IN: I ' m not of the all too common present belief in disposable consumerism : of buying as cheaply as possible and that when the item is no longer of use , I 'll throw it away and aquire a new one . Properly and sturdily made bakeware , stoneware and cast iron , in particular , will last indefinitely , benefiting from the time and care it takes to season it ( as will anyone willing and thoughtful enough to take that time ) . This makes a lovely moist loaf ( I halved the recipe ) . It browns significantly and has a lovely flavour enhanced with a good smear of butter .
What would be a top hobby of the narrator ?

OUT: They seem to like baking .

IN: " She looked out the window , as if remembering something she was fond of . She had that misty look in her eyes . " Except Adam , he went to war , and he came back - different .
Why is Adam being so terse and tense with the female ?

OUT: Adam experienced the horrors of war and is struggling .

IN: I remember the Sunday after my brother died , my Dad woke me up to go to church , and finally I made a stand and refused to go . I told him that I refused to be a part of something so horrible that it caused people around the world to kill each other for no reason based on the word of a loosely translated book . My position apparently became upsetting for him , and off he went to meet my mother at church without me , though not without a few comments in passing .
How do I feel about the religion that my parents believe in ?

OUT:
I do not believe in it .
