Any question answered...

Higher protein content than nearly all other breeds, i.e. it's a very 'hard' wheat, but low in gluten, so it's useless on it's own for bread making.

Spelt has a bit more protein and happily bakes into a loaf on it's own.
Some may argue that it's not a wheat though.

Why would that be?

I think that it's sometimes seen as an ancestor of wheat, a weed that was turned into a crop.

Eventually all wheat comes from such.. Oh well.

I dont think its the high protein that precludes good loaf formation, but rather the absence of gluten... jeez I sound like a twat sometimes! ok, all the time! :P

Smell: decomposing animal stitched into anus.

Sauce: Sieved tomatoes, garlic, onion, oregano , zucchini, mushrooms, olives, capers, touch of cayenne, black pepper , red wine. Home made. Sauces I make all the time, none of the gaseous emissions in evidence.

Pasta: cooked al dente, but wholewheat pasta remains chewy no matter how long you cook it.

Cheese on top?

Funnyyou should mention but there was some parmesan involved ...

Its a nice day out there but I don't have time to go to far from home.

Richmond Park Hour of Power or two lap RP run? I can't decide.

Balls - my physio has moved to Chester.

Who can recommend me a physio?

Any practitioners of woo-woo* can >>>>>>>>>>>> though.

• Osteopaths, chiropractors, acupuncture, trigger points, other pseudo-science.
  
  

Crystals & homeopathy are, of course, totally legit. As is voodoo and earth magic.

so the obvious follow up question is - do you have parmesan, or any other cheese as part of other meals?

Emyr might be onto something!

does it have to be a physio? you can get good treatment from students at the british school of osteopathy. check out bso.ac.uk for further info.

For full disclosure - I am a student at the BSO; but I will say that I started out as a patient and ended up on the course. Take that as you will.

I'd recommend my services privately - I am a qualified/insured sports massage therapist; but I've had surgery last week and I don't think I'm up to it yet.

What do you need doing, exactly?

Ha. Cheese gives me no problems, he was referring to a joke about something else made earlier.

Definitely blaming the pasta. Why doesn't regular wheat have the same effect though and should I just try to stop eating all of it?

Tonight youre gonna eat plain pasta without salt. Just to verify.

Maybe not the species of wheat that's the issue, but the method of preparation. I'm wondering whether lumps of pasta get further down your gut in one piece than, say, bread, because they get to the stomach as larger, denser, pieces. Think about how a slice of bread is completely destroyed by being soaked in water, compared with a length of tagliatelle. If you wanted to do science, you could try making pasta with common wheat, or bread with durum.

It's all one smooshy paste by the time it leaves the stomach, I thought.

^ Very true. Even the hard al-dente pieces get digested perfectly well down there. However, they might exhaust more gasses in the process. I don't know.

Ahem...

Osteopath has been a legally protected designation since Osteopaths Act 1993, whereas Chicropractic is such delusional bullshit, they tried to sue Simon Singh after he "outed" them as quacks.

Stomach gasses go up though, right?

U_G needs to do an experiment with jars, poop, a hose, and a bucket of water.

And maybe a match and some air freshener.

I think my session last week with Bluerip00's clinic went well.

A Dutch fountain?

That's nice for them.

It's not quite the science-based evidence for effectiveness that would persuade me that it was worth more than a passing interest, but it's nice nonetheless.

Thanks.

^^I've got a similar setup you can borrow if you're ever in the area.

A Dutch fountain?

How rude!

hehe.

Sorry. Kind of a British tradition to stick the word 'Dutch' in front of anything that has the potential to be remarkably perverse.

Think it has something to do with a stereotype for bestiality and that kind of thing. Maybe Tester knows more, he usually does (no innuendo).
