Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

There have been evenings that I would have done anything to get fresh baked bread. I wonder how much these machines cost?

[–] whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Actually you don't need to buy the entire machine to have a baguette out of those

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Unless I'm looking to put one up to provide baguettes 24/7/365 in my community!

YSK The machine is only selling them, not creating them from thin air.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Look, all I know is that the machine has air, and then after some time, it contains air AND. BAGUETTES. Okay? I ain't no rocket surgeon, it just happens, okay?

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Of course they don't come out of thin air, although that would be pretty cool if they did. And there are a few other companies that make them but they are not cheap.

[–] daychilde@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No, duh. If it requires thin air you have to have a partial vacuum or fly it in a plane or something. My god you people are stupid.

Dunno where you're at but Trader Joe's sells these half-baked breads. You bring it home, pop it in the oven for maybe 15m, and you have a nice loaf of bread, freshly baked. It scratches the itch.

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (2 children)

That sounds amazing! But the closest trader joes to me is 65 miles away, next is 110 miles away. No shade, its I'm in bum fuck eqypt, its a small city but way far removed. If it wasn't for the highway and the university there would be nothing here.

So I have a feeling on of these machines may pay back pretty good in the right location. I mean come on, who doesn't love fresh bread.

/except people that have celiac, thats a rough thing as gluten is everywhere.

Regular grocery stores sell par-baked breads, and have for a long time.

One brand, LeBrea, is particularly common, and good.

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

LeBrea, I'll see if my local has it, thank you for the help!

If you only have Dollar General, you're screwed on food anyway, but if you have a Walmart… imho walmart bakery is quite fine enough for a lot of things. It may not have the cachet of other brands, but it's tasty.
