OK, the SO feels obligated to respond, since some dear readers may not
know the history.

I tend to defer to CJ's expertise when I do baking, since that's her
specialty. I seldom bake things more complicated than brownie mix, or
basic pies. But we do share the cooking responsibilities in other
areas. And we also do a lot of (mostly good-natured) trash-talking
about each other's kitchen skills and cooking exploits.

So the term "flour Nazi" was not a commentary on her political
inclinations. It was a riff on the "soup Nazi" in the famous Seinfeld
episode about the talented-but-imperious proprietor of a lunch truck.
