Unfortunately, she recently forgot to keep some out while baking, so the remainder of the colony was in my care. I hadn’t baked anything for a couple of months and when I went to use it my starter turned everything grayish. Yuk! So, I got online and did the same as you – made a new starter. I let my no-knead sourdough ferment for about 12 hours, and it was in March, so the bacteria weren’t that active. I did get some larger bubbles in my bread. Here’s a photo of my result: http://picasaweb.google.com/mxmossman/NoKneadBread/photo#5184871602858396226 My grandmother passed along to me a sourdough starter that had been going since the early 60’s.

I swear by the pizza recipe/instructions in Jeffrey Alfords Flatbreads and Flavors. Hello Veronica - it was nice to see you at the ORSLA thing and be reminded that you exist.

Until the competitive shelving competitions begin that is. Trust me… Yeah, I hear the competitive cooking circuit is really dog-eat-dog; library studies must be the safer route.

It’s true – there is very little pork involved in this recipe which makes it ill-suited to be called “cassoulet.” I was trying to make a slightly lighter (ha!) version of the dish and though it isn’t quite as good as the real thing, it is pretty satisfying. And thanks for the tip about Castagna, too – I’ll have to try that out! Thanks, Heather!

The recipe can be found here: Autumn Comfort Mac I’ve also added a note to the website saying that comments are being moderated. Thanks for reminding me to change that – I’ve been meaning to say that for a long time now!
