  1. NY Times Bread

    http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract. ... 94DE404482

    Here's a link, but I'm afraid it's gone to archive now. Pay per view.

    I wrote the ingredients out, but don't have it on this computer (work). Maybe someone else has them? I know we discussed the recipe on this board when we first read it in the paper. Maybe if you use "search" you can find it?

    The gist of it is make a very wet dough, with just a teeeny tweak of yeast, and let it bubble for 18 hours. That allows gluten to develop, and the flavor of the ferment adds to the delicious flavor of the bread. Then paw it into a round ball, let it rest for a bit, then plop it into a preheated (very hot) dutch oven. Put the lid on, and bake. The moisture in the closed pot is like the misting of water in an oven for other recipes.

    Take the finished bread from the pan immediately, and let it cool (if you can wait that long!).

  2. I guess this is a little something extra. Not really a ceramic cooker thing, or even a recipe. Just a wonderful discovery.

    I have a stovetop popcorn popper. Put the corns and oil in, pop, put in bowl. Delicious! So, today I tried a new addition - sugar free Dizzy rub. I forget what kind I used - might have been a steak one, but it didn't have sugar in it. Toss into the pan with the corns and oil, and it gets distributed all over the popped kernels!!

    Most excellent. :)

  3. First time brining

    Well, I did it. Overnight, chicken, salt, water, sugar, ground black pepper, bay leaf. OH MY!!! Pat dry, rubbed with Dizzy's Tsunami Spin. Roasted on a chicken rocket for just over an hour (breast to 160) at 350. Woo hooo!! Moist and delicious. Ok, since there was sleet and freezing rain going on, I did it in the oven (so sue me), but STILL it was terrific. Imagine how delicious it'll be on the cooker!

    Mother said it was the best Valentine's supper she ever had. Oh Mom. :)

    lol

  4. The one to the right is flat topped. Probably not be Egypt. Could be X'ian China. Lots of farm around it, and the Emperor of Qin dynasty had a flat topped one. Egypt would be arid, and I don't recall seeing farm land around the Central American ones. There is, though, cultivation around the X'ian one, as I recall.
