Think I am going to make another loaf of that easy Baker Style Bread tomorrow. May put it in a French loaf pan this time to make it easier to cut.

Good night, bakers and friends!

Good idea. Just realized my pasta water won't be very starchy, we use veggie spaghetti! But it will be like using veggie water, eh?

Yes! Any vitamins that go into the water will then be in the bread

No, no. Christmas dinner will be a 32 oz porterhouse steak on the grill.

I was considering ribeye, but pork spare ribs ... nom, nom, nom. Thanks for the idea!

Christmas dinner might be turkey. But I will do several things differently, that's for sure!

I found a recipe for GF pie crust. I might try that, much as I stick at making pie crust. Then I could have some lemon meringue not-soup pie too.

I am thinking standing (beef) rib roast.... Or maybe a brisket. Depends what I can find. I have juniper berries. It will smell heavenlyyyy!

Sure! Anything that will add flavor. Just simmering a chicken or turkey carcass for a few hours won't yield as nice a broth as one made by including veggies.

Oh, always include veggies! Carrots, celery, onions or the ends of onions, carrot tops, celery ends, left from cooking other dishes and stored in freezer. If you include the onion skins, you get a rich brown color. Waste nothing!

This was really helpful for me when I was first making broth.

I save the trim ends of onions and garlic and any other veggie scraps I have in a ziploc bag in the freezer.

I got 5 pint-and-a-half jars out of my "scraps." Turkey carcass, veggie scraps: free, as otherwise they'd be tossed into the compost, or given to the chickens. Add in peppercorns, 2 bay leaves, a splash of vinegar, and the electricity to run the Instant Pot. Compare that to store bought prices any day of the week!

Not bad for my first time making no knead bread.
