recipes too good to be lost in the comments

in my recent call for dutch bread recipes, my prayers were answered by new bccy pals r. kliby and m. meijer. they're angels.

i'm going to drag these recipes outta the comments and post 'em proper so google can index these gems.

in the meantime, mr. right surprised da house by bicycling out to well-known gourmet shop, bierkraft. don't let the name fool ya.

you might think it's just a supply house for brew addicts, but actually it's a full-fledged premium store, stocked with great cheeses, niman ranch products, artisan breads, and of course chocolate.

unlike certain other bklyn "gourmet" stores, the bierkraft folks are friendly and welcoming -- no manhattan attitudes or prices here!

mr. right appeared with a difficult-to-obtain-in-the-summer bar of that utter heroin known as slitti lattenero 62%, as well as the delicious galler 70% noir.

that bierkraft is associated with long-time bccy guy jim munson of dallis coffee has nothing per se to do with my enthusiasm. . .it's just the slitti speaking!

of course, today is pizza day at bccy, and i'm making up the dough as usual. every household has to have routines, as one of my closest friends recently remarked.

and while the dough whirls, doncha know, i'm polishing off the last of gillies lovely iced guatemala antigua "los volcanes." hot or cold, this coffee is right up there with oren's famed cobán.
