Willow ,'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
and blessedly scenic ( and seriously, if you are looking for that, I recommend it. It is truly phenom. Happy moments involve swinging in a hammock overlooking the spectacular valley at night while nicely buzzed)Seconded mightily. Spent some lovely time there. And it's a quick nip down to Sedona too. Oak Creek Canyon...
Oh, Studio 60, how you are so mystifying. I think the show happened like this: people told Aaron Sorkin that he didn't understand how normal people thought and acted. He figured that what he would do is write a show where no one behaved in a way comprehensible to him. This was a bad idea.
nasty night out. got home from work maybe 15 min ago. deep puddles on the highwauy. flood under a bridge to my neighborhood. and this is the first real rain.
Thanks for the birthday wishes, everyone.
On the humiliation humor topic, I hate humiliation humor. I can't stand listening to those radio shows where they prank call people. However, I just saw Borat, and it didn't seem like that at all. For the most part (with maybe two scenes that I can think of as exceptions), the people he was talking to weren't upset or embarrassed at all. It wasn't watching people in pain at all. (Well, OK, there were two scenes where I was cringing. But that wasn't the point of the movie.)
I made the recipe this weekend, and it yielded one good loaf, with a strong crust and good soft insides with lots of holes. Very European.
I was just going to ask if anyone here had made that! Isn't there something about a Dutch Oven, though?
Well, I used a Le Creuset pot. But apparently any oven-safe pot with a top will do; you need the top so that it will get steam and form a nice crust.
I thought one of the attractions of making bread was the kneading part, at least among people who like to make bread. Me, I've always preferred the breadmaker.

It is. I haven't made bread in about a year or two, but there is something entirely soothing about kneading. and the smell. Another good thing.
I'll have to check that out - I have a very similar recipe. In the one I have, you bake the loaves on the bottom side of a cookie sheet. You just spritz the loaves a few times with water during baking to get the crust effect.
THE EATING!
