breadmakings...

today we bought a bread machine...and its very fun. we have made 2 loaves thus far, and i wonder why i ever bought bread before. its so easy, and the aroma alone is worth the work. then you get to savor the taste afterwards. yummmy!! buying this large appliance was quite the adventure. justin went to a bunch of electronic/kitchen appliance departments and called me everytime he located a breadmaker. I would then look up online the different brand & model to see if we would be able to download the manual in English. none of the models he found were online, and the one brand we did find - was a discontinued model! its funny, but they still carry it here in our remote area of the world! a friend here bought this same machine years ago, and she wrote the company to ask for an English manual. she was sent a photocopy, so she shared it with me! gotta love your friends. justin just made the 2nd loaf himself, so that says a LOT about how easy & scrumptious this bread is (did i mention he got to bargain for it too?).

here's the finished product:
