Wait a minute! Do I know you you? Have you been in Revels? This is Carmen, the Revels PSM.

If you are not Kimberly the fiddle player gnomo with Ray Price, lovely dancer and all around good person, my sincere apologies. I am not a total crackpot!

I am glad you mentioned the stonebuhr flour, we have been using Fairhaven Mills too. I was so excited to find flour that was even mostly locally processed. Are you using the emmer flour in a 1 to 1 replacement for standard winter wheat flour?

I make the no knead bread all the time and would love to use emmer.

Your photos are always fresh! Say, Greg over at Eat Local has marked down some vinegars to $2 a bottle. I took home a bottle with tarragon and another with garlic scapes, which is too lovely to open but this recipe might make me do it.

That Asian pear vinegar sounds delightful.

We’ve been making the Cook’s Illustrated no-knead with sourdough (minus the vinegar and sometimes the beer) and have had fabulous results – once you get the starter going (and try again if it doesn’t work the first time!) I highly recommend it.

We’re just beginning to get some local grains here – it’s definitely the big hole in our local-foods landscape. Glad to hear you’ve found some!
