Bread balloon

I haven’t baked much 5-minute bread this winter, even though it’s so handy and I love bread so very, very much. (Our new oven takes a stupidly long time to warm up, but that’s another story for another day.) However, the few times I’ve made some, we’ve found the easiest, fastest way is [...]

Happy Birthday, Charles!

Let there be baked things!

I don’t think I wrote about it, but way back in the beginning of January Lloyd and I were in Lincoln looking around, and he asked if I wanted to look at stoves again. I told him that I really didn’t care any more. The only two requirements I had were 1) it should [...]
