The only change I made was that instead of sugar I used honey.
No Knead French Bread
1 pkg. dry yeast
1 1/2 c. warm water
1 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. soft shortening
4 c. sifted all purpose flour
Measure flour into bowl, add water, then yeast. Let yeast dissolve thoroughly. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Let set 10 minutes, then cut through dough with a wooden spoon. Do this 5 times at 10 minute intervals. Turn dough out on floured board and divide in half. Let rest for 10 minutes, then roll each ball into a loaf. Make several diagonal slashes across each loaf. Let rise double. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
So there was a football game on today and I made some stuff to eat while watching the game.
I had never made beets before. I have opened a can or two but never handled a fresh beet. I was at Stew Leonard's yesterday and picked up a couple. My friend Heidi told me how to prepare them and gave me an idea on how to serve them.
My hands turned red! I was peeling the beets and noticed this... Anyway I peeled the beets and sliced them about 1/8 inch thick. Tossed them in olive oil and placed them on a cookie sheet in a single layer, sprinkled them with salt and roasted them at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.

my first loaves of basic white bread only took 3 hours total. I was blown away because I used to think it took so long to do breads.... silly me...
