 While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday and the most delicious finds on TV. How dough you do? November 17 is Homemade Bread Day and National Baklava Day. Though the two holidays may seem similar - one celebrating a pastry and the other celebrating bread - the treats differ in both taste and texture. Baklava is a sweet pastry made with layers of phyllo - an unleavened flour dough - and filled with nuts and syrup or honey. Bread, on the other hand, comes in all shapes, sizes and colors. Most breads are leavened, unlike baklava. So how do you roll: white, wheat, sourdough or phyllo? What's on TV? “The View” – ABC, 11 a.m. ET “Mystery Diagnosis” – Discovery Health, 7 p.m. ET “Iron Chef Japan” – Cooking Channel, 11 p.m. ET “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” – NBC, 11:35 p.m. ET |

Been making own sourdough bread with Spelt flour for about 2 months now and wow does it make a difference in digestion.
My digestive health blog. http://www.digestforlife.com
Just took a quick look at your blog. Is the sourdough recipe posted,? Didn't see it. I've been trying to find a descent sourdough recipe for years.
I haven't posted one yet on the blog but will soon. If you would like to email me at matt@digestforlife.com I would be happy to email it to you. The sourdough and the bread take a little prep work but the bread freezes exceptionally well for months.
National Baklava day! Wonderful, I have some at my house awaiting my return, as it happens. I will definitely eat it today. (Like I wasn't going to anyway.)
It's a nice day in these parts. Hope the weather is just as good for all of you today.
Morning Truth-Didn't get washed away from the storms? 52 degrees and sun here in the Houston area.
Weirdest thing...About 4 yesterday afternoon, it got downright black outside, we had heavy rain, which turned to snow with a lot of wind...It was all over in about twenty minutes. Kind of like the summer late afternoon storm, but is uncommon out here in fall or winter. Odd...
Snow this early? Better get out the John Denvers Greatest Hits album and crank up the volume so the snow gods can hear it.
We got snow late last week here about 75 miles east of Minneapolis. Still a few mounds around, but it's all gone. Looks like a nice ten day forecast:

Actually we already have ski resorts operating in the mountains. Denver usually gets the first snow in October, but what is great here is that it never lasts. We can get four inches on a MOnday and have it gone by Wednesday. 300 days/year of sunlight will do that. What is great out here is that Denver and the mountains are two totally different worlds. Denver might be in the sixties, while the mountains are getting pounded. Interesting dichotomy.
I need to move there so I can get my snowboard on. WI is lacking in the mountain/large hills department, especially compared to my home state.
60 and sunny here in Wash DC today.
Morning all, we are having a nice clear morning in DEN...How's the back doing Kat?
I am rolling up a Big Fat one right now with 98 layers and my nuts.
Sweet.
You lika my nuts?
