mmm, bread
first of may, first of may, outdoor fucking starts today. :D i mean, not outside my house but some of you may live where there's more privacy. unless you want to be seen in which case i do not judge. but the neighbors might.
i forgot the frog comic for passover! have a frog comic.
(if you're not familiar, frogs are one of the ten plagues that god visited upon the egyptians until pharoah let the hebrews go. there's a point in the seder where you recite the plagues and drip some wine out of your wineglass and onto your plate for each one to symbolically take some joy from your life in remembrance. because sometimes i'm a horrible person my favorite plague is the last one, makat b'chorot, the slaying of the firstborn. because it was all the firstborn sons - not just people but cats and cattle and fish and everything. god was not in any way fucking around.)
(it might also be my favorite plague because i imprinted really hard on the ten commandments when i was a wee thing and the special effect for it is this exceptionally creepy sickly green fog that mists through egypt and kills all the firstborn sons.)
fun fact: the hebrew word for frog is tzfardeya (צְפַרְדֵעַ). that's what you say when you're reciting the ten plagues during passover. the singular. so the second plague was a frog. just one. but it was a terrible frog.
world's oldest loaf of bread discovered in turkey. it was a "very small loaf" with a fingerprint in it. the world's oldest bread is 14,500-year-old flatbread discovered in jordan but this is apparently the oldest loaf. it was discovered near the remains of an oven, natch.
