This looks great, although I now have to make yet another order from King Arthur; this time for boiled cider, apple pie spice.apple corer and sparkling coarse sugar. On the one hand, I've become a disciple of some strange kind of mail order food cult. On the other, I haven't bought any kind of bread or cake in over two months and I really enjoy the kitchen work even though I never thought I would. Thanks for the blog. Its great. And I don't know who takes the photos, but they're also really great. Allan, thanks for your very kind comments - and thanks for joining the fun! There's something very compelling and satisfying about baking your own bread, and other treats, as well. Creative, and a good way to share. Kitchen work isn't work when it's avocation, not vocation, right? I look forward to hearing from you again - PJH
