Jinxed myself in that post.
I wanted to bake bread and cookies this evening. I'm out of butter, and if I use the eggs in the cookies, I can't have them for breakfast tomorrow. It's dark, snowing, 25°F, winds SW @ 15 mph.
So I geared up, rode to the store and got butter and eggs. The bread dough is rising now. I'll start the cookies after dinner, when the oven is on anyway for the bread.
Fresh bread for the morning and cookies for tonight are far more important than worrying about some dumb old snowstorm.
Plus you burned off some of the calories!
Have you tried the newer recipes for no-knead bread that you bake in a dutch oven? The bread is fantastic--like a crusty loaf from an artisanal bakery, but $1 a loaf instead of $6. It's almost no work, but the recipe I used does take nearly 24 hours from start to finish. I did carry the ingredients home on my bike, but all it takes is flour, 1/4 tsp. yeast and some salt and water.
