OH MY GOD!!!!!!! This is the most fabulous stuff ever !!! I just took
out of the oven but couldn't wait for it to cool at all and I LOVE
it... I used the innerlodge for the basic dough but had to add water
as my starter left it too dry. THEN I received the "Bread Bakers
Apprentice" last nite and I followed those directions for
rising-folding and proofing. they also had an herb oil that I made to
put on it, I used EVOO, basil, tarragon, oregano & granulated
garlic...also topped with sliced olives, don't have those kala---???
whatevers, so used canned Calif olives.... I could hardly stand not
eating the raw dough everything smelled sooooooooo good even before
baking.. I took pic and will upload and show y'all if you want to
see... THANK YOU all again for all your help.... If we were neighbors
I'd be sharing right now LOL !!!!! :-) nancy

Oh yeah... the one with the weird yellow & pea green kitchen and obnoxious
voice, I quickly change the channel if I accidentally land there when she's
on... I forgot her name.

Well, I do know who Rachel Ray is but my Italian family was calling it
EVOO before Rachel was born, before Kennedy was president. Italians
think it is good for EVERYTHING. Why does that remind me suddenly of
"My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and Windex? LOL!
Hmmmm, so maybe I'm distantly related to Rachel? I'd say she clearly
drinks pleanty of cappucinos, and not decaf ones!
Think I'll go rub some of that EVOO on my poor tired feet. <G>

HI Marylousie,

Do you use EVOO for cooking? We sell a good range of it along with the
cheaper types. Our Oil merchant always tells people not waste their
money on Extra Virgin as you loose the subtle flavours in the cooking.
So, I've always bought two types. What do you think, speaking as an
Italian?

By the way, a recent study on olive oil has found that storing it in
the light breaks down all the beneficial anti-inflammatories. So keep
it in a dark cupboard if it's in a glass bottle and you want more
benefit other than taste. 50 ml a day has the same anti-inflammatory
effect as a small dose of ibuprofen.

Jim

Prounced Ee-Vee-Oh-Oh. Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Picked up from a TV
food channel program, from someone who needs to make a point she's not
using simple 'olive oil.'

Such a wonderful book! I borrowed it from the library about 10 times
before I bought it, silly me.

Have you seen Jeffrey Hamelman's _Bread: A Baker's Book of Techniques
and Recipes_? Have I already mentioned it 5 times this week? LOL Have
I had my fish oils today? It's also a fabulous teaching book. I
bought it sight unseen and it quickly became covered in yellow
highlighting and notes in the margins. Great book.

Hint: If you buy bread books from the BBGA site they get a percentage,
and they are a fantastic group. It sends you to Amazon so the book cost
is regular Amazon cost, frequently the least expensive. You don't need
to be a member of the BBGA to shop that way, tho membership is open to
home bakers and BBGA has a fantastic list and other benefits. I wish
I'd joined years ago.

I look forward to seeing them.
Your enthuiasm is great, Nancy.

Enjoy-
Marylouise
