Loaf around with beer
By Hedy Khoo

IN life, there may come a time when a man is faced with a tough decision.
Take for instance, a dating dilemma: Your devoted plain Jane of a girlfriend has a wonderful personality, but you meet someone else - a gorgeous woman who spells the promise of unchartered territory.
Choosing one over the other is difficult, but two-timing could end in tears and agony - yours, when you get kicked in the groin by not one, but two pairs of high heels.
So what is a bloke to do?
Do remember, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
While a peace offering of a branded bag might be a ticket to redemption, asylum is not guaranteed.
With food, it is a lot less complicated. Yes, it is possible to drink your beer and eat it too - by baking it into a bread full of wholesome goodness.
If men stayed home to drink more beer and eat more bread, life would be a whole lot simpler.
Beer goggles could bring out your plain Jane girlfriend's beauty.
Eating the bread would hasten the development of your beer belly, making you less attractive and much less in danger of meeting gorgeous women.
And if your girlfriend wants that branded bag, pretend to be drunk. After all, you can blame it on the beer.

BEER BREAD
INGREDIENTS
250g whole wheat flour
100g all-purpose flour
11/2 - 2 tbsp baking powder
1-2 tbsp basil
1-2 tbsp oregano
1-2 tbsp sage
1-2 tbsp parsley
50g grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp sea salt
1tbsp honey, or sugar
1 can, or 330ml of dark ale, preferably unchilled.
There is no need to sift the flour.
METHOD
1. Except for the beer, mix all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the beer and mix thoroughly with a wooden spoon. The paste should be thick and sticky.
3. Pour batter into a loaf tin and cover loosely with cling wrap. Allow to sit for about an hour to allow the dough to rise a little.
4. Preheat oven to 200 deg C at least 15 minutes before baking the loaf.
5. Place loaf tin in oven and bake for 35 - 40 minutes at 180 deg C.
6. To check if bread is cooked through, insert a skewer. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready.
7. Take bread from oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from loaf tin.
