    As long as it's not baked to long, it's soft!

      And it would stand to reason that the majority of them are NOT -- kinda like a shepherd and sheep - the sheep generally outnumber the shepherds.

      But there are evangelical leaders that are the contemporary versions of the Pharisees and Sadducees,
      Some, sure.

      and evangelical followers which are the equivalent of the people who followed and fell in line with the Pharisees and Sadducees. I'd consider the comparison quite apt.
      Because you're known as BroadBrushCarpe!

      Color me surprised...
      With a broad brush?

        But they are the exceptions. Not the norm.
        You were preaching to the choir, so to speak.

          The ultimate weakness of violence is that it is a descending spiral begetting the very thing it seeks to destroy...returning violence for violence multiplies violence, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King

            Hopefully not - but probably so.

                  • I like to use my old iron skillet, preheat it in the oven, then pour the cornbread batter in the hot skillet and bake... it makes a really nice crust, and keeps the cornbread from sticking to the pan.

                      Well one thing I think people forget is baking is less forgiving than cooking. You can generally get away with eyeballing and taste measurements in cooking and few cooked dishes are going to be affected by altitude, humidity, or precise cook times. Pull out a Turkey a little late? Might be a bit dryer, but mostly okay. Baking needs more precision. Things are mixed in an order and have those measurements for a reason and eyeballing it can be enough to not let that cake rise like it should. Many baked dishes are affected by humidity, altitude, barometric pressure, and have a narrower window of cook times. Pulling a batch of cookies out 5 minutes too late will often burn them. Fudge is about impossible to make in high attitude, etc. Many great cooks can end up being terrible bakers.

                              • Every time someone responds to a comment about "person X" with "what about person Y," I point out the "whataboutism" at work. I don't think you will find that anywhere in my posts. But feel free to point it out if you think it exists.
