Garlic Harvest and the Ultimate Toast
Today we brought in the garlic! The digicam I've been using is on the fritz, so no pix for now, but I dug up a test plant and checked various garlic sources and decided today was the day. Pulled up, brushed off, and hung up to dry in the shed about 130 bulbs, 70 German White and 60 Roja Espanola. My Stella Natura calendar says it's a leaf day, and thie harvest would have been better done on a root day, but this is the day I have. And because the soil was nice and loose from the daily rains lately, some of them felt like they were jumping from the earth.
My sweet baboo made no knead bread which was, hands down, the best bread I've ever had. And I'm not usually one for such superlatives. But y'know that old question, if you had to pick one fill-in-the-blank to have on a desert island...? Well, this is that bread. The day long rising time makes for the big yeast caves inside moisty breadparts. Then there's the just thick enough perfectly crunchy crust. All artisanal and everything, like the $7 loaves you'd buy at the Boulangerie Shi Shi if you had it like that, but for under 50 cents in ingredients. Mmm, so good.
Ah, independence, or the occasional illusion thereof!
