Following on my post about my adventures with sourdough bread making…
A reader writes in to ask:
“One thing that I picked up on your blog about the bread last week was that you said something about “hoping you would have been able to do something so simple when the inevitable EMP hits.” Only thing is, how does cooking bread work without electricity 😕 because the EMP would knock out our ovens too. Would you just place it in the sun on a 100+ degree summer day to cook.
“I do agree that the EMP is probably inevitable, likely even in our lifetimes, perhaps, but I am wondering about that technicality regarding the cooking of anything, however simple?”
Oh silly reader. See my reply below.
“Dutch oven over a campfire.”
If that doesn’t work, most of your neighbors’ houses will probably have been destroyed and/or abandoned. I foresee plenty of kindling for the world’s largest bonfire when these things are actually needed. You’ll still need a Dutch oven but that will likely survive the blast.
Glad that’s out of the way.
In other news, a friend read of my adventures and gifted me a set of bread stuff. Take a look.
There’s something called a banaton in there. And I just thought that was an 80’s metro unisex clothing store.
Much thanks to said friend!
