Last night when my husband got home from work, I informed him of my list of things I wanted to accomplish before bed so that he could help ensure that I/we accomplished all items. Several items on that list had to do with tonight's dinner. I had just purchased some pork shoulder roasts the other day with the intention of making BBQ pulled pork. In doing some research on recipes, I came across a spice mix that was rubbed on the pork 3+ hours in advance of cooking. Let me tell you, that spice-rubbed pork sitting in my crock-pot all day has been smelling GOOD!!
Another item on the list was this:
My favorite part of the library right now is the cooking section. New cookbooks with recipes to try, and just information on cooking in general. While browsing this section last week, I came across a novel called "The art of eating in: How I learned to stop spending and love the stove." It was written by a gal who lived in NY and decided not to eat out for 2 years, and blogged about it through those years. Now she has written a book about it. While reading said book, I came across a recipe for 'No-knead Bread'. I'm sure I've heard about it before and all, but never really looked at a recipe and realized how easy this bread would be. The biggest factor in this bread, is that the dough has to sit for a minimum of 12 hours, and is even better after 18 hours. So last night, I mixed together bread dough, and spiced the pork.
I just had a piece of fresh bread..mmmm yummy! And it looks like a loaf found at a bakery! I think I just might be sold. If it still tastes just as good tonight when we have it for dinner, I think I might be making "no-knead bread" on a very regular basis.
Well, it sounds as though my son is waking up from his nap and the pork is just about in need of shredding...gotta run!

The bread looks delicious! I love a good bread. Happy recipe hunting! There are so many neat recipes in cyberspace. I appreciate recipe recommendations, especially. Any help weeding through the mediocre recipes to find the excellent ones is appreciated! Keep it up! :)
Wow, Lindsay - the bread looks great! I think I have a similar recipe from a book called (I think) Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I haven't made any recently (you need some space in the fridge) but now I think I need some! :) Hope you all are well. Hugs!
Good job, Lindsay! That bread is beautiful! :-) Your pulled pork sounds amazing too. Will you share the recipes?!! :-)
