I wonder, I wonder .......

I had the "munchies" last night. A few years ago we cut down on salt, sugar and goodies, so munchies is not a good thing to get. No cake mixes, no nothing. So, I decided to bake a cake ..... a simple cake .... from scratch, which brings me to the point of this blog ... Who, how, and why and when did someone invent flour" There had to be a first.

Hey, Igor, water fall from sky, must put something over, what we decide to call it, oh, yea, fire.
Good, that make nice hot place in there, what we use it for?
To what, what you mean by bake?
We mix things together to put in there, see what happen.

Who would have thought to grind things grown in the field, could it somehow have been an accident?
JaJa, you be bad boy, you sit there, rub two rocks together. Ok, put golden stuff in there, rub, keep rubbing till I tell you to .... what ..... what is white stuff ... Oh, you spill in hollow stone .....

I wonder if it was the same person who decided that you could put eggs in there too. I wonder how long we have been baking bread, biblical isn't it, the loaves and all.

Maybe God did it all, well there would be a lot of problems with the Bible if it were not for wine and loaves and the people had to be fed, so it all started before ..... them    amen.

All of those ingredients in my cake had to have a start somewhere. Sugar, flour, eggs, milk, vanilla, and even more questionable ... mix it all together, and then, they needed a pan or something to put it in, a hollowed out rock won't do, and they had no minutes or hours yet, so how did they know how long to ... bake it, and who started bake? No watch to keep track of time. It all had to start with an oven, well, maybe in the hot desert it just baked itself.

John L. Pillsbury invented flour.
Harlan J. Cane invented sugar.
Pressley L. Bovine invented butter.
Charlenton H. Beane invented vanilla.
Hobart T. Alumma invented the baking pan.

Enough history for today, the cake, blah, ate some ... probably not do it again, who thought to put oil in a can, under pressure with a little knob on top, to spray ..... the pan. Oh, it was Barton J. Spray.
