   Oh…my…god…what…a…waste. Salt isn’t a crucial ingredient.

   LOLs! Oh man! It is so bleeping funny!

   Yeah. That’s Lio’s blob, with added color. Least she remembered to do that.

   Reminds me of “I Love Lucy” and the loaf of bread that trapped her in the kitchen!!!

    I have a friend who has often made me some bread from her bread machine and she never adds salt. I just accept the bread and sprinkle a bit of salt on it before eating it. No biggie.

    Eight to twelve loaves every week for years. Yes you forget the salt once in a while. Make bread pudding, crumbs, salt the bread, never throw good food out.

    @cleokaya, obviously you have never made saltless bread.

    ummm… Elly, they sell the stuff ready to eat at the grocery store.

    cleokaya said, 5 months ago

    Ash - you are right. I make bread all the time, but have never forgotten to add the salt. With all these comments, I will make a point of continuing to add salt. LOL

    Just wondering–did Elly say “D’oh!” when she realized she forgot the Salt??

    If John found out, Elly would never live it down? What? I think John would be justified in saying:

    a. Just add the salt to fix the problem, or tell Annie you are doing an unsalted bread recipe.
    b. Don’t do 24 loaves at one time. You can’t possibly knead that much dough and our oven is not big enough for 24 loaves.
    c. You made a huge mess of the trash can and it will attract animals.
    d. We need to update our trash can to a modern one.
    e. Didn’t someone already tell Lynn Johnston the problems with this strip back when it originally ran in 1979?

    Problems with the strip? I think it’s hilarious. And hey, it’s just a comic.

    And no, there was no computer forum with a peanut gallery back 79.

    Many things get ruined by too much or too little salt. YUCK!!!

    Absolutely the best.

    Once had bad dough at a pizza place I worked at. Threw enough away to make 50 pizzas into the dumpster, summer, in the 90’s.
    It grew up over the side and stunk to high heaven.

    hehehe i Made my first sweet rolls this weekend, I can just imagine the bread blob growing and the look on Micheals face as he watched it.

    Busted!

    hildigunnur said, 5 months ago

    heh, both Swedish and North-Italian bread is normally saltless. Can’t stand the stuff. The Italians have oil and salt to dip the bread in, usually, but the Swedes just basically dislike salt bread.

    howtheduck said, 5 months ago

    Burgundy2. Thanks for letting me know it’s just a comic. I keep forgetting that simple truth and I need to be regularly reminded. I’m glad you thought it’s hilarious, because hey, it’s just a comic. You lucked out this time.

    Thanks for telling me there was no computer forum with a peanut gallery back in 1979. I did not know that prior to this computer forum, Lynn Johnston had no method of getting feedback on her comic strips. 1979 must have been a very primitive time.

    lightenup said, 5 months ago

    Wow, howtheduck, what incredible sarcasm. I’m amazed you even read the comics with such a condescending attitude… or do you just hang out waiting to put people down with your “wit”?

    harleyquinn…
    been there. Not a pizzeria but a bakery. Pretty funny, but stinky.

28. 

    howtheduck said, 5 months ago

    lightenup. WRT your question: Do I just hang out waiting to put people down with my “wit”? The answer is “No.” My rule for commenting on a forum is not to personally insult the person for making a comment, but to address only the comments people have made, as I did with my response to Burgundy2. I believe personal attacks have no place on a polite forum.
