Miss Tickle

Caterina is making no.knead cheese bread with jalapenos

without the jalapenos

the dough has sat all night near the heater to rise

it looks good

so what's the big deal about kneading ?

why does one not need to knead ?

it is so easy to do

fun, too

(Caterina is definitely gonna knead this dough!)

KnitterMe says

it is like the knitters who balk at picking up stitches

when shaping the gusset for the top down socks

picking up stitches is exactly what  knitting IS

kneading the dough is exactly what bread making IS


Caterina asks

how can one not want to knead a perfect dough that

when perfect

has the "feel" of a well developed bosum

(Skaterina had a friend years ago who had the perfect bosum

she was a slender woman with generous breasts

so hugging her was getting a good dose of the mamms

and not just cuz the woman was maybe well padded all over


KnitterMe and Caterina heave Big Sighs

knit and knead are the themes of the day
