Yeah, some of these long-used processes are so non-intuitive and elaborate, one has to wonder, how was it figured out. Making bread is one of the most significant and important such.

The fermentation process didn’t need to be invented, so that was probably the first step. After a couple of hundred generations of everyone around the campfire going to sleep totally hammered, someone somewhere started to do some what-if.

Probably be ok if heated in the microwave first.

Collect the seeds.

Discover they are hard to eat.

Treat them like little nuts and roll a rock over them a few times.

Try to eat again.

Not bad but we have fire, lets toast them!

Didn't turn out the way I thought. Maybe boil them after roasting them?

Yay porridge!

Not saying that was the start but maybe.

Probably work to soak it in some nice hot soup. For a while. A long while.

Twinkies?

I found some interesting sites about the history of grain, grinding it to flour, baking it, yeast & leavening, domed ovens.

Some think that people were making flatbread (unleavened) and some foam from nearby beer making got into the flour/water mix and caused it to rise. Interesting thought.

Stretch that out over 1,000 years, too.

It’s MalwareBytes finding a problem with the website, not the Opera V95 Browser. And I trust MalwareBytes over anything else’s findings. Check your own browser Settings, for Tracker Cookies; you’ll likely have some, or worse, from that site. But I do always enjoy your posts.

MalwareBytes defines “compromised” as:

“Compromised sites (or servers) are otherwise legitimate sites that are being used by hackers without the owner’s knowledge. Compromised sites are often used to house and spread malware.”
FYI.

Thanks for the kind remarks.

Nothin’ in there for the site or anything I don’t recognize. But now I want a cookie. I’m eating this leftover antipasto instead.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Probably.

We had been eating seeds long before we started eating grass seeds so by the time we go to that point we had a good idea how to process seeds for the best food return.

Nice hiss.😁

Looks a bit like a female Thanos.🤮

Just put it in a steam basket and it will freshen right up!..............
