Last week, we acquired a bread machine from my dad, who had acquired it from my grandmother some time ago. I lost no time in trying it out. For Sunday, I made a loaf of white bread, which I took to church along with peanut butter and jelly in order to make us PB&Js for lunch. Because several other families stayed at church that afternoon, we ended up pooling our food to make a makeshift potluck. Apparently my bread went over well–it was all gone by the time we left for home after the evening service.

Yesterday I used the timer function for the first time, as I prepared the ingredients and set the machine to make the bread just so it would finish when we were getting home. To my somewhat surprise, it worked–the machine beeped to indicate its finishing just as we walked in the door. We are still enjoying that loaf.

My next project will be to try some kind of dough, whether pizza dough or rolls or something like that.

P.S. In other unrelated news, Lincoln’s sister Emi got engaged to David Gardenghi yesterday. :) Congratulations to them!
