I hope you made it back okay, LLM! I read there was some kind of malfunction at RDU airport yesterday that was not related to the hurricane.

Eek, I didn’t hear about that. I got back very early in the morning, and everything seemed ok. I was definitely nervous about flying out Friday morning but it all went smoothly; there was a lull in the storm.

HOLIDAY AND CELEBRATION BREAD IN FIVE MINUTES A DAY is nominated.

Do you know if any of the Five Minutes a Day baking cookbooks give weight measurements, or are there only volume measurements? I switched to weights for baking years ago and can’t go back!

I just took a look at one of them, New Artisan Bread in Five Minutes, and the ingredients are all listed in a grid with volume and US and metric weights for each.

Thanks! That’s very helpful.

Anyone? Holiday season is coming up fast, with lots of occasions for baking treats.

HOLIDAY AND CELEBRATIONS
BREAD IN FIVE MINUTES A DAY is my nomination

How about baking from the NEW YORK TIMES, making it a megapalooza NYT quarter when combined with COTM? Just a thought…

Great idea – actually both the COTMs have plenty of baking – the other one is Nigel Slater’s The Christmas Chronicles

SWEET ENOUGH is my nomination

I think the idea is that those of us who do have access will be happy to share gift links to desired recipes (quoting loosely from the COTM thread). I typically have more than I need to use, and will happily provide. Others have indicated likewise. Also, there is always the book, which has been out long enough to be available through the library.

Not perfect, but workable if enough people are interested.

Lots of recipes available out there, plus lots of us with access who can gift links.

Yes, I will always be happy to post gift links from NYT. I won’t nominate or vote because I can’t promise to be an active participant. I will join in whatever is chosen when I am able. I read the posts and can post NYT gift links even if I can’t cook along.

Yep, I can also post links, and will happily do so.
