I was thinking of the effect on my teeth as I tried to bite into them!
Have long liked decent wholemeal. More recently, I have found a local flour and make my own. The flavour is fantastic and the idea of going back to most white - including these buns - is horrific. (Not as horrific as many other things, I'm sure you realise.
)I have always gone for brown bread, .. either a wheaten or a yeast, including a period when we used a machine to cook them ..Fine bread, but the big hole in the middle for the mixer was off-putting. Anyway our local now does a mixed seed Low GI .. fantastic texture and flavourI was thinking of the effect on my teeth as I tried to bite into them!

That's an incredible picture, how many idiots can you cram into one telephone box...table too.Cosy
What have they done with the phone I wonder ?
Quite a number of years ago, we had a breadmaker and used it quite a bit. Now, though, I wouldn't bother.
The work require isn't that much greater to do it all by hand. And that also allows a cold rise - in the refrigerator - which helps develop flavour. Mind, it's jolly nice even with a standard rise.
Most breadmakers expect quick yeast. Doing my own, I use fresh yeast I get without charge from Tesco. (Morrison's force you to buy pre-packed.)
That's just spin. I've seen many videos, where the observers were herded out of range of the counting, and you could see that there were no other observers.There were still observers from both sides thoughout inside the Detroit counting hall - they had to stop the ones intent on distrupting the count.
A ballot counter inside the TCF Center in downtown Detroit, where thousands of absentee ballots are being tabulated, told CNN on Wednesday that the Trump campaign is "not telling the truth about not being given access."
"They have all the access they need," the woman, who requested anonymity due to security concerns, says.
Entry into the TCF Center wasn't restricted until Wednesday afternoon, according to Garcia, the city attorney. After that, credentials were checked on the ground floor coming into the conference center.
"Entry into the Central Counting Board (which was in Hall E of TCF) was always manned so that no one could enter without going past Dept of Elections workers. Election challengers had to sign in at the door to Hall E, and media was confined to a special area inside the hall."
Several challengers were escorted by police from the TCF Center for not wearing their masks properly inside the room where ballots were being counted, Garcia said.
Video alleging possible vote-counting fraud in Detroit is actually a journalist pulling a wagon with camera equipment
Detroit officials are debunking a video that falsely implies election fraud occurred when a man pulled a red wagon containing a box into a vote-counting center early Wednesday.edition.cnn.com
Lawrence Garcia, an attorney for the City of Detroit, "Hundreds of challengers from both parties were inside the central counting board all afternoon and all evening; dozens of reporters were in the room too," Garcia said. "At all times, people outside the center could see in through windows that were further away from counting board work spaces."
But dispute the innocuous nature of what happened, the story served as fuel for a right-wing media machine looking to sow distrust in the country's voting system.
Someone suggested he considers it safer. Very difficult to poison a burger from a chain and target that at one individual. Bulk poisoning might catch some people but not the intended target.
some made a nuisance and got thrown out.
they can of course complain but I don't see that changes the result.
Only recounts can change the result and I can't see how Trump is going to win any recount.
Trump may just throw in the towel by Wednesday.
I’ve been contemplating buying a Titanium seat post from Ali Express for my PX Tempest gravel bike. Since Biden has been declared President Elect, the Dollar has weakened making the seat post slightly cheaper. Every cloud.
Better order asap - many expect delays soon and you wouldn't want that!
Superb analysis of how it`s going to pan out from here on in
Wait Just a Minute! Some Very Good News May Be Coming
By Jay Valentine
Like many, I spent the last few nights waking up at 2:03 A.M., no reason, then looking at my phone for news, any news, that might be positive for President Trump. I survived on Rush, Bongino, Mark Levin. When the news continued to be ugly, I even checked in on ridiculous bloggers promising that ballots were watermarked and D.J. (our household name for a president we love) was actually launching a sting on the Deep State.
Enough already. Stop the madness.
Hey, I have a degree in statistics, and I have some level of critical thought. If there is such pessimism in my tribe, I am not going along.
So today, I started to dig into the numbers, and as I did, I fought my confirmation bias at every step.
I realized that I, like millions of others, had been numbed into despondency by the overwhelming press, media, social media push to certify President-Elect Biden. (I put that in there so you can see how repellent it is.)
Hey guys, this thing is not only not over; it is scary for Biden. I mean really scary, and most of all, the media know it. Thus, the rush to get everyone in line with the narrative that a 78-year-old, early-dementia former V.P., who could not draw a crowd larger than a dozen, just beat D.J. in a fair election.
Process that for a moment.
Start with Pennsylvania. Biden, as of this writing, is at 290 electoral votes. Pennsylvania is 20.
I read the Justice Alito opinion, and it is pretty clear that he wants the after election night at 8:00 P.M. votes separated for a reason. Biden is going to lose at the Supreme Court, and they know it. Four justices already said the Pennsylvania Supreme Court cannot adjust voting rules. A new arrival, Justice Barrett, says she is there to apply the rules in the Constitution. OK, wanna bet she does?
Remove the after 8:00 P.M. ballots, and Biden loses Pennsylvania. Biden 270.
Let's visit Nevada. I have lots of friends in California who have condos in Nevada to evade state taxes. There are not a couple of people doing this; there are tens of thousands. Everyone knows it, and California seeks them out.
Our old pal Harry Reid knows it as well, and he apparently has them voting in droves in this election. Probably not a big D.J. constituency. Within 72 hours of the election, the Trump team found, validated over 3,500 of them. I do not suspect that Trump's people stopped counting.
Every one of these is a ballot reduction for Biden
Nevada, as of now, is well within reach for DJ and the Trump team — particularly when the California crowd is reduced. And a few of them may testify since a false vote is a very bad thing, with jail time if convicted. Maybe a bigger story here.
Remember where we are, people. Biden is at 270 after a highly probable Supreme Court decision (read Alito and concurring opinions).
Lose Nevada, lose the election.
But wait: it gets better.
Let's visit Wisconsin. Right now, it is 20,000 votes in Uncle Joe's direction. Lots of stories out there, well below the Google fold, that there are way more Wisconsin votes than there are registered voters. OK, maybe the dead can vote up there — probably a Midwest thing.
Well, last night, we found that Wisconsin election clerks were told, and followed the direction, to modify mail-in ballots and fill in the blanks where witnesses left out critical info.
I am sure it was just a good customer service thing and they meant no harm. The problem is every such ballot is now toast.
There were "thousands" of such prima facie wrongful votes. Oops. Biden up 20,000 — now that number is in question. No more truckloads of votes coming in, so every ballot D.J.'s team eliminates gets President-Elect Biden on step closer to former V.P. Biden who lives in a basement. Not good here.
North Carolina. That one pretty much looks like as though it is over and D.J. won it. Fox News is rumored to call it for Trump around April 2021.
Remember where we are here. Biden is probably going to lose Pennsylvania, so if he loses even one state, even one Electoral College vote, ouch!
Either D.J. wins outright, or it goes to the House, which means that D.J. has four more years.
We're not done yet.
Michigan. Oh, yes, the land of the "glitches" in the voting machines. Six thousand votes for Trump given to Biden in one of 47 counties where that software is used. About 150,000 votes in Biden's favor right now.
Google the 130,000 Biden votes that showed up in the middle of the night, and you can see how the wonderful people at Google are fact-checking this "debunked" story. In fact, for fun, Google "Michigan voter fraud," and you get literally three pages of "this was fact checked and proven to be false." Why would Google be so assiduous?
They too see that if Amy votes with the four, Biden is one vote away from the basement.
Lawsuits in Michigan and the other states are being launched, and discovery will take place. Google will not be there.
Voter fraud is kind of like larceny. A little is OK. It is even kind of entertaining.
Dead people have been voting for a hundred years in Democratic cities. It is such a constant that one would think the Republican Party would consider a Dead Voter Outreach program to get their share.
But voter fraud on this scale is just not sustainable. It does not pass the common sense test.
We have bloggers with lots of time on their hands going through voter rolls and showing that person after person who voted in a swing state also fought in the Civil War or maybe the War of 1812. It was funny at first, but the overwhelming number now goes beyond humor and rubs our faces in it.
I think D.J. has to swing one state. Actually, one electoral vote. Not only is this thing not over, but the Biden team must be sweating bullets.
Voter fraud at scale seemed like a really cool idea until D.J. went to the mattresses. Now that he is fighting it out one voter at a time, with the Supreme Court likely to create the starting point at Biden 270, Biden has everything to lose.

All will be good. I can always get one made if the wheels come off the country.
... EXCEPT it is just FALSE. Remind us now , who coined the phrase False News?
'Trustworthy' Trumpism barely twitching....
Saudis have just sent congrats to Biden and Harris
And this bit of fakery from Team Trump popped up and soon disappeared when the forgery was pointed out
This morning Trump’s director of communications, Tim Murtaugh, posted a defiant tweet.
“Greeting staff at @TeamTrump HQ this morning, a reminder that the media doesn’t select the President,” the tweet read, echoing Trump's refusal to accept the projected result.
Attached to the tweet were pictures of what appeared to be a front page of the conservative Washington Times newspaper plastered across the walls of the Trump campaign’s HQ.
The front page, dated 8 November 2000, read: “President Gore - Gore over the top with bare majority”.
The headline refers to Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore, who ultimately lost to George W Bush in 2000 after a close result in Florida, which was contested in court.
However, the Washington Times has taken to Twitter to say it never ran such a front-page story.
“Those photos have been doctored. The Washington Times never ran a 'President Gore' headline,” the newspaper tweeted.
“We also wish to add that Mr Murtaugh has been officially notified via email about this error.”
Murtaugh’s tweet has since been deleted.

It has wonderful articles about boycotting Pepsi because of homosexualising Doritos.
When Trump goes, he will have to take the following on board the possibility or actuality of:
Perhaps the sum of all these factors (and maybe others) is too much for him to take? Goes playing golf as some sort of displacement activity.
- His failure to get re-elected;
- Publication of his financial situation including tax affairs;
- A wife divorcing him;
- Loss of status;
- Removal from Twitter;
- Not having the media hanging on every word;
- Potentially in jeopardy of multiple legal proceedings;
- Being 74 and out of a job.
