It’s been a good trip to Las Vegas so far. On our first day here, off we went to find Value Village (also known as Savers to the locals). I have to say it was as good as our experience in Toronto. Good finds for Toddler L and the husband.
I found a spoon and baking pan I like very much. If you were still under the impression I was normal, there you go. I get excited about spoons and pans. Especially when they are cool and vintage but still work perfect for my needs. I have great needs.
And best of all, (wait for it)…
I found a Williams Sonoma bread maker. (I even had a choice of 4 different machines.) For less than $20. Something to really get excited about. Trust me, I’m excited. I do excitement quietly. I got home and rushed to the computer (two hours later is rushing in my world) to look up the manual and bread machine recipes. Found a site that told me everything I needed to know to work my new toy and as well as several basic recipes.
I even tried one.
Ta Da!
It was a success. I take that very seriously. I need all the successes I can count. Especially in the kitchen. It’s not my natural habitat. But this bread was so easy. And good. I’ve forsaken most all of my usual internet wanderings to look for more recipes. I will be making lots of bread in the coming days. If I have any more successes I’ll be sure to tell you. I know you can’t wait.
Now if I just had that Kitchenaid mixer. Kidding. My yearning has abated to a dull roar now that I have my bread machine (angels singing in the background…in my head). It kneads. It rises. It bakes. I eat. Life is good.
If you want a good life buy a bread machine.
