My dad had a bread machine too when I was around the same age. Maybe that was the trend back then or maybe we were just meant to be friends. We still have that machine. I should see if it works and make some bread.

Hee. I think it means they were popular AND we were meant to be friends. Did yours also make loaves that would rise until one end was all huge and the loaf was weirdly lop-sided as a result?

Yes mine did. Also it always had these weird overcooked parts where the kneading paddle and this pin thing (which I stil dont know the purpose for it is) sat. Its decided Im making bread this weekend.

So your sandwiches all had holes in the middle too? I feel so much closer to you. That bread now sounds really good.

The only reason that half of the bread is still sitting on the counter is that I didn't want to hog ALL of it when I didn't even make it! It is tasty!

You guys are all so adorable. And look at you Sarah. You have come along way with cooking. I love homemade bread. My mother and I(well really her) would make 13 loaves(that's what the recipe made)every month or so. So great!
