I made a half-serious resolution to bake in the outdoor oven at least once a month, and after a few weeks with subzero temperatures, and a weekend out of town, this was my last chance for February. We had a warm up all week, but it was only about 20 degrees at 8 am when I started the fire. We have a pretty good view of the oven from the house, so I was able to load it up with fuel and keep an eye on it from inside, so it's not too bad! The only problem was the warm temps created a very muddy yard, so between me and the dog coming in and out all day my house is not a pretty sight.
For this bake, I made three batches of bread: 2 ABAA recipes: the columbia sourdough, and Ponsford's ciabatta, with a levain-risen biga. I also made a couple of loaves of my favorite multigrain sandwich bread, my own recipe adapted from Reinhart's multigran extraordinaire. I mixed the columbia the night before, and as Mountaindog suggested in another thread let it rise about an hour before refrigerating it. I pulled it first thing in the morning, and let it warm up for 3 hours or so before shaping. The ciabatta biga calls for a minute amount of yeast, so I wasn't sure how much levain to substitute. The recipe's description is that the biga may not do much for hours, but will triple in volume in 24 hours, so I decided on a couple of tablespoonfuls of levain, and it perfomed just about right. I would probably use even less in summertime, or if my starter was exuberant.
All in all it was pretty uneventful, though I'm starting to realize that I need to let the fire burn down sooner, and/or allow extra time for the oven to cool off before baking. I keep finding myself with ready-to-go loaves and a 500+ oven, which is fine for some breads but a little too hot for others. Anyway my timing was such that it was consistenly 25 degrees or so hotter than I needed for each batch. I can leave the door open to speed up the cooling, but I worry about overdoing that too. I'm still learning, obviously. Here's some pics from the day:
Multigrain loaves in the oven with chcken curry--that turned out very well (made by my SO).
Some of the ciabattas got a wee bit dark. I've had a habit of taking them out a little too early, so I left them in longer--and overdid it the other way. Everything was quite dark actually, the flash makes them look just right though... :)
Ciabatta crumb: Not bad, but a little less holey than the non-levain version I made last time. The flavor is excellent though...
And finally, while finishing up with granola, it started snowing!! This wasn't expected to start until after midnight, but you know how that goes. I burned one batch of granola, and I blame blizzard conditions for my tardiness on checking on it! We now have 8 inches of snow with more on the way--so I'm happy at home with wayyyy too much to eat.
Hi, my name is Caro
I made indifferent bread from recipes for many years, until five years ago I took a year off work with chronic illness and started making bread almost every day, first as therapy, then out of fascination with being able to create something almost living, that was hand-made, creative, artistic and useful in my own small kitchen without any fancy equipment. After a while I didn't need recipes anymore, or even needed to measure much. I borrowed books from the library and read eveything I could about bread, moving on to master baker books. like 'Crust and Crumb" and even a manuel for building your own wood-fired oven.
Then, while on holiday in Scotland on the Isle of Iona, a local hotel needed a baker fast, mid-tourist season, and i stepped in, and worked there for a year, learning an enormous amount about baking on a larger scale and to a timetable.
I've been invoved in Bio-dynamic and Organic farming for many years and always use these ingredients, if I can. I'm not working in the food industry anymore but still bake all bread for home.
I live in Sydney, Australia, and would love to hear from anyone with the same interests or from Australia !
I posted this somewhere here a long time back, but thought I'd post again to make it easier to find. I'll try to remember to get some photos next time I make them before they get all eaten! I may try to make these into a sourdough recipe like JMonkey did here in order to use up excess starter...I'll report on that when I do, but for now, these just use baking powder.
This is a recipe I developed about 2 years ago that people seem to love. I make it with whole organic spelt flour as I like the nutty taste of spelt - an ancient form of wheat that has very little gluten, so it's not as good for rustic breads but great in quick breads. You can also use whole wheat flour equally well but may need to adjust amounts depending on humidity. I added the whole brown flaxseeds for roughage, texture, and hopefully some health benefits, although the most benefit is derived from raw ground flax.
What I like about this recipe is it does not contain dairy - which I am allergic to (although it does have eggs so it's not vegan). It is also a little less sweet by using dark brown sugar rather than white, and is not too spicy as I omit nutmeg or clove, opting for the combo of cinnamon and ginger instead. I also make this same basic recipe with bananas or frozen blueberries or chopped apple rather than pumpkin and all come out equally great. If you like a sweeter muffin, add more brown sugar. Obviously, this can be made in a loaf pan as well as in muffin tins, but adjust baking time and temp. accordingly:
Spelt Flaxseed Muffins
Ingredients (makes 12 large muffins or 24 small muffins):
4 Large Eggs
1 c. Vegetable Oil (Sunflower, Safflower, or Canola)
1 c. Dark Brown Sugar (maple syrup also tastes great as a sub but need a little more)
2 tsp. Vanilla
1 c. Whole Flax Seeds
Fruit of choice:
For Blueberry Muffins: 2 c. frozen or fresh blueberries
For Pumpkin Muffins: 2 c. canned pureed 100% pumpkin
For Banana Muffins: 3-5 overripe bananas, depending on size (I usually freeze them once they get too ripe so I always have some on hand)
For Apple Muffins: 4 apples, cored, peeled, and chopped into small pieces
3 c. Whole Spelt Flour (or substitute mixture of 2.5 c. whole wheat and unbleached white flours, if no spelt available. Wheat flours are drier than spelt, so use less or mixture will be too stiff, resulting in dense, heavy, "hockey puck" muffins).
1.5 tbsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Salt
2 tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 tsp. Ground Ginger
1) In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then mix in the remaining wet ingredients, then mix in your fruit of choice and the flaxseeds.
2) In a separate bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
3) Pour the dry ingredients into the wet, and stir. If batter comes out too dry, depending on humidity levels, flour type, or fruit size, then add about 1/8 cup of water or fruit juice. Finished batter should be stiff enough to spoon into muffin tins without it dripping all over, but not so stiff that the batter forms peaks.
4) Grease 12 large muffin cups (or 24 small muffin cups) with canola oil-type cooking spray.
5) Divide the batter up into the cups with a ladle or large spoon and rubber spatula.
6) Bake at 350 degrees F for 40-50 minutes for large muffins, or around 30 minutes for small muffins. Tap on top for doneness - they should be firm and crusty, not too soft or mushy.
7) When done, flip muffins out of pans onto cooling rack and let cool.
8) Use within a day or two, or refrigerate in plastic bags for up to 10 days or so. Freeze the rest for up to 6 months. Just reheat in a toaster oven and enjoy!
This past Sunday I made enough dough to make four loaves of bread using Daniel Leader recipe for San Francisco Sour dough.
This first photo is one of the two loaves I baked tonight, the dough having been in the refrigerator for two days. The crumb was open and the sourness buildup wasn't significant. Lousy photo but the coloration was browned well, I lightly sprayed the loaf with water then slashed, there was some tearing on these loaves from oven spring as well.
On the Sunday batch I used a glaze of one whole egg with a little water and a dash of salt. The coloration was nice and the crust was chewy instead of crisp which seemed to bring out more flavor. The glaze gave a nice texture and something I would like to experiment more with, maybe using just egg yoke. Even though the wash moistened the crust and I slashed the loaf. It expanded out the slashes and tore along the side.
After reading the recipe in "The Bread Baker's Apprentice" I finally got decent baguettes to come out of my oven. They even crackled as they were cooling! However, I sprayed the light bulb in my oven with water by mistake during the steaming phase, and it went "boom!" But it was worth it to finally get some success with this French bread.
Does anyone know where to buy bulk quantities of Instant Yeast

This weekend was a long weekend. Presidents' Day, we call it in the U.S., and presumably, it's a day on which we celebrate the birthdays of Washington and Lincoln. I don't know this for a fact, but I'm pretty sure both presidents ate sourdough bread at some point, given the scarcity and expense of baker's and brewer's yeast. So, in their honor, I baked sourdough. And apparently, the sourdough beasts were having a party as well -- perhaps it was my rigorous application of an 85 degree F final proof? In any case, the sourdough critters were mighty happy over the long weekend.On Monday, I made a couple of loaves of Five Grain Whole-Wheat Sourdough Sandwich Bread. I've never had sourdough rise like this before. And, wow, is it sour. I'm not sure what got the lactobacteria so excited -- the butter? the rye chops? the oats? who knows? -- but it is delicious, if, like my wife and I, you like sour bread. Here's how I made it:Ingredients:
I work in a bakery and I am having trouble with either having to much water in the dough or not enough. I know that weather has something to do with this but it is very frustrating . Any suggestions will help.
I thought I would share my results trying mountaindog's version of Country French. I didn't have exactly the right malt as called for in the formula so I substituted dry powder and a little raw sugar for the sweetener. I didn't get the airy crumb through out but there was nice activity in my wet starter which I am nursing back to a healthier condition. It's hard to see in the image but the crust is very thin and nice and crunchy. My family doesn't care for a thick chewy crust so I was going for a baguette style crust. I baked this in my new Steam Maker Bread Baker unit (background) with 15 seconds of hot steam injected, covered for 10 minutes then 20 more minutes of dry heat. The crust is incredible! Thanks mountaindog for the inspiration. I think this will be my new daily bread. The depth of flavor is very nice. I have another batch behind this one for tomorrow that I swapped some of the AP flour for King Arthur 7 grain. The combination of caramelized grains gives this a great aroma and chew.

City to take over Christmas parade
MORE: Read more news from Fredericksburg
The Fredericksburg Jaycees have organized the city's annual Christmas parade for 26 years, but that run has come to an end.
The Jaycees notified city officials this summer that they can no longer operate the event, City Manager Bev Cameron said Thursday.
But that doesn't mean the parade that draws thousands will be canceled.
The city's parks and recreation staff has picked up the mantle and recognizes the pressure the task brings.
"It's a Fredericksburg institution so, of course, there's some anxiety," said Wendy Stone, division manager for parks and recreation. "We just hope to do it justice."
She and Tiffany Capehart, the city's special events and marketing coordinator, will oversee planning for the parade.
They are looking for an event sponsor and a media sponsor and on Monday will post requests for proposals to the city's website.
The same day they will launch a website devoted to the event: Fredericks burgChristmasParade.com. By month's end, the site should have most of the essential information for volunteers and spectators, plus applications for entering a float.
Capehart said they will need between 45 and 60 volunteers to help with the event, which, as in years past, will be held on the first Saturday evening in December.
Finding volunteers proved to be a challenge for the Fredericksburg Jaycees last year.
In mid-November, they weren't sure whether the event would go forward because of a shortage of help.
But, after the need became public, people quickly responded to make sure the annual parade carried on.
For last year's parade, city officials instituted additional measures aimed at increasing safety and security, which added a bit more pressure to organizers.
But the parade took place without incident.
Early this year, the city checked in with the Jaycees to see what it thought about the 2014 parade, said Karen Hedelt, the city's director of economic development and tourism.
She noted the Jaycees' membership has been declining in recent years and city involvement in the event has been forced to increase, so city officials were being watchful.
"No matter who sponsors it, the city is judged by it," Hedelt said. "It's something that we have a huge level of interest in and concern for."
Jennifer Adkins, who has been one of the Jaycees parade organizers the past several years, said she wasn't part of the decision to withdraw, but recognizes there have been manpower issues.
She said she will meet with Capehart next week to share information from her years of planning.
Attempts to reach others with the Jaycees were unsuccessful.
Cameron said the city had been under the impression the Jaycees were going to run the parade again this year, but got word not long ago that they could not do it.
Given the timing, Cameron said the best option was for the city to run this year's parade. But he said that might not be the long-term solution.
"We're going to evaluate it after this year's experience," he said.
Pamela Gould: 540/735-1972
Anyone interested in serving as title sponsor or media sponsor for the Fredericksburg Christmas Parade should check the Request for Proposals under "bids" at fredericksburgva.gov starting on Monday.
People interested in volunteering or entering a float should check out FredericksburgChristmasPa rade.com starting on Monday.
This year's parade will be held on Dec. 6 at 5:30 p.m. and follow the same route as last year along Caroline and Princess Anne streets between Amelia and Wolfe.

Study finds boomer backlash against youth-obsessed TV
by Joel Keller, posted Nov 20th 2006 3:28PM
According to the AP, a study commissioned by rerun-centric network TV Land found that Baby Boomers -- still the largest segment of the population -- are becoming increasingly dissatisfied with the youth-oriented programs on TV these days.
The study found that 37 percent of boomers are unhappy with what's on TV, and 80 percent of all people over 40 say that they have trouble finding shows that they can find relatable to their own lives.

With Superstorm Sandy recently taking lives and homes when it recently hit the East Coast, a Wapakoneta Middle School student has been doing all she can — she even got her classmates involved.
Aliya Patterson, 11, organized a school-wide food drive, with students bringing in canned good food items and non-perishable goods to school to donate to Hurricane Sandy efforts.
Aliya, who is a member of Teens for Christ Ministries, was at a youth group meeting two weeks ago when the idea hit her.
Despite the re-election of President Barack Obama and Gov. John Kasich being in the middle of his term, Wapakoneta Mayor Rodney Metz says he has heard little regarding financial help for cities and villages from the state and federal government except that Local Government Funds will continue to decrease.
With the federal deficit and federal debt likely to be addressed, he said fewer dollars are likely to flow to the states and local governments in the form of grants and the number of unfunded mandates are likely to grow.
The 14th annual Festival of Trees closed Sunday and was deemed a success by both organizers and attendees alike at The Gardens at Wapakoneta.
The event, which began Wednesday, was held 1 to 8 p.m. through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday.
"It gets people in the Christmas mood," Community Health Professionals of Tri-County Marketing Coordinator Nike Duvall said. "It is an event that a lot of people look forward to and come to every year."

A Really Natural Looking Blush!
I tried the "Leigh" colour and was really surprised at how natural it looks. You can achieve a barely blushed look and it doesn't look artificially pink or orangey (really, how many of us blush a bright pink or peach?). What I also loved was that I could easily blend the edges with either the kabuki brush or a kitten-type brush and it looked perfect.
By Andrea on February 13, 2013
Pretty natural flush
This powder blush gives me just the right amount of natural looking flush, it's really pretty. Don't be put off by the word shimmer - it's just very light-reflecting, not sparkly or anything. Good for a light daytime touch as well as nighttime drama. I would recommend this to anyone.
By Alyssa on January 29, 2012
Lovely, but doesn't last.
I have this in guava and really like it - the color is really natural and there is not too much shimmer. Unfortunately, it doesn't last as long as I would like, but otherwise it is fantastic - really draws the eyes to the cheekbones!
By Michele on February 19, 2014
Beautiful Rosey Cheeks!
I received a sample of this blush in Zinnia and it is a gorgeous deep rose with a shimmer. It applies smoothly and can be sheered out. Zinnia is very heavily pigmented, so start with a light touch and build up to the color you would like. It has amazing staying power and a little goes a long way I am looking forward to trying some of the other colors in this line.

Directions for use
Dab the bristles of an Alima Pure Buff Brush or Kitten Brush into a small amount of blush. Tap the brush to shake off any excess blush and apply to the apples of the cheeks, blending evenly on both sides.

People will often put private sector vs government reimbursement. However I think both have problems. For example I believe private insurance causes more adminsitration cost to healthcare, on the other hand government payments are less.
I'm afraid unless changes in healthcare happen from Government, Private Insurance, and providers - Things will only get worse. Obama's healthcare is a joke. Now people will be spending money on paying for insurance, but not being able to afford to go to the doctor. Trust me it happens - I deal with it daily!

New York rapper AZ recently spoke on the possibility of reuniting with Nas, Foxy Brown, Nature and Cormega for a Firm reunion.
In addition to the possible reunion, AZ gave his thoughts on Nas' upcoming Distant Relatives collaboration album.
"The Firm album which came out in '97 featuring Nas, Foxy, myself, Nature and Cormega, we actually working on a couple of records so far," AZ revealed in an interview. "Nothing is confirmed, without Nas though, but with Foxy and Cormega, so anything is possible. Keep your eyes open, you dig? The Nas and Damian Marley joint, I mean it's cool. I didn't really get to hear it too much but it's good for hip-hop, it's all good." (Montreality)
Last December, there were reports of a reunion concert scheduled to take place in New York.
Former Firm members Foxy Brown and AZ will reunite in New York City for a rare performance together. Brown and AZ will hit the stage to perform during the DVD release of the movie Envy at New York City night club S.O.B.'s on Thursday December 10th. Foxy Brown and AZ will be joined by DJ Absolut, who will work the turntable during the evening, which will also includes surprise performances. Tickets for the show are on sale now and are priced at $20 for a limited time. (All Hip Hop)
However, later reports suggested a dispute took place between AZ and the event promoter.
Fans waited on line yesterday for hours to catch the show to no avail. Yet the concert was canceled after there was a dispute between the rap vet and the promoter of the show. XXLMag.com spoke to Larry Gold, a publicist at the venue, who assures ticket holders that they will be reimbursed. "95-99 percent of our shows we are dealing directly dealing with either the agent or manager," Gold explained. "And this is one of those shows that went through a middle party. So other than we are reaching out to the promoter today to find out really what happened. Sadly to say we are really in the dark." (XXL Mag)
Although ex-Firm member Nas was not billed to perform, SOHH had spoke with AZ about his relationship with the fellow Queens, New York emcee.
"I mean, I reached out to him, uhm, I think he's going through a couple of whirls, he's going through a lot of situations so we haven't really sat down and politic'ed and talked about everything," AZ explained. "Actually, I did reach out for this Doe Or Die 2, that's what I'm working on, the Doe Or Die 2 stuff. Raekwon did the Cuban Linx [2], and The Blueprint 3 and the Carter III and IV, so them sequels do good in the marketplace. So I'm trying to do this Doe Or Die 2, I reached out to him, I haven't gotten feedback as of yet, but like I said, look at what he's going through." (SOHH)

The western Nebraska village of Brady is joining nearby Maxwell in ending its country contract for police services and patrols.
Maxwell's village clerk told the Lincoln County commissioners last month that the village board had been forced to make tough budget decisions.
Brady's representatives told the commissioners Monday that they needed extra money to replace the village's sewage lagoon system.
Lincoln County Sheriff Jerome Kramer says that once the policing agreements with the county are terminated, his deputies would be required to respond to violations of state law only.
Brady's population is around 380; Maxwell's is around 320.

Feeding the Equity Pipeline: The Joint Educational Facilities Program
I noticed Dr. Jesse Bemley at conferences, but I was not sure who he is and what he does until this summer. When I was finally introduced to him, I found him to be a soft-spoken man but one with a can-do personality. You see, Bemley has created an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, Joint Educational Facilities, that works primarily with secondary school students, teaching them advanced computing sciences and contemporary mathematical topics with an emphasis on intelligent technologies.
JEF, based in the Washington, DC, area, has been working on leveling the playing field for minority students in science, mathematics, and technology since before equity initiatives started emerging. Thus far, JEF volunteers have helped more than 400 students complete their high school education and, in many cases, pursue undergraduate degrees.
"The JEF program, for the near term, is focusing its efforts on hands-on science for preschool and elementary school students and making use of resources on the Internet," Bemley says. "The long-term goals for JEF are related to 1) developing strategies to get more African American students (high school and undergraduate) published in professional technical publications and doing presentations at national and international conferences, symposia, etc., and 2) providing more students who can and will successfully move through the science and engineering pipeline from secondary school to doctorate degrees."
Much has been written about that pipeline, and it's clear to most observers that more must be done in the early grades to keep students in it. What hasn't been discussed much is the unrealized potential of nontraditional channels. In my opinion, without the proliferation of grassroots organizations such as JEF, along with higher expectations of African American students by their parents and teachers, the status quo will not change.

Editorial: Dow Constantine again for King County executive
The Seattle Times recommends Dow Constantine for King County executive.
Seattle Times Editorial
A MEASURE of Dow Constantine's success as King County executive is that no one of political heft filed to run against him.
His principal contender for the Aug. 6 primary, Alan Lobdell, 61, is a civil engineer who has worked in various cities and counties, has been once fired, twice bankrupt and never elected to public office. In political contributions, Constantine has outraised him by a ratio of 145-to-1.
Constantine, 51, is a liberal in a liberal county who has been constrained to govern in a financially conservative way. He says he has cut the rate of internal-cost inflation from 6 percent to between 3 and 4 percent and reduced the number of county employees from 14,000 to fewer than 13,000. He was wise enough to enlist his most accomplished 2009 primary opponent, Fred Jarrett, and to hire away the city of Seattle's finance director, Dwight Dively.
There have been missteps. In his haste to attract an NBA team, Constantine overlooked the trade dependence of the state. Along with Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn, he struck a deal to build an arena in Sodo with promoter Chris Hansen, over the objection of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union and the Port of Seattle.
Constantine didn't get the tax-increase authority he sought for King County Metro, and will have to be tougher on labor costs. From 2000 to 2009, under Executive Ron Sims, Metro improvidently allowed bus-driver pay to rise by 38.5 percent and become one of the highest in the country. The drivers agreed to skip a cost-of-living raise in 2010, but their compensation package is still too high.
The incumbent has sounded the right note on water quality, which is to maximize cleanup per dollar. He pushed hard for a tax proposal for roads and transit, with no victory yet. He has continued the innovative programs on employee health begun under Sims.
In his first term, Constantine focused inward on making government work better. He should resist the temptation to turn outward. There is more work to be done.

Old-school New York rapper Foxy Brown has been arrested, TMZ is reporting. Foxy was arrested for violating a restraining order her neighbour had against her by "verbally engaging" with them. Brown is currently in custody.
This isn't the first arrest for Foxy. She's been arrested multiple times in the last 10 years, and even went to jail for just under a year back in 2007 for violating her probation.
No word on whether the neighbour is going to press charges.

Civil Litigation Program in Action
Marjan Batchelor ('13) Wins Trial in Quincy Court
When a Vietnamese couple from Quincy, Massachusetts wanted to buy a house in the fall of 2009, they were referred to a nearby Vietnamese-speaking attorney. The first-time home-buyers had never finished high school and spoke little English, so they relied on their attorney for legal advice.
What the attorney didn't tell the couple is that he also represented Bank of America, the mortgage lender through whom the couple had applied for a loan. When his clients struggled to produce financing, he also didn't alert them that if they signed an amended purchase and sales agreement and still couldn't produce financing, they wouldn't get their deposit back.
The couple signed the amended agreement. Bank of America withdrew their funding when they learned the husband was no longer employed, and they soon lost the $13,000 deposit they'd placed on the house. That deposit was their life savings.
Marjan Batchelor ('13) isn't a lawyer yet, but on May 16, 2012, at the end of her second year at BU Law, she represented the couple in a trial in the Quincy District Court under the state's student practice rule and won.
"She conducted the entire trial," said Robert Burdick, director of BU Law's Civil Litigation Program, the clinic through which Batchelor got involved in the case.
Batchelor isn't the first student to assist on the case. Larry Perchick ('11) and Crystal Callahan ('12) completed initial research and preliminary discovery and filed a complaint in the Quincy court during their enrollment in the clinic. When the case finally reached trial this May, conducting formal discovery and trying the case fell to Batchelor, who had been taking depositions and counseling the clients during her two semesters in the program.
"I found that being in a clinic brought so much of what I learned in class to life."
It was Batchelor's cross-examination of the defendant that made the biggest impression on her professor. "In my opinion, it was her cross-examination of the defendant which won us the case," Burdick said. "It brought tears to my eyes. The first cross-examination of her career was a masterpiece. It's why I do this job."
The judge agreed. He ruled that, as Batchelor had argued, the case was one of legal malpractice, and he ordered the $13,000 be paid to the couple by their former lawyer.
The case "reinforced my desire to be in the courtroom," Batchelor said. "I was already interested in being a trial attorney before law school, but the experience of taking depositions, counseling clients, and appearing before a few different judges helped it all seem within reach. I didn't expect to have a chance to do any of these things until several years into my career as an attorney."
Batchelor acknowledged that there were some major challenges along the way. "One of the biggest challenges was probably the fact that opposing counsel was a very experienced attorney. Here I was, a year into law school trying to negotiate settlement with an attorney who has been practicing law for decades. I was initially pretty worried that he would never take me seriously, but although he zealously advocated for his client, he always treated me as an equal," she said. "I learned how to hold my own even though I had far less experience."
Batchelor urges all BU Law students to take part in a clinical program.
"I found that being in a clinic brought so much of what I learned in class to life. It also gave me a much stronger sense of purpose and focus," she said. "Getting constant feedback helped me kick-start the process of familiarizing myself with what will benefit me and what I still need to work on to be a great attorney."
