I’ve made two loaves of the no-knead artisan bread, and I’m here to tell you, it’s freaking amazing. Go buy the book, go grab a giant bag of flour, and get right to it. You will not be sorry.

Oh, and while they say to use a pizza stone, I didn’t have one, and I’m trying to get rid of stuff, not go buy more (ironically enough, my pizza stone was sold at our garage sale a few weeks ago). Instead, I used my Le Creuset Cast-Iron Bistro/Pizza Pan, which apparently they don’t make anymore (I couldn’t find it on Amazon, which is where I got it a few years ago). It works beautifully.

I would have posted this earlier, but I’ve been having a lot of anxiety troubles the last few days. Due to the bread? I doubt it. I’m not willing to speculate, it could be any number of things, but I did decide tonight that I want to try an elimination diet soon. Greg said he fully supports this, and he’ll be there for me, but that he wants me to come up with some menus and recipes before I dive in – otherwise I’ll flounder and just not eat for long stretches of the day, which is worse for the anxiety than the wrong food.

I’ll let you know when I get started! And I’m sure you’ll enjoy the daily reports of my suffering.
