This No-Knead Crusty White Bread is next on my list. It's been on my list for some time since the CI No-Knead is one of my favorites. Coming this weekend, if not sooner. I hope you'll try it. PS. I like that it is easily resized to one loaf which works best for me.

This is my first time with this recipe. I made it in a clay bread baking bowl so I could get a nice boule shape. I'm impressed with the flavor and will make it again, it would make good sandwiches as well as nice for toast.

Here's the slice...no big holes but very nice flavor.

Will do.

Today's loaf is KAF's recipe for Peasant Bread.

Moe eats like a king!

I decided on takeout lunch from Applebee's today since the timing was right; my treatment was to be finished up at approx. 12:30 and the restaurant is right on my way home. I wanted their Grilled Oriental Salad but I also wanted one of the really good hamburgers they make so I ordered both (ordered online). Super convenient since I didn’t even have to go inside, they bring the orders right to the car). Too bad about the hamburger though, it was overdone and dry; the fries would have been okay had they not sat awhile. The salad will be for tomorrow.

What a touching story.

It's cold today with lots of snow on the ground. A good day for baking! I came across this recipe for Texas Roadhouse Rolls I've never made these before but the recipe is simple and they sound good to go with my 4 B's Tomato Soup

I’ve been using an X-acto knife, the kind with the snap off blade. I used to have a lame but find this works better.

Okay, you've convinced me. I will definitely make that happen when I use my starter next time. Right now my bread products have filled up my freezers.

Today's bake is KAF's recipe for Kimmelweck rolls made in my new Crown Bread Pan.

what a feast!

Beer with Clamato or preferably Clamato Preparado!!! My favorite way to enjoy beer.

Once I got a (replacement) laundry tub for my birthday. Admittedly it was at my request. It was a bit of a job for the non-handyman husband but it turned out beautifully. The only hitch was getting rid of the decades old tub which was made of concrete. I won't give away his secret since he didn't get caught at it.

No, did not this time. I may use some rye to feed going forward.

My new sourdough starter in growing nicely. Today's recipe is KAF Sourdough Sandwich bread.

I freeze all my breads. KAF (and Amazon) sells bread bags in various sizes...they are very good quality and keep the breads well; I slice before freezing.

I have to admit that I really like tilapia except when I've bought some in the store that tasted like mold. The restaurant tilapiia I’ve had was great so I don't know why this happens.

I have been bingeing with bread lately. Almost every day I've made a loaf of something or other. I ran across this recipe from King Arthur Flour and can't stop thinking about it. I don't have the rum extract so it will have to wait for a trip to the grocery store but I'll definitely be baking it very soon.

Only two things I can say I really hate; liver and hominy...from childhood. Anything else I'll at least give it a try.

I'd have to get to it before the dog did.

Wow! .Orgeat? I've been inspired by your evening MaiTais and have been enjoying mine of late. However , I use Mr. and Mrs. T mix, with a shot of Myer's Rum and a big splash of pineapple juice. jJust right for me. i tried making my own mix but it just wasn't right to my taste. This one hits the spot.

Sometimes things just stick. Just give it good scrubbing with BarKeeper's Friend.

Question for @Ann_T My KAF starter arrived yesterday and I followed their directions to begin; mix starter with ¼ cup warm water, mix, then add 2 cups AP and another 8 oz. warm water. Can I add the rye flour today when I'm going to begin with step 2. " . Stir the starter and measure out 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup) to feed. The remaining starter (called “discard”) can be thrown away or used in recipes calling for sourdough discard. To the 4 ounces (about 1/2 cup), add 4 ounces (1/2 cup) water and 4 ounces (1 scant cup) flour. Stir well, cover, and let sit until the starter bubbles and increases in volume, about 6 to 8 hours." If so, will there be any benefit or is it irrelevant now?
