Friday Bread This Week<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fig Anise<\/strong> – Made with a sponge fermented overnight, then the final dough is mixed with bread flour and fresh milled whole wheat. Honey, dried figs and anise evoke all the flavors of the Mediterranean. – $5\/loaf<\/span><\/p>\n

Semolina Levain<\/strong> – Made from durum wheat, a hard wheat often used in pasta. The flour has a lovely golden color that comes through in the bread. This bread uses a sourdough starter that ferments overnight before mixing the final dough of bread flour, semolina, and fresh milled whole wheat. Great toast!- $5\/loaf<\/span><\/p>\n

and pastry this week…\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Pain aux Raisin –<\/strong>\u00a0 Uses the same laminated dough as croissants.

Economics of the Heart: A Social-Political Theory of Relativity…?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The media have been spending an inordinate amount of time (every minute of every day….really?)<\/em>\u00a0 on all things Tweetster<\/em>— as if everything he says,<\/em> however hateful, ignorant, self-serving, or detached from any observable reality, is in fact the Real Truth about our real enemies, from whom Only He Can Save Us,\u00a0<\/em>like some magical obi-wan-trumboni<\/em>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These myths date way back to the 80’s when cartoonist Garry Trudeau<\/span> often made him a character<\/a> in his comic strip “Doonesbury,” including one strip in which his character admits the Presidency is the only office he would consider. And it was Funny because even then everyone knew it was a ridiculous idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet somehow Trumpism<\/em> has dominated world news since that ride down the escalator in 2015 launched us into this never-land fantasy world in which the entire nation became the target of a small group of extraordinarily wealthy white “Christian” men who wanted complete control of the entire country, replacing Constitutional government with an authoritarian police state, and dumbing down education enough to ensure an End to Critical Thinking altogether.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Women would become servants at the pleasure of their husbands and families, “barefoot and pregnant” housewives banned from higher education.\u00a0In recent days political analyst Joyce Vance has posted an attention-deserving piece<\/a> on the substantial movement supported by many young women to embrace that kind of dystopian future for themselves and their future families. It’s hard to imagine how anyone could imagine a world that small for themselves without running around screaming!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The series of conversations with these young women is astounding in their unquestioning acceptance of letting husbands make all their decisions for them, giving up voting, working outside the home, careers, or even basic equal rights. It’s creepy!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

A similar view is evident in this brie<\/span>f CBC<\/a> video.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that so many people are so gullible. The good news is that every day more and more Americans are waking up to the reality that our nation has been taken over by a bunch of pandering under-achievers who, like the apparently large numbers of Christian women who would be content letting their husbands vote for them. Is that what young women are really like<\/em> in Red States?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Underlying all of this brings us to the social value of education and learning. In 1970 Harvard Prof William Perry began a years-long inquiry into how people learn to think<\/em>. Over many years of working directly with many students, he realized that everyone has their own unique<\/span> relative understanding about self-and-the-world.\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We all begin with something of a two-dimensional world of opposites like good\/bad, better\/worse, this\/that. Over the years, the countless distinctions among things reveal a broad, multi-layered matrix of inter-dependencies among facts and reason.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So…what can Perry teach us about the contradictions we see all across today’s American political landscape? The answer takes us back to H.L. Mencken’s famous observation: <\/span>“For every complex problem, there is an answer that is clear, simple,<\/span> and wrong.”<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\n

Perry’s deepest takeaway about student learning was that deeper understanding doesn’t make relationships simpler<\/em>, it makes them more complex<\/em> by infusing reality with interacting conditionalities and dependencies that drive our beliefs. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Tweetster’s <\/span>months of bombing Iran have lost massive goodwill, trust, and respect for our country from all around the world. We may or may not be getting out of Iraq soon, but our position in the world has been forever changed by the first year and a half of this accursed Administration, and America has lost of lot of fans because of it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
