I have all these recipes that came with the machine, but so far it's strictly white bread around here until I understand the thing a little better!Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-5383577098790473662008-09-08T11:38:00.000-04:002008-09-08T11:38:00.000-04:00My sister and I still laugh about the time I made ...My sister and I still laugh about the time I made (not) banana bread in the bread machine. Threw in all the ingredients, oh so simple, turned it on, smells great, now it's finished...forgot to put in the mixing paddle, clump of tasty smelling goop. It's a fun appliance though. <BR/><BR/>I'm pretty in favor of one activity at a time, too. Though I've agreed to let Samuel do soccer AND a math club for the next couple months. Thank goodness for grandparents and their taxi service!Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12346270516836690158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-48474538183265276552008-09-06T15:07:00.000-04:002008-09-06T15:07:00.000-04:00Yes, in defiance of conventional wisdom, I think a...Yes, in defiance of conventional wisdom, I think an appliance can be a good gift. As long as it is not an iron.<BR/><BR/>And Carrie, I think you're right about the bread seeming like an extra luxury. I know it gets my people excited. And I realize that any bread savings will need to take the cost of the bread machine into account :(, because Matt didn't buy it at Goodwill. Do men ever buy things at GW?Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06517252487552392654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-12220087317874145302008-09-05T23:56:00.000-04:002008-09-05T23:56:00.000-04:00I don't really think I'm saving much money by maki...I don't really think I'm saving much money by making bread, but having a fresh warm loaf ready makes a frugal dinner of soup or stew seem suddenly luxurious. On the other hand, I have had plenty of bread machine flops -- partly because I got mine at Goodwill and haven't been able to get a manual online.<BR/><BR/>OH, and I also don't usually make sandwiches with my machine bread because I can't cut the slices thin and even enough. Maybe if I had one of those slicers they have at the bread store!Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05178926995057789119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6328138894440374230.post-17634476720371172602008-09-05T18:27:00.000-04:002008-09-05T18:27:00.000-04:00"A bread machine?!!"

So are you just the best wife ever, or does Matt have husbandly powers that the rest of us lack?Camp Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918758148818443535noreply@blogger.com
