The Sky is Crazy here...

We've been getting a lot of low lying clouds and fog, so when the sun breaks through, we are treated to some stunning light effects...


On this day, it seemed we had searchlights from the heavens (sorry about the blurr)...


The view walking down to work in the morning through the city...


Some no-knead bread I decided to experiment with. The thing is practically no work at all - just mix a few ingredients (flour, salt, water & a tiny bit of yeast) and let it sit and rise for between 12 - 18 hrs, then form it into two loaves, let it rise for an hour and pop it into the oven in a covered pot... my first attempt turned out not bad...


On my next attempt, i got kind of busy and ended up letting it sit for closer to 24 hours. It didn't turn out as well - seemed to have an unpleasant edge to the taste and the texture wasn't as nice, probably because of the over-fermenting. So... if you're lazy, but like the taste of homemade bread, this might be the recipe for you.

One of those extended sunsets we get here...
