The drought in CA makes me so sad. After being there last summer and seeing all the brown that should have been green, I understand so much better.
Your bread looks so fine. I don’t have a bread machine anymore but after seeing yours, I wish I did. That’s a great trick about pulling out the paddle!
I have mixed feeling about that bread machine. I feel like I should not be using it if I am going to be a better cook, but it is so darn hot it has saved me many times like now.
You would not believe it is raining today, but it will not be enough. The poor people that live inland are having flash floods which does no good since it all runs away and causes mass distraction.
Thanks for stopping by Chris. Hope your little ones are back on track.
I’ve never owned a bread machine–thought it might take up too much “real estate” in my kitchen. But this is a good argument for getting one!
Wini, my bread machine was a gift or I would not have it, and probably won’t replace it when it dies because it does take up valuable real estate, but it is nice in the summer when you don’t want to heat up the house.
You gave such great tips about using the bread machine, Madonna! Now I wish I hadn’t given away my bread machine! I do love making homemade bread, as you know, and yours looks wonderful. My favorite part of homemade bread is the yummy crusts!
I so love hearing memories of your grandma. She had a loving influence on your life and your cooking, didn’t she? I guess I hope that someone will think of me that way one day.
I’m happy to hear you got some rain. I know you need more, but even a little is greatly appreciated. Yes, I did see in the news, the fire on the highway. So scary!!!
Take care and happy baking!
Kitty, I only use it in the summer so I would not tell anyone to go out and buy one, just if you have one it is nice not to heat up the house.
As for my memories of my grandmother, I only remembered them as I started my blog and started writing, when the memories started pouring out. Their farm was wonderful, storybook farm. It had everything from walnut trees and pecan trees, to fish in the many ponds, fruit trees, and beehives, and a grape arbor.
As for the rain, I wonder if we will ever get enough, but those living inland the rain did some very destructive damage. I wish we could figure out how to divide up the rainfall.
Thanks for stopping by Kitty.
Madonna, the drought you’re having is just awful and the story about the fire rampaging on the highway is very scary. We take an annual trip to the Palm Desert area with 3 other couples to golf and get away from the Wisconsin winter for one week. It will be so sad if they aren’t allowed to water the golf courses but I totally understand that California needs this water desperately for much more important uses than keeping the tourists happy. Wishing you some much needed rain that will sink in and help the cause! About the bread machine, I love mine and use it often but usually don’t leave the bread in the machine to bake. I love the idea of reaching in and taking out the paddle. Never thought of that! I love making bread and will save your recipe to try. It sounds delicious!
Susan, I hope you like the bread. Be sure to weigh the flour.
As for the water, I think they use recycled water for the golf courses or grey water as it is named. I know in our greenspaces they have a sign saying, “do not drink this water – it is grey water”.
I cannot tell you just how excited I get when I find a new bread machine recipe. This looks delicious, and I WILL be trying it!
Pattie, When I lived in the Midwest I was always looking for a way not to heat up the house. I hope you like it.
I don’t have a bread machine, and often wondered whether I should get one. Sounds like a fun gadget, and I do love gadgets! When we bake bread we always freeze at least half of it too — no way we can get through an entire loaf before it goes stale! Anyway, this looks really good — thanks.
I would not have one except it was a gift and is really old. I probably won’t replace it when it goes, but for now it has saved me. After all my complaining about the drought CA got lots of rain. (The wrong kind that floods, and runs off, but still it was rain.) Now it is humid like the Midwest so the bread machine came in handy. 🙂
I have a bread machine, but I haven’t used in years. I never did master the art of using it to make bread. Your photo says that you did! Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday. Please join us again this week.
I really miss my Bread Machine sometimes, it really was a time saver. This bread looks delicious, maybe I will put a Bread Machine on my wish list. Hope you are having a fantastic day and we are so excited that you shared your post with Full Plate Thursday.
Thanks so much and Come Back Soon!
