But, enough about that. It's time to move on. I did manage to bake some of the famous "No-Knead Bread" as shared here by Mark Bittman of the New York Times. I've seen it in the paper, on Martha, online, everywhere. I decided I had to try it. And lo and behold, it turned out amazing just as everyone says. And it really is easy, if a bit awkward flinging wet dough around, onto towels and into pots, etc. But the bread was so, so worth it.
I was attracted to the recipe because the dough is actually fermented for at least 18-20 hours. I know that the long fermentation process makes wheat flour much more digestible. I still don't think I should eat it daily, although with the response of my family I may be making it daily for a while at least!
It was quickly devoured.
Unfortunately (*wink*wink*), it did "require" the purchase of this 6 quart red enameled cast iron pot from Chantal (yeah, yeah, I know I could've used my crock pot insert but I didn't think of it until it was too late!). Fortunately, we found it at T.J. Maxx for only $39 on clearance. George and I felt it was our lucky night! And besides, we have never had a roasting pan.
I highly recommend you click on the recipe link and try.this.bread. It is wonderful and anyone could make it.

Does this mean I have to go & buy one of those frenchy enamel deals that I've been dreaming of for years? Xxx
Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such a nice comment. I think I have a new hobby I want to start... It was so exhilarating to create the statue. I am making one for my cousin to place on her fireplace mantle- their nature shelf- this weekend.
I am searching through your post for the link to the bread recipe and cant seem to find it. Could you hold my hand and nose me the right way? LOL...
