Rapid Rise

I had to purchase some yeast this afternoon at the grocery
store. I had trouble locating it for a number of reasons.

First of all, it's located quite inconveniently. Instead
of being with baking supplies or dry goods, it's nestled
next to the yogurt in the dairy aisle. Who would have
guessed?

Secondly, apparently the Fleischmans company is
particularly involved in Women's health issues. Thus, the
yeast was packaged in a bright pink pouch symbolizing the
fight against breast cancer.

As I explained the colorful packaging to my mom, I
couldn't help but make a smartass comment or two.

"What's with the pink?" she asked.

"It's for Breast Cancer awareness," I replied. "But at
least they picked a respectable disease to protest."

"How so?" she asked.

"At least they're not fighting yeast infections," I
quipped.

It's a bad pun, to be sure, and I know that it probably
makes me a terrible person. Nevertheless, I'm a hell of a
lot of fun to take to the grocery store!
