"Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?" (Matthew 7:9)

.... I think you might be forgiven for giving your kid a stone if you came across these loaf-like specimens. I altered the color (crudely; I blame my tech like the TOOL I AM like the tool it is?) so they approached bread color--but it's more the shape, the texture...

Especially that first one really looks like some rolls I have known.

A book called Rolls I Have Known should include all the bready ones, and also all the trips down a hill you might have done as a kid, and also things that may have come to you rolled up. ... It would be a fun book.

Those look like biscuits, except the bottom one looks like a spud!

[asakiyume]

Yes, that last one is rather spud-like!

It's still starch! It counts!

I think rocks that end up actually being bread/potatoes should be a thing. DO YOU HEAR ME, WORLD?

(I mean I guess I'm grateful that mushrooms turn out so often to be edible)

Wow, those look like something out of afairy tale.

[asakiyume]

Right? The color shifting helps as they were all chilly shades of gray in real life, but still!

Such wonderful pics!

Glad you enjoyed--they were fun to photograph (they sat so still for me!) and then it was fun to manipulate the colors.

I love these bread rocks!

[asakiyume]

What if you could sometimes find them fresh and warm--just baked?

That does look like the sort of stone that might be persuaded to be become bread...

I think I read somewhere (or possibly dreamt it) that there was a superstition concerning pound-stones (fossilised sea urchins), that if you had one in the house, you would never lack bread.

I just Googled pound stones to see what they looked like and YES, what perfect loafs!
