What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

What is even happening?

THE EATING!

Our wings are not tired.

Reading about kneading, smelling, and eating fresh bread is just about killing me here!

Also, please to not type so much today because I really loved this thread title lots.

This is a good thread title. May the next one be equally amusing.

Now I want bread.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

THE EATING!

This is what I'm saying.

Alas, I have no oven-safe pot-with-lid. One of these days I'm going to break down and buy Le Crueset, but so far I've been put off by the thought of carrying it home.

no oven-safe pot-with-lid

Could a removable liner for a crock pot do in a pinch? Does the shape matter? Or just the oven-safe part?

He's wrong! Brining is where it's at.

This. It is so easy, and makes such a difference. My sister (who prepares most of the meal) decided to brine 5 or so years ago and the rest of the family made her promise to do that every year, even though she generally likes to use different recipes for everything.

I don't know what that is, but I imagine the answers are yes, no, and yes. But that's just a guess.

I am extraordinarily tired for good reason -- stayed up too late, woke up too early.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Right. Shape doesn't matter; it's a vaguely round loaf that may or may not touch the sides of the pot at all.

One of these days I'm going to break down and buy Le Crueset, but so far I've been put off by the thought of carrying it home.

eBay, hon. There are a bunch of resellers in Francophone Canada who sell them at about half the price you'll find in, say, Williams-Sonoma. Including the international shipping.
