No-Knead Bread Recipe

Wed, 23 Mar 2016 00:00:00 +0000

This sourdough recipe will yield artisan loafs without any kneading. I have combined a no-knead bread technique from the Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day by Jeff HertzBerg and Zoe Francois with the ingredients and techniques from a Wild Yeast Blog post on Norwich Sourdough. The Norwich Sourdough inclusion of rye flour gives the loaves an extra bite complimentary to the tangy sourdough, all without ever needing to touch the dough. The hands-on time spent actually paying attention to these loaves is minimal making this recipe a low commitment, but yields delicious results.

Menorah

Tue, 08 Dec 2015 00:00:00 +0000

Candles need a home come time for 25th of Kislev, the beginning of Hanukkah. And what better home than a unified carving of sugar maple and white oak?

This menorah grasps an ordered natural character. The compliment of curves between the base and the legs of the menorah suggest the menorah grew out of its volition, while the symmetry of the base and legs tame the foundation. The expansive negative space promoted by the legs demonstrates the strength of the natural architecture. The arch gives purpose to the growth of the legs. The waving edge-on grains in the arch characterize the menorah as an elegant individual, prepared for eight days of light.
