I now have a 10 inch

[texanwitch]

LCD Digital TV with little tiny remote.



Now I am ready for hurricane season.



Yes I am thinking ahead.


All I need to do is hook up the HD antenna and I am good to go.



I can hook the little tv to the car battery, yes.

6. NIce looking knife.

How well does it cut bread.

[NMDemDist2]

7. excellently

the offset blade is perfect for the chewy bread I bake

like this loaf last week (which looks just like the loaf I just took out of the oven)

8. MMMM NYT bread!

[NMDemDist2]

10. actually no, it's the new C&B rage

Artisan Bread in 5 minutes a day or Ain5 as we call it

darned good stuff too!

[KitchenWitch]

12. OOOH

I have to check out the recipe. Sounds easier than the NYT thing.

13. here's a link to get ya going

http://www.motherearthnews.com/Real-Food/Artisan-Bread-In-Five-Minutes-A-Day.aspx

use this recipe but bake in the dutch oven like NYT just split the top as directed by the article

9. That is what I thought.

We make bread in the bread machines, all three of them.


Nothing like fresh homemade bread.


I like it hot with a little butter.


I am going to get a knife like that.

[NMDemDist2]

11. it's very affordable and got excellent marks from Consumer Reports

even against much pricier knives being tested

[texanwitch]

14. I do need a better knife.

Does the knife slice hot bread.

Newly baked bread doesn't last long around here.

The bread never gets a chance to get cold.

[NMDemDist2]

15. since I don't use a machine, I let my bread cool. it has to finish baking

on the counter

but it slices the crispy crust I get on my artisan breads no prob

[texanwitch]

16. Sounds good to me.

Looks like the knife would make nice even slices.

I would have to hide the bread before it would get a chance to get cool.

I like using the bread machines because it is so easy.

There is frozen bread dough which makes good homemade bread.
