Today must be "Knights of the Sourdough" Friday baking
Just popped this one of the Dutch oven and putting in the next one
100 % sourdough ( no yeast used ) , crumb shot to come
edit: oops I did not include my lamb in the shot
I'm sure you had a lambsfoot in your pocket when you were baking the bread and taking the picture, right? Just include two in the next photo.
Most capable.
Good Afternoon Guardians. May you all have a good and safe weekend.

From the Daily Mail.
Thanks, guys.
I may be partly to blame for the weather. I haven't quite put away all the Christmas decorations, so the local angels may be confused. Or impatient.
Made for a cool pic though
Just a quick stop in to post a pic.
I'llllll be baaack.
Happy Friday, All!
It's been an extremely busy week so I've just barely been able to keep up in lurk-and-skim mode. Sounds like I'm not alone in that regard. It's lovely seeing the gardens starting to take shape.
Jack, sorry to hear about your back. I hope you're back to fine form quickly.
I snuck in some pre-dawn sourdough mixing this morning, let it rise and proof throughout the course of the day, and pulled the finished loaf out of the oven about an hour ago. Looking forward to cutting into it in an hour or so after it's cooled enough.
Wishing everyone a great weekend!
Here ya go.
I've been carrying my Hartshead Barlow quite a bit since I got it.
The steel they used on it, while it isn't stainless, doesn't seem to patina up as quick as the GEC knives I am used to.
The steel isn't a great deal different. I think you'll find it'll patina ok, as you can see from the many photos here Crumb shot
I am not sure what I am aiming for but it tastes delicious
TWO LAMBS
How do you guys keep your family ( and yourself ) from NOT cutting up hot bread and start eating it right away ?

, glad you're continuing to get better my friend. I don't know if anyone has anything exciting planned for the weekend, but either way, have a good one. Take care, and stay safe Guardians 
I hope that you improve Jack. I'm hunkered down for the weekend and about the only outdoor activity planned is a little yard work. Here's a recycled photo of my HHB and an old wheel barrow made from Cypress wood that is the residence of a potted fern.Nice photos
It certainly LOOKS delicious Dan, well done
Good morning Guardians, it genuinely came as a surprise when I realised it was Saturday! Guess it doesn't make a great deal of difference to many of us at the moment. Hope everyone is doing ok. I'm afraid I'm still struggling with my back. I was just thinking of @Ramrodmb, who hasn't been here much for a while. Hope you're doing ok Mark. Also Dennis of course.

Another snowy day in paradise
Hope the back feels better soon
Sorry about the huge pic!
Hope you get some better weather soon 
Sorry to hear your back is still bothering you. Hopefully you'll get some relief soon.

Carrying my Hartshead to send good wishes to Jack... May your back start to feel better.
Thank you Dave, a loaf and then some is already gone this morning

SFO Hartshead. I believe the blade steel is C70. Jack can say for sure if he runs across this post.
