly
ground flour. Perhaps I should convince myself it'd be a godo
preventative
investment.

Enriched flour is interesting. Some 40 nutrients are removed from the
flour, and 5 are added back and it's called enriched.

p. 96
White flour's low protein, vitamins, and mineral content made it "less
liable than whole meal flour to infestations by beetles and the
depredations of rodents", as Sir Stanley Davidson and Reginald Passmore
observed in their textbook Human Nutrition and Dietetics (1963).

If bugs won't eat it, nor should humans :-))

It's the Spring here, that eats up most of our firewood.

Why is that?

Brain fart.

Most of our wood gets burned Jan. thru March, which is technically
winter, but this year we were still building winter fires in April and
May. We have some 30 - 40 trees, better to hold the hillside in one
place, and all fallen limbs, or overlooked wood from previous tree
trimmings went into the stove before the weather improved. Most of what
we burn comes from a company that makes gun stocks out of walnut.
Usually the trash that our trees throw is used as kindling.

America is not broke. The country is awash in wealth and cash.
It's just that it's not in your hands. It has been transferred, in the
greatest heist in history, from the workers and consumers to the banks
and the portfolios of the uber-rich.

You put Lloyd Blankfein in pound-me-in-the-ass prison for one six-month term, and all this bullshit would stop, all over Wall Street. That's all it would take. Just once.
