Here is another freebie from the Half-Price Sale in Polychrome Heroics, for meeting the $500 goal.

The television in Terramagne-America is so good that their commercials are better than most of our shows. I shit you not, if a character walks past a TV that is turned on, I look to see what's on the screen, and I will stop to watch a commercial. Which is how I came to write down a few of the best ones.


"Community Kitchen Bread Commercial"


We love bread! If you love bread too, join us at the Coexist Community Kitchen. We have plenty of space for classes, gatherings, and other activities centered around food, fun, and friendship. Check out our offerings for the next month ...


Bread Baking for Community
Come to the community kitchen to bake Easy Yeast Bread in any variation (white, whole wheat, cinnamon, etc.) that you like. We will chatter while we work and have a great time! Prior baking experience is helpful but not required.

Bread Baking for Physical Therapy
Making bread provides wonderful stimulation for hands and arms. Choose from Yeast Cornbread, Easy Potato Bread, Gluten-Free Bread, or Greek Flatbread for a gentle kneading experience. This session is recommended for people with mental or physical limitations, including recovery from hand and arm injuries. Prior baking experience is helpful but not required.

Bread Baking for Dexterity
Use baking to improve your manual dexterity! We will be making some exciting stuff such as Hand-Tossed Pizza Dough, Heavenly Challah Braids, Panda Bread, Shaped Rolls, and other specialty breads. This class is for intermediate to advanced bakers.

Bread Baking for Exercise
Do you feel like exercise is a waste of your time? Kneading brings out the gluten in bread dough, and it also gives you a nice upper-body workout. We have bicycle chairs if you want to add lower-body action. Choose from Crescia Bread, Alaskan Oatmeal Bread, Soft Asian Milk Bread, Chocolate Brioche, or Breadsticks for a Crowd. Some of these recipes produce stiff dough, while others take a long time to knead. You'll get a fun workout and a tasty loaf to take home! Prior baking experience is helpful but not required.

Meditative Bread
Have you tried meditation only to get bored or fall asleep? Try a moving meditation instead! For this session, we'll be using smooth dough with a lengthy kneading time so you can really get in the zone. Choose from Homemade Sourdough Bread, Ital Bread, Malt Bread, or Tender Dinner Rolls. Prior baking experience is helpful but not required.

Dough See Dough

It's a great choice for people who are Deaf, touch-dominant, neurovariant, or English language learners. No experience needed.

The Womanly Art of Baking Bread

See the exterior of Hanson Hall. Look down into the courtyard and you can see the first floor windows. The Breakdancing Jesus mural overlooks the sliding glass doors that lead to the Buddy Christ Church and Bong Shop. Here is the main lobby.

Check out the floor plan for the Coexist Community Kitchen. The front includes an island. The back has a workstation with adjustable height. This space hosts many kitchen classes for all skill levels and a wide variety of foods.

Per request, I'm adding an entry for the Buddy Christ Church and Bong Shop along with Fuck Yeah Loaves and Fishes.

Buddy Christ is more modern representation of Jesus. Since the dude was a poor, homeless hippie to begin with I think it's pretty accurate.

As you come in through the sliding doors, there is a small lobby between the two wings of the Buddy Christ Bong Shop, and the Buddy Christ Church is straight ahead. The left wing of the bong shop sells smoking herbs. The right wing of the bong shop sells all kinds of pipes. They also sell Buddy Christ items like this Smoke It poster.

The worship room can hold up to 50 people. This multipurpose room can seat up to 50 people. It lies between the Buddy Christ Church and Bong Shop worship room and the Fuck Yeah Loaves and Fishes food pantry.

Buddy Christ watches over some donations.

This is the floor plan for Fuck Yeah Loaves and Fishes. The lobby includes a community bulletin board. The administrative offices are in the large gray rectangle between the front desk and the back storage room. Tables hold supplies. The front storage room has shelves and refrigerators. The consultation offices are in the small gray area between the front and middle storage rooms. Lacking windows, they are fitted with light panels instead. The middle storage room has schedules and sorting baskets. The back storage room has more shelves and tables for stocking donations before they get put in packages.

Bread comes in many kinds. It has a long history.

Kneading dough is an essential skill for baking most types of bread. Know how to tell when it's done. Kneading gluten-free dough requires a different approach.
