Do not put your cellphone in your breast pocket or bra…

Thank you!

OMG! My cell phone frequently goes into what I call "the bra pocket!" It is in a case.

How did you get burned?

Good hikers will do, too.


And so will fancy-hide cowboy boots.


Wat has ostriches and croc(odile)s.

Boots make me swoon!

Ewww! What did you get into, W?

 

[Lilianna23]

I really like their boots. I have wide feet too. I have a pair from 2012 that have been resoled 2x.

Last time I was in MN we went to the factory store and museum and saw the giant two story work boot!

Is it just me or does the toe of that boot look like a butt?

Anyone?

Just me? OK, then!

Happy Monday!!! Slept decently. Coffee is on and critters are fed. Lunch for the week is bought and the challenge is to remember to tooken it to work with me. 52/80 today, a couple days at 84, and generally cooler this week. Positively Autumnal. Well, headed in that direction.

Well, here I am all caught up again BEFORE B2 wakes up! You got this day, everyone! Slay that Monday! ️

Here you go, B2!

Artisan No-Knead Bread

2 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup nut/seed mixture
1 tsp yeast
2 tsp salt
2.5 cups water

Mix all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add water and mix well. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave for 12-18 hours. (I've left mine for >24 hours)

When ready to bake, place covered pot in cold oven. (I use a cast iron Dutch oven but you can use any kind of oven-safe covered pot or dish.) Preheat oven to 450°.

Prepare a sheet of parchment paper with a bit of scattered cornmeal or flour. (I use cornmeal; I like the crunch it gives to the bottom crust.)

While oven is preheating, scatter a bit of flour around the dough in the bowl. I use a spatula to scrape the dough out of the bowl. Turn the dough out onto the parchment paper. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel.

When oven is preheated, carefully remove the pot. Lift the lid and place the sheet of parchment paper into the hot pot. Be sure to remove any plastic wrap first! Cover the pot and place into hot oven. Bake at 450° for 20 minutes.

After the first 20 minutes is up, remove the lid from the pot and lower the temperature of the oven to 375°. Bake for another 20 minutes.

At the end of the bake time, carefully remove the hot pot from the oven. Grasp the parchment paper and remove the loaf. It should sound hollow when thumped on the bottom. Let sit on a rack or trivet for 10-15 minutes before slicing into it.

You can put anything you like in your nut/seed mixture. I go to a store that has a great bulk bin selection. In mine I have:
Almonds
Pistachios
Millet
Sesame seeds
Hemp hearts
Flax seed
Ground Flax seed
Pepitas
Chia seeds
Quinoa
Sunflower seeds
Wheat germ

I mix these in a large freezer bag. It makes it easy to just scoop out the amount I want.

Greylag substitutes currants for half the nut/seed mixture. I've made some loaves like that. It's also very good!

If you don't have a large covered pot, you can divide the dough for a smaller container. You could use foil on top of your container.

Thank you. I plan to make it.

Have a good day, Wat!

Thank you, ma'am. You, too . . . .
