Herbed No Knead Overnight Bread

Quarantine supper tonite...  Live from NYC...
Today was the 3H club... hazy, hot and humid...  temperature topped out at 93°F here in the Big Steaming Apple.  There were supposed to be afternoon  thunderstorms but oddly enough we got the thunder and darkness for about an hour...  but no rain...  just a light drizzle for a few minutes...

It was a bread day... been wanting to make the overnight no knead bread into something more...  today something more happened with delicious results.  Once the dough rose and was ready I spread it out on the board in a large rectangle...  spread a mixture of basil, parsley and a bit of olive oil lightly processed  over it, then rolled it up the long way and baked it as usual.  It came out thoroughly scented by the herbs...  the hubs fussed over how good it was...  the olive oil making the bread a bit more moist than usual.  Must have been good...  we ate half the loaf at supper along with a crisp green salad and leftover grilled chicken.

I read once that at 92°F the brain begins to overheat and thoughts become less cohesive and more chaotic...  maybe that explains the behavior of those who say things like, 'I'm so over this virus' when asked by a reporter why no mask... or 'it's too hot for a mask'   ~sigh~

I spend my days helping nurses, doctors and other health care workers cope with the trauma of caring for COVID patients...  it is an honor to assist in any way I can.   I am infuriated by the casual indifference some take toward this virus.  It has stolen the joy of so many lives...  left so many dead and debilitated...  I am at a loss to explain this denial of reality and facts....
All I can say is PLEASE wear your mask...  take this pandemic seriously... don't become a statistic...
Stay safe & healthy 💞
How was your day?  What's on your plate?  Thoughts?
