PEGGY - couldn'...Thanks for the comments all - <br />PEGGY - couldn't agree more - hubby loves it like the BBQ and we love the results so I am delighted with that - he'll be supplying the college boys for the next few months and also the Cork family! So glad to know they survive heavy usage. <br /><br />NIAMH - it was a revelation to me too how the bread machines work - it's the same as people without the sweat! So the guilt tripping's out the door after seeing the great results - and besides the Lidl bread mixes you see in the photos and the loaf on the post there are equally good results from the starting from scratch yeast and flour (strong bread flour) method. Glad you like the stories - I always associate bread making with the bush life and weevils! <br /><br />ANN - You know Lidl - that bread maker will be back on special in a few months so no doubt it'll be around though not much point in hauling it all the way back to Wisconsin from Dungarvan! Probably voltage difference and also think of the weight! Bread and home - definitely - although I am not a daily soda bread maker like so many of my friends or their mothers are. I always enjoyed yeast bread - very therapeutic with the ritual of the proving and kneading, and the sense of achievement in a good outcome - never a guarantee as I said with dodgy ingredients in the bush! I'm all for this machine now - it's really fun even as a spectator sport! Thanks - Tandy and me are really enjoying her visit as we bridge the past 16 years and reminisce about our distant lives in Tanzania and homeschooling our kids - her three girls and our three boys were the same ages and are still good friends thanks to the wonders of social networking and Facebook!<br /><br />STEPHANIE V - glad you found the machine fun too for your daily bread - we're still at that stage and will be for a while - agree with you about the window and I still think that's great fun - the noises it makes still startle me but I'll get used to that in time! Hopefully I won't get too much expansion in the waist department but you never know! <br /><br />All the best - Catherine.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16116884676266268214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-51622996494285746872010-03-29T16:55:13.636+01:002010-03-29T16:55:13.636+01:00We bought a bread maker a few years ago and it did...We bought a bread maker a few years ago and it did indeed make delicious daily bread. We were its best customers! Now we're a bit more blase and don't use it quite so often - to the betterment of our waistlines! <br />I love watching it through the window. And even more I enjoy the wonderful whirring and thumping sounds it makes - sometimes after I've forgotten it was there.<br /><br />Enjoy your fresh bread!Stephanie Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03206167025245206754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-84033149154329107822010-03-29T15:22:31.369+01:002010-03-29T15:22:31.369+01:00Bread looks delicious.

Your post has made me want to re-think my lack of a bread making machine. Do you think it might still be on sale when I get home in May??? Only joking. Have a great visit with your friend Tandy.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07524878248746427258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-72554791720527032.post-91210956189969230942010-03-29T14:11:29.374+01:002010-03-29T14:11:29.374+01:00Your bread looks great!

I think it is on par with cooking for a BBQ, the men take it as their territory (we allow them to think so anyway). Long may it continue!Peggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16336168195436906219noreply@blogger.com
