Do you know how much flaxseed meal Brad Royuk eats every day? A surprising amount. See this?
That spoon is piled higher than Marge Simpson’s hair! And he eats two of them! *Jibblie* Looks like a compost pile.
Peggy, the rest of this post is for you. I wanted to test the terra cotta saucer thing, so I got one at Wal-Mart. I wanted a big one, but they only had a six-inch-diameter one. That actually worked out fine for my little loaf. I believe I could bake a larger one on it, and the cost for this little miracle? Ninety-seven cents! (I’m pretty sure it’s going to crack eventually, though. They only had one, and it has a little fissure in it.)
I sprinkled some of the flaxseed meal on the bread before I baked it, and let me just say – don’t do that. Those oil-filled flecks burnt like firewood. Not tasty.
Holy flaxseed Superman – is that you? The glasses threw me off AND what the heck are you wearing?
Lauren – where’s the womforter in that window? Our boy might catch a chill!
He’s wearing The Blackness of Night!
No womforter there – I need to be able to spy on the neighbors unhindered.
I’m wearing my black fuzzy robe. I brought it from Baltimore because I needed something to help fill my giant suitcase. And because I was a little worried that the thermostat would be set at 50.
Oh, and by the way…I’ll be trying that bread recipe today…but if I like it, someone will need to buy me a pizza peel. I don’t think Tara likes me using her play-doh cutting board very much.
How ironic that you should bring up the peel topic. I’m finding that to avoid sprinkling cornmeal all over my oven, now I’m putting cornmeal on the pizza peel, dough on that, and then when it’s time to put it in the oven, I scoop up the dough with a spatula.
I don’t have a pizza peel either. I use a cutting board. And I have a hard time getting it off with a spatula. I wonder if my dough is too wet? Anyway, thanks for the tip. I may just break down & buy a regular stoneware thingy. Either way, I’m off to Walmart.
BTW: I made the bread using your recipe exactly. The 1st loaf was devoured, so I made the rest & it was devoured. I guess in my house there will be no “just pull a piece off & bake it” each day … unless I pick up a 13 gallon tub at Walmart too.
Oh and Lauren—could you do me a favor? Measure Brad’s flaxseed with a real measuring spoon,—I swear that heaping spoon full is more than a tablespoon.
Too bad you are so far away from Clubb’s. We have saucers up to 16 inches in diameter. I know someone who is coming that way.
Is that “up to” or “up to and including”? From such a fine establishment as Clubb’s I would expect nothing less than “and including”.
Sixteen inches?? I could damage a lot of bread with sixteen inches of terra cotta!
Yes, up to and including. Give me a size you prefer and I will send it by courier.
Assuming your courier won’t be detained by any transit authorities, we’ll take the biggest one you’ve got! Charge it to my parents – they’re good for it. 🙂
