Some things are completely worth the wait, and sourdough bread is one of them. Sadly, I seem to be too much of a commitment-phobe for the starter thing.

P.S. I wonder what would happen if you "innoculated" your no-knead dough with a spoonful of live yogurt (contains lactobacillus). Might be worth a try, although I know that too much lactic acid, ...
King Arthur (online and via mail order) sells something that says it's to punch up the sour flavor in sourdough. I can't remember what it's called offhand, but a browse through their myriad breadm...

Can you just take the blue cabinet doors off entirely for an open shelving l...
I won one at a cooking class, and since everything else silicone is fabulous, I figured this would be too. NOT.
I hated it. Went straight into the donate box before I even finished rolling ...

Rods for sliding doors whatever are one of my pet peeves because they always need a support bracket in the middle, and I am a drapery to one side kind of girl. I have always solved this problem wi...

So, we pine away for and covet Riedel at $20 a stem and then adulterate their beauty with these? Um, no.
Holy. Crap. And it has a kitchen? I think I just lost my mind a little. Valium, anyone?
Totally cool. If only this were in the U.S. Would have saved me a lot of work :)
