From This to That: No Knead Bread

What can I do with my food storage?
You can turn this:

Use the recipe found here.
The M family told me they made this bread three times! Sister M pointed out I had cut off the necessary 1 cup of water in the email I sent out. Make sure you add that! Oh, and in the picture above, I forgot the butter or oil. I'm pretty sure it didn't make it into the bread either, but it still turned out OK. Sister M used pure maple syrup and said it was great (I used molasses, but will definitely try the maple syrup.) The next time, she used brown sugar (1 Tablespoon molasses + 1 cup white sugar.) Then Brother M couldn't believe how easy it was and he made the third loaf!

The batter should be like a thick pancake batter. Here's how mine looked:

I made it in a kitchen aid, the M family used a hand mixer and I have made it with just a wooden spoon before. Super easy!

June 30th Playgroup

We're testing a park we've never been to before... Shadow Glen park. It's on Oak between Walnut and Mimosa. There's no parking lot, just park on the street and walk on the sidewalk. We'll be the between 10 and 11.

June 22 Playgroup

We could be having some more rainy weather tomorrow, so we're going to take it indoors. Inge's house at 10:00. Call me for directions if you need to!

June 9th Playgroup

We're going to meet at the Clute Municipal Park that is red and blue (#2?) at 10am. It should be very shaded at that time. Just bring bug spray and hopefully we're not too crazy to be trying a park. This is near the Clute Library, so if things get out of control with bugs, that is plan B.
