Like most of you it has been hectic here with shopping and baking and visiting. Last evening while picking up a few salad items for tonight's dinner I began speaking with the produce boy at the super-market about possibly getting some greens for our chickens. He was so helpful. After getting the manager's permission he provided us with a huge bag (the size of one of those big leaf bags) full of leafy green vegetables! The girls will be so excited. Since it's been difficult for them to find even a few blades of grass lately, they should welcome these treats.
Today I am baking two loaves of No-Knead Bread to take to our daughter's home tonight for Christmas eve dinner. It is delicious and absolutely the easiest bread to make. 100% no kneading and only 4 ingredients which are combined with a spoon to make a somewhat moist batter, then it sits overnight 18-24 hours, after which it goes into an earthenware covered dish or a cast iron dutch oven for 45 minutes. I will post the recipe for you later.
All for today. It's time to get the bread into the oven and organize the gift bags into the car.... and so much more to do. We are also driving out to central PA tomorrow to visit Nick's family and see our latest grandson for the first time! Can't wait.
Have a safe and joyous holiday!
