Nada hoy. Muy caliente aqui!

I baked Cinnamon Swirl bread. Yummee!

Try high protein Whey Powder; available is several flavors at drug and grocery stores, and wally world, of course.

Definitely!!! One of the best film food scenes ever! Thank Goodness! I'm not the only one!

I always stir it in. Keeps your starter consistent, so it'll always measure the same for recipes.

I have to secod Apple's recommendation of the the "Artesian" book's method. It works! I've gone both the hand method and the KA way. Both are okay, although I get a better result from hand kneading. But with this new method, why bother? Before y'all go knocking it, try it.

Just for the heck of it, and this going back a ways, does anyone remember the eating scene in the movie "Tom Jones"?

Alix: With all due respect, you can keep your HOT! Thanks, anyway. A follow-up report on the "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day" method. My first attempt the other day used the King Arthur instructions; they are time-consuming and unnecesary. Artisan's method is to take a lump of dough...

Never sky-dived. But I was in a real sword fight once, many years ago. I won.

Not to be a party pooper - - - but my $1.98 "T.V. Knife" does a fantastic job. And yes, I have some other very expensive knives in my collecton.

Laurie: It is "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day" by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois. Do like I do - I always check it out at the library to see if it's worth spending the money. It's worth the money. I thought you were going to slow down. The ones for the kids I can understand. I'm not...

Well - - - I baked the "no knead" baugette, like everyone else did, but we didn't eat it - we devoured it! It was far and away one of the best I've baked in years, and the easiest I've ever done. Wow! A full, velvety Cabernet, some cheeses and fruit amd that wonderful bread. What a supper...

That's the one!

Use plenty of rum, Wyogal. Yum, rum!

Me, too. Only just one. I'll bet everybody's trying that new "no knead" recipe. Am I right?
