Maybe they were talking about dough. If you forget the yeast it's VERY difficult to proof.

I thought the same thing, and if I hadn't been... loafing...I would have posted that thought before you did.

Two recent C-D references (by different posters, in different threads) to living in a "gaited community" (is everyone there in lockstep?? Or are they horses?) and to a troubled family "in need of consoling" (well, possibly, but counseling probably would be useful) make me wonder.

Evidently the first poster is an equestrian, while the second - who knows??

In a comment from a CNN reader: "The president has the gaul to go on television and blame the house".

Hmm, wonder which gaul he has? Vercingetorix? Charles DeGaulle? Or some other Gaul?

Well, at least it is probably safe to assume that his gaul is divided into three parts...

50k * 2/3 = 33k
So now we have math.

I agree - it was a stale attempt; there isn't a grain of truth in that half-baked excuse.
