This is the third attempt (Thanksgiving was #2) of the no-knead bread technique popularized by Mark Bittman earlier this month.
Going mostly by weight:
Flour (370g bread flour, 100g spelt flour)
Water (350g)
Salt (10g, about 1.75 teaspoons)
Yeast (0.25 teaspoons)
The approximates the 3 cups of flour to 1.5 cups of water ratio, and resulted in a drier dough upon [...]

Turkey, fresh, about 12lbs from Westside Market, brined and prepared along the lines of this Good Eats recipe, but using a turkey roasting bag. The brining was done in one of those giant XL Ziploc bags. Note that the big Ziploc had a slow leak, and it was a good thing I put [...]
The previous weekend, we went to Mansfield Prison as part of Grace’s local college alumnae seasonal get-together. While we missed the alum group because of a late start, we did go through the annual the Haunted Prison Experience run at the old prison. It’s the first time we went through one of those [...]

It’s neat, but you have to save a copy to your own Google account before you can modify the values. There are a couple issues, having to do with dependent variables that aren’t well linked to other [...]

We picked up two Netgear WG511T PCMCIA cards, got the Auditor’s Security Collection as of around June [...]
Here’s an interesting piece by someone reverse engineering Patsy’s pizza. I don’t intend to violate warranty/lease/fire codes by disabling the safety features of my oven in order to achieve 800F temperatures, but the dough techniques he discusses are informative.
Pizza is bread, and I’ve started using his “The Wet-Kneading Technique with Autolyze” on, say, multigrain [...]

NPR : Celebrating Late Summer’s Basil Bonanza
A little too late on my part; I think I missed out on the cheap, abundant, fresh basil at Westside Market. Oh, well, next year.
Interestingly, our building is going [...]
This is to address the case where Cyrus IMAP runs out of log memory. Documentation on how to do deal with this is scattered around on a number of web pages, so I thought I’d consolidate things in one place.
/var/log/maillog shows the following messages:
DBERROR db4: Logging region out of memory; you may need to [...]
On Fedora Core 5, I did a relatively minimal installation (By the way, whoever set up the ISO images for the most minimal installation options I could find (and still have a system I could quickly get to work with) managed to go just over one CD by a package or two. This would [...]
