    Hooch?

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

    A mixer question?

    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...

    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.

    What are you baking today?

    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...

    What are you baking today?

    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...

    What's your favourite breakfast?

    Stayed at a small B&B just outside Erie, PA for a few days last summer. The owners were former hoteliers from the UK. After one of their "full" English breakfasts it was difficult to even walk! Wow! They wern't kidding when they said "full".

    What's your favourite breakfast?

    It depends. At home, it's always my "souped up" oatmeal. Chopped walnuts, chopped dates, raisins and a healthy dash of fresh ground allspice. Eating out: At Cafe 56 in Rancho Penasquitos it's French Toast and their country sausage patties. At the Santa Fe Cafe in Encinitas it's the Eggs...

    Pan searing with less mess?

    You are quite correct, however, waste or not, I simply prefer the oven finish. We normally do not have steaks of excessive thickness as neither one of us enjoy rare or med rare meat, but I find the oven finish gives more control (at least in my mind) than the pan. Be that as it may, we no...

    Pan searing with less mess?

    "Cuisine At Home" issue 61 (I believe) had an article on this subject. Basically sear one side over hot heat in a heavy (read cast iron) pan for 5 minutes, turn over, transfer to a 425 F oven for : rare - 5 minutes, med rare - 7 minutes, medium - 9 minutes, Then let the meat rest for 5...

    Chicken meat spread?

    Whew! GF, you've about covered all possibilities. Except I like to add a few dashes of sauce from Lexington #1 on top (you know what and where I'm talking about).

    Low cal, almost sugarless oatmeal bars - splenda and fleishmann's did the trick.
