I’m giving the no-knead bread another try. (Did I post the recipe before? If not, it’s here.) My friend Kate heard about my woes and she thinks I should re-name it Tragic Bread. (My house still smells funny from the plastic.) Anyway, I stuck a little more to the script this time, but I did swap out some whole wheat flour for the regular. I believe I may have solved my ‘how the heck is this going to stay warm in my freezing house’ problem. At least for four cold night hours – that’s how long a tea light lasts. Maybe Beth could give me a call at 2 a.m. to remind me to light a new one. I know she’ll be up.
In other news, I have a cold. We’re supposed to go to ukulele club Saturday night, but the weather’s supposed to be bad and I feel crummy. We’ll see how it goes.
Brad says
Couldn’t you just sleep with the dough? You could snuggle up against it under the covers or cradle it gently in your armpit. That would keep it warm.
Lauren says
mmmmm…..armpit bread…..
Peggy says
My armpit bread would have to be “Bloody Mary Bread”.
(BTW: That’s a real recipe, try it next time Lauren.)
Or if you want to send me your dough, I’ll sleep with it & cuddle it & in the morning we’ll have fresh baked bread!
Deborah says
If you make a lot of this bread, you’ll need more tea lights. (The meaning of this comment will be revealed to you at a later time.)
Steamy kitchen says
how about covering with electric blanket on low?
Beth says
Um…you haven’t tried the slanket yet, have you?
Lauren says
That’s keeping us alive as we drown in a sea of Kleenex. We’re both sick now. Hooray.
Karla says
But I thought Lloyd only got sick when there was some sort of break in the school schedule?
On the other hand, it’s nice of you to share with him.
