I’ve attempted ciabatta once, but was not thrilled with the results – the holes were not as large as those in the pic. you posted. Will try yours soon.

Tip: An article re the best white cake mixes had a surprising winner. Walmart’s Great value cake mix. It beat out Betty Crocker n Duncan Hines. There was 1 that actually was #1, but I had never heard of it, and the article said that since it sold for more than $5 a box, they recommended Walmart’s at $ 0.98!!!

My Fav. has defaulted to Japanese Milk Bread. I just Googled it, and a slew of recipes came up. It’s realllly soft white bread, that keeps fresh for much longer than most home-made breads. The secret is : You have to COOK a few spoons of flour in a combination of milk and water and when it’s cool enough, incorporate it into the reg. dough. I l.o.v.e bread of every kind , but (my bad) especially white bread.

hi to all.

Nope, you’re incorrect. It IS three syllables as you suggest, but it is Jew-el-ry. But the 1st syllable is practically run into the 2nd, so it still (but not quite) sounds like 2 syllables. But NEVER Jew-Ler-Ry. Never!

Being crotchety is always a sure sign that one is on the mend! That, and eating.

to, not too.
