3. A French bakery in Fresno, California, has Challah every
Rivkah   (03.11.10)
Friday, with seeds or without seeds. How kind to remember the Jewish community. It is in the Fig Garden shopping center and the bread sells out every week. They have a good recipe, too. But I don't think they use margarine. Most people don't realize margarine raises the cholesterol more than butter does, and it lacks the oil soluble vitamins butter has. Margarine is also one molecule away from being plastic, so it couldn't be healthy for people to eat and it is not.

6. measurements
Brenda ,   Tel Aviv   (03.11.10)
We are in Israel! Why can't you use measurements that relate to the ingredients we find in the supermarket?? What is a pound of flour? What is an ounce of yeast. Please use grams or at least packages (of margarine) so that people here can use your recipies. Or at least use both. The paper is meant for Israelies too, isn't it ???
7. #3 Only one molecule
Mervyn Doobov ,   Jerusalem, ISRAEL   (03.12.10)
Ozone is only one atom away from Oxygen, so Oxygen also cannot be healthy to breathe!
8. 7 Mervyn Doobov, Jerusalem, Israel: Ozone is heathy to...
Rivkah   (03.12.10)
breathe, as is oxygen. The reason ozone levels are measured as an indicator of air pollution is not because ozone is bad. It is good and needs to be measured. It is the loss of ozone that is harmful in the atmosphere. Margarine, so similar in structure to plastic, is a slow poison that is intended to slowly harm the public. Plastic bottles and containers emit plasticizers or phthalates into the food and water which are then absorbed and then damage the pancreas leading to increased diabetes rates in the population unless chelated out with beta-sitosterols. Increasing diabetes in the general population is great for maintaining the mega-structure of the medical establishment. It is sort of like destroying people with false accusations to fill up the prisons which is another mega-industry that has to be maintained to keep the guards working with all their benefits which in California is $10,000. a month with a retirement that is close to that from the unions ripping of the public. You have to look beneath the surface to see the good in the harm. It must be good to governments to slow poison people so they die sooner and benefits don't have to be paid them. When I think of how my mother was duped and fooled by fluoride in water and toothpaste and by margarine, both slow poisons, so that she poisoned her husband into diabetes and her children nearly so if they had not changed the diet she established, I have to wonder how grieved parents must be when they learn they fed their family the poisons that slowly killed them. My mother was so gullible and easily deceived by the government, she drank tap water without a filter, believing it was healthy. That led to osteoporosis from the chlorine and fluorine, but no information presented to her could convince her that the water in the spigot, unfiltered, was a slow poison. She was a democrat, after all, and democrats are beyond stupid to the point of retardation in believing the government wants to help them.

11. Rivkah (from challah to democrats??)
son of sam   (03.12.10)
What ??? I'm not sure you meant it that way, but your post about prison guards, democrats and fluoride was the most entertaining thing I've read in years. What is the name of the government commission that meets and decides to poison people so that they won't live along to collect their pensions?
12. 11 son of sam: Those decisions to slow poison people to
Rivkah   (03.13.10)
reduce the world population are make at a higher level, such as the Bilderberger level, the Committee of 300 level, the Club of Rome crowd, etc. Bill Gates said vaccines should be used to reduce world population. Barbara Marx Hubbard went so far as to say vaccines are the pale horse of Revelation that causes death. Bill Gates should know since he paid for tetanus vaccines for childbearing age Filipino women. Someone got curious and decided to find out why. The vaccine was discovered to contain human chorionic gonadotropin which causes miscarriages. Dr. Stan Monteith (MD, PhD), the founder of Radio Liberty tracked the outbreaks of the AIDS virus that has a 20 year incubation period to hepatitis B vaccines given to inner city homosexuals and to third world countries. That vaccine was tainted with HIV. Now 80 per cent of subSaharan Africa has HIV or AIDS. The vaccines were given to people by the World Health Organization, the medical branch of the United Nations. Abortions is another way to kill both the mother and the unborn child. The fetus is murdered and the mother gets breast cancer in most cases twenty to forty years later. But worse than that, an abortion is the mother blotting out her name from the book of eternal life unless the mother's life is in danger or there is a compelling reason such as famine or war to justify the abortion to the Lord. For that reason, girls should be put on oral contraceptives when they start menstruating so that if they are raped or seduced conception will not occur. Imagine how many women are going to hell for abortions: hundreds of millions! A friend died a couple of years ago who had confided to me that she had an abortion in her youth to spare her family the embarrassment. When she died, the Lord did not show me a white garment for her of eternal life and I asked Y'hovah many times why. Finally Y'hovah revealed to me the terrible truth: many sins can be forgiven by the Lord, but not failing to provide for your own which is denying the faith. And not blaspheming the Holy Spirit. The Hebrew word for fetus and baby and child is the same word. A child was murdered. But worse than that, her own child was murdered...by the mother. That could be forgiven. What could not be forgiven and what kept the woman out of God's Kingdom was that she denied the faith by not providing for her own: the unborn child.
13. if you dont have xxl kitchen gadgets
eporue ,   europe   (03.13.10)
the recipe might prove a bit challenging... even if you have a supersized bowl, a regular handmixer is too small for this quantity. maybe at the point before adding the floor, split the "cream" into two or more bowls. it makes several loaded sheets of bread... 1 hour baking could be 10-15 minutes too long (?) i used two packages dry yeast, 14 gr (because the package says its for 500 gr flour) but one should be really sufficient.
14. Sounds like hard work to me - easier & cleaner to buy one!
