Outbackbob48:
A little stormy and chilly weather here today so I thought I would bake some No Knead bread in the ole Dutch oven. Been baking about 2 loaves a week all winter. Simple ingredient's and easy to do, Excellent results also . UMMMM Bob
Pat B:
Yummy, fresh out of the oven bread with lots of butter. I could go for that.
Will you share your recipe, Bob?
Outbackbob48:
Pat, here is the way that I did it.
3 cups of flour
1TBSP of active yeast or 1 packet
1tsp of salt
1-1/2 cups of your hottest tap water
Mix your ingredients in a bowl and then cover and let set for 3 hrs in a warm spot, or until dough doubles in size.
Next I set oven for 450 and preheat my Dutch oven and lid, this takes about 30 min. At the same time I dump bread dough on to floured surface and take a spatula and turn dough in to it self 12 times, place dough on a pc of parchment paper and put back in bowl for 30 min. while oven is preheating. When oven is up to 450 place parchment paper and dough in Dutch oven, cover and cook for 30 min at 450, at the end of 30 minutes pull lid off of oven and cook 10 more minutes or until your bread is as brown on top as ya like. Get some butter ready cause it is good, UMMM. I have been doubling ingredients and make the small loaf in a bread pan just shorten cooking by 10 minutes on the loaf pan. Easy no kneading even I can make bread. Been cooking a double batch once a week and is about right amount for the 2 of us. Good Luck and let me know how it turns out. Bob ps. My wife places thermometer in middle of loaf and says it is done when it hits 190.

I decided to go to the St Joe Cafe for lunch yesterday
I didn't see a dead deer going up but saw what looked like a monster doe on my way back. I stopped and it was a monster buck that had lost its antlers. It looked fresh but I couldn't tell for sure, it was going onto rigor which means it may have been there a few hours.
About that time my brother-in-law came by, I stopped him to see if he had seen the deer on his way to the barn, he hadn't but did say there was a van pulled off at the honkytonk across the street with whole front end mashed in that had been there since early this morning.
We discussed it and decided the deer had been there too long, it was so huge I couldn't have loaded in my Honda anyway although I keep a tarp in my car just in case I need to haul home a road kill. All that meat going to waste, at least 100lbs worth.
I looked up the onset of rigor and it said 5 or 6 hours for the main trunk, this deer's front shoulders were in rigor, it had been in the sun too long.
I hate to miss out on a good roadkill, here we can pick them up and take them home, no questions asked, no need to contact the DNR. Over the years I have picked up 3, two of which I saw get hit, one near my house wasn't on the side of the road when went to town but was when I came back about 45 minutes later.
My last fresh roadkill, still steaming when I cut it up.
