Don't think we don't see you, Brun.

Well, I will now.

The baking soda is the leavening agent: it interacts with a mild acid in the dough (lactic acid in buttermilk perhaps) to form bubbles that leaven the bread. It's the same process as with pancake batter.

Tip: instead of buying self-raising flour or baking powder, you can buy baking soda and cream of tartar. Use two parts cream of tartar to one part baking soda in place of baking powder in your recipe. If the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon of baking powder, for example, use half a teaspoon of cream of tartar and a quarter teaspoon of baking soda. This will emulate baking powder, which normally also contains one quarter rice flour or something similar.

Why bother? Unless you're using it frequently, baking powder will tend to lose its potency over time. This also allows you to omit the cream of tartar if you want, in the case where there is already acid in the mix (e.g. buttermilk).

To make self-raising flour, make two teaspoons of baking powder per cup of plain/all-purpose flour (1 tsp cream of tartar + 1/2 tsp baking soda).

Timemaster:
Baking soda as leavening agent makes bread quite light and fluffy, but also a bit dry. And it get's old quite fast. Eating it without butter and something on top can be kinda challenging. Soda is better suited for pastries or cakes, IMO. So I'm with Clinton here. 

And I think Roko looks quite nice in her cropped top. Maybe I'm robosexual too?  :-D

Bad Superman:
Does Elliot know about Roko's fetish?
("The birds...")

BenRG:
Poor Clinton! I think that we can list 'soda bread' as a negative experience for him. It's nice that he's trying to not make a thing about it but it's pretty clear that it's an important thing for Elliot. Maybe a deal-breaker? Something tells me though that Brun (in her entry for 'Cutie of the Arc', previously dominated by Roko) is more than willing to 'clean up the mess'!

Panel 1 has caught and held my attention though. I can't help but meditate on the irony of Elliot looking at someone and clearly thinking that they're cute when their naive. Is Clinton being naive though, or is he taking Roko's previously-stated claim that she feeds birds in the park as factual because he's polite like that?

I don't think that you can say 'he knows'. Renee told him that she thinks Roko has a bread fetish and he took her word for it; I also think that what he's seeing of Roko's behaviour supports that theory.
