The old no-knead

Wow.

Is that bread shot dramatic, or what?

I think I must've been on speed or something today. This morning? Just whipped up some sweet potato-cranberry muffins. Like it weren't no thing. (I always plan to throw in a spare sweet potato when I'm baking other things, and never do. This week I did.)

But as if that weren't enough, I threw together a good-but-n0t-great soup of collards, kale, potatoes and (still cooking my way through my freezer) cannellini beans.

And to top it all off, I threw my most recent attempt at the infamous no-knead bread in the oven. I started it last night while 3 or 4 quarts of beef stock were simmering away merrily. (So come to think of it, the erratic behaviour actually started last night.)

And the bread? Gorgeous. Best rise I've managed. Just look at it! Doesn't it look like it could take on the world?
