A simple bread recipe which requires almost zero effort, is pretty much impossible to get wrong and can be cooked in a Dutch oven? That would be the hugely popular No Knead Bread then.

Amber ran a half marathon this morning, while Sarah cheered from the sidelines and I supported her in my dreams (the 5am start was too early for me). Lunch at Radio Maria followed by cupcakes from Cakes on Walnut in way of celebration.

I was excited to see that Bodum offer polycarbonate beakers for their French Presses, especially since I recently smashed our glass beaker. But alas the Bodum FAQs shattered my plans for a non-breakable replacement.
Hi, I was looking at your replacement parts online. I’m [sic] need a new glass container for my French press. I was wondering if your SPARE GLASS 8 CUP POLYCARB is interchangeable with your SPARE GLASS 8 CUP?
I’d rather have the unbreakable one since that’s what just happened with my old one.
Unfortunately, the spare glasses, and the spare polycarbonate beakers cannot be used interchangeably as the filter pieces to each one are different. If you originally purchased a French press with a glass beaker, then you would need the replacement glass beaker.

KGM: “What about the aircraft itself? McDonnell Douglas 82.”
CJG: “Well it’s a total write off as far as I can understand.”
KGM: “Well, I mean the type of aircraft, what is its safety record?”
