I sometimes dream about having such oven, but I have always thought that it would be a complex project to construct and maintain. I guess I am not single-focused and so I am wary of committing too many resources to one thing. I don't see kefir in your list. I have been playing with the grains you gave me ever since I came back. At some point I hope to stop and sit down to write about the versatility of kefir. Nice job with the pasta!Simona Carinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10621645217450504400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050892686007530239.post-89321159076726916972012-01-26T11:50:43.928-10:002012-01-26T11:50:43.928-10:00Thank you all, and John I would love any photos of...Thank you all, and John I would love any photos of your bread oven.

If you're interested, I'll send you a photo of mine. One big mistake I made was not putting enough insulation ON TOP of the oven -- the heat just flitted away. I could also have spent more time figuring out the direction of the prevailing wind, which perhaps would have explained why the fire had the irritating habit of going out. So much to learn! Later, located in an urban setting, I volunteered to get up first thing in the morning and go downtown to fire up a wood burning oven at an artisanal bakery (as well as mix up a fresh batch of sourdough!). It was such a difference working with a real French bread oven, although I did manage to burn myself severely before I learned sufficient caution (can send you a photo of that, too).<br /><br />However, enough about me. Your recipe is well thought out and the series of photographs showing how you made it will, I think, inspire much imitation. As I get older, I'm less hostile to cooked tomato dishes, but my heart still leaps up when I see something like this ... and start to mutter "Damn the tomatoes! Full speed ahead.) <br /><br />Finally, yes, the way some unknown vegetable can seize hold of you and make you take it home simply because it looks so intriguing. I last did that with some bitter melon, then dithered for a week before working up the nerve to actually cook it. It was so good I rushed back to get more, but it had vanished, and I haven't seen it again. <br /><br />Thanks for writing so interestingly about my book; a great joy for any author, I think. ~ JohnJohn Thornehttp://www.outlawcook.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3050892686007530239.post-23509631354540729722012-01-24T02:06:13.097-10:002012-01-24T02:06:13.097-10:00This book sounds like such an inspiring read!
