They shouldn't need sugar to proof the yeast, but I think this points to Teodor's problem - without access to stone-ground wheat flour, special filtered spring water, yeast grown from an ancient traditional farmhouse strain, and pink sea salt, he's helpless.  The guy couldn't make a simple grilled cheese sandwich to save his life.  He has fallen down the slippery slope of Modern Foodieness and can't get up.  He needs an intervention in which he is kidnapped and fed frozen dinners and iceberg lettuce salads, after which he will be allowed to gradually work his way back to some kind of happy medium.

Preach it!  A tiny can for you.

I am curious to know what Vlad's bread looked like, and also why he was wearing a leotard.


Everyone, including Cornelius, is wearing a wife-beater because that is perceived as badass.

Lyle's expression in panel 7 is so sad ... I don't know if I want to give him a hug or a gift certificate to a liquor store.

Almost every single thing in this strip fills me with gut laughter.

Ray's menacing shout

"A dude who can walk into any kitchen in the world and make bread is COMPLETELY RAW!"

"Lyle your yeast didn't bloom dogg I mean this is a top-drawer failure by any measure in the book"

Ray's admonishing tone/pose

"How long did you knead it for? A thousand minutes? A million?"

"Alright not only did Cornelius buck the rules but he made a recipe that his dead first wife taught him before we were born" "That ishard. Cornelius, hands down."

Mr. Bear at first looked as though he was dressed to be part of some barbershop quartet.  Then I realized it's just his apron over his suit.  (Hey it's early and I was up late last night.  I forgive me.)

Oh no it's not, he's got a wifebeater over his smoking jacket.  He's bucking the rules with more than just his recipe it seems.  The Dude is RAW!!!

Haha so we've made a number of posts about how fucked-up panel 3 looks

Pay attention to the order, and then look at the order of them in panel 1! Fuck-ups abound!

The dude's got babies throwing pasta all over the place, man.  He can't be concerned with character order or logistics of three dimentions!

Maybe they all had a Chinese Fire Drill between panels one and three.  YOU DON'T KNOW.

I'm really surprised that Teodor would suffer such a culinary breakdown, even under stressful conditions. He is, after all, a veteran of the Risotto Wars.

Those of you that have the Achewood Cookbook will know from Pat's instructions that baking is like science. You can't just run around acting all crazy. You have to follow the steps precisely, or else it'll all go to hell.

As I lay in bed last night, preparing for sleep, I was telling my special ladyfriend about how much I'm enjoying the Chemistry course that I'm currently working on.   

She responded to me, "Do you know what you're getting more of?"
Not understanding the question I responded, "What?"

"Science."

This is why I love her.  She doesn't even read Achewood, and there she was.  She knew that I had been requesting and wearing a shirt that calls for more Science, and she UNDERSTOOD.
