<p>Add yeast and salt and you could have bread. Maybe this is a graffiti artist joke about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheatpasting">wheat paste</a>? Anyhow, this guys is facing the wrong way. That&#8217;s a three with a line (almost) running through it. </p>
<p>Sent in by Johnny0. <a href="http://familystyles.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/someone-else-obviously-thinks-about-baking-bread-as-much-as-i-do/">link</a>.</p>
<p>UPDATE:<br />
I just learned the real story behind this from Bilil who writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>Hey There,</p>
<p>Really like the blog. Anyway, <a href="http://ampersand.gosedesign.net/flour-water/">this</a> is near my house. I actually also thought it was a sly wheatpasting joke. However, the plywood has come down and unfortunately (unless you&#8217;re into fancy pizza places) this is just the name of the restaurant that&#8217;s being built <a href="http://www.sadtrombone.com">there</a>. </p>
<p>Anyway: Relevant <a href=" http://sf.eater.com/archives/2008/08/01/plywood_report_bar_crudo_brunos_flour_water_more.php">eater article</a> and <a href="http://flourandwatersf.com/ ">under construction</a> website.
</p></blockquote>
