I realized it has been a while since I've baked some bread, so I started making some this morning. It occurred to me that I had not used my bread flour since before Joe and AJ had their party. As I reached into the bag, I noticed a very hard lump of flour. So hard, in fact, it would have hurt me if I tried to break it up. Once I took it out, I learned it was a bottle cap.
After I was kneading the bread for a while, I found a small little lump of dough that just wasn't working itself in. So I picked it off and squeezed it. It felt almost normal, but there was something a little weird. I stretched it out, but it didn't break. I then gave it a little sniff, which was about when I realized it smelled minty. Someone put some gum in my bread flour.
I don't really like parties.
