My bread maker lives in the dining room on the windowsill, as we have no space, and a serious lack of electrical sockets in our kitchen.

You're right re the saftey issues Ruby. The reason we onl;y have 2 sockets in our kitchen is that dp ripped them all out treating the damp when we bought the house (10 years ago) and never put them back!

lol about breadmakers. I just talked DH into putting it on our Christmas list from his family. they are a bit pricey though so we'll only be getting a cheap one.

morning! feeling rubbish still, but going to have to do some cleaning today as the house is such a mess.

DP uses our breadmaker for making pizza base dough. works brilliantly. and a few years ago we made bread every day with it. as i went to take DD to school i got a text from DP saying that i'd have fresh bread in 2h 40min! the house smells of bread now i will have a taste when it's cooled down and i might start using it more again if it's nice!

Have done the mission and decluttered the worksurfaces at the same time. Our kitchen is sooooo tiny....DH decided to cook a full-on roast last night...all I could hear from the kitchen was a string of expletives!!! It tasted good though!

Hi Luda - am here today - not flying though.

Was a bit down yesterday as had had IVF and discovered not Pg (thanks Quootiepie for help on the HPT thread - have read replies but wanted to just let the thread drop off). Saw doc today and will try again in January.

Need to lose weight first though.

I don't use my breadmaker every day but about twice a week ATM. Will get more adventurous though. The bread can taste a bit yeasty and not everyone likes that. I bought a breadmaker for my Dad a few years ago and it was a one hit wonder. I really like the basic brown bread though and it feels "healthy". No crappy preservatives. Am happy with mine! And I think DH is suprised how much I actually use it!

Will get back to Flying tomorrow!

pippah · 08/11/2006 12:16

Its my weekly home blessing this afternoon, so I should be feeling really worthy by tonight.

Are all the poorly people feeling better now - hope so!

Quootiepie · 08/11/2006 12:17

Welcome back Flame

LOL @ Ruby's "CO2 detectors" - carbon Monoxide?

Whats all this breadmaker stuff? Is it different from doing it in the oven?

Flamesparrow · 08/11/2006 12:31

Flame, by law you haveto have them.

carbon monoxide that is, not carbon dioxide, they would go off if you breathed on them

Quootiepie · 08/11/2006 12:33
