Bread-testing update:
I made a double recipe divided into three regular large (9x5?) loaf pans last night.
Baked it for 15 minutes with cookie sheets covering them, then 10-17? more minutes with the covers off.
It worked.
We have one of those in my house too...
And actually, because of one of the few things I've allowed myself to absorb of his thinking on efficiency...
...the whole "needing to use the oven often" thing may be an obstacle with this bread.
Making bread daily would be nice, but... the energy consumed by the oven.
(That only occurred to me after I'd made it like 2 days in a row, for the record.)
and yay, you were growing tomatoes, Menolly...
What variety? (not that I know anything; I just keep telling myself if I ever grow something it will be tomatoes.)
Home-grown tomatoes are SOOOO much more amazing and wonderful compared to store-bought.

Ah, neat... so another use for whey.SD wrote:At the end, it's an entirely superior product to commercial yogurts...and the whey was a big bonus all spring and summer as a liquid fertilizer for both her tomato plants and Dam-sel's flowers.
