i’ve seen some things
for bread with a superior crust, i put an old cast iron pan on the bottom rack of the oven. when the loaves go in, i dump a kettle-full of boiling water to simulate the ice cubes in the dutch oven. gives the top a glossy crunch.

my chirurgeon says my “humours are ill-balanced” and prescribed a rare species of leech be applied thrice per fortnight. thank the gods for universal hirudinea-care because i would never make enough silver to afford these little freaks on my own
