Wah... you certainly make it sound so poetic... now I need to borrow a piece of your yummy roti to wipe off the tear at the corner of my right eye. Anyway, schweppes, you are right. It's not 400 pieces of bread that you need to bake in order to recoup the investment in that thing. For Happy Mama, it's 401 given the sad accident that happened to that poor piece of dough that was her first experiment :lol:

Chief, you are so funny! :laugh: :rotflmao: My men must be thinking I am mad to be laughing away while starring at the computer! :siao:

:rotflmao:

But there's something special about homemade stuff. The family gets involved and there's a sense of growing excitement in the air. Everyone takes furtive peeks into the window of the bread machine as we wait expectantly for the bread to rise.

Very soon, as the machine works its magic, smells of freshly baked bread wafts through the air, permeating our home with comfort and warmth. Such are the memories of love that we want to linger on for our children.

Finally, the machine beeps. My children whoop with excitement. The bread is ready. We gather around the table as the bread is being prepared to be sliced and served. Crusty on the outside but tender loving warm and soft on the inside. Nice. :love:

Schweppes,

This can be a review for some Kitchen Appliance magazine or a chapter taken from a novel .... NICE :love: :love:

Your style of writing here reminds me of those writers specializing in magic realism .... you know like the author from The Mistress of Spice and Isabel Allende who wrote The House of Spirits :celebrate: :celebrate:

Awww... :thankyou: sista. U made my... day :love:

I read Mistress of Spice, not bad. Saw the movie too on DVD - the one with Ash Rai. I also enjoyed the other food book, Chocolate.

Schweppes,

You'er welcome. Now I know you'll have a good nite's sleep

You MUST read Isabel Allende's The House of Spirits.

Its a hauntingly beautifully written book, translated from Spanish. There's a movie based on it starring Meryl Streep, Winnona Ryder and Antonio Banderas.

Huh? :? You have not bought the machine, how come you managed to read the recipe book? Is there anything that I am missing ou? :?

After reading so much about everyone's raisin bread earlier, I became tempted to bake one myself too. Just nice for breakie tomorrow. Instead of only raisins, I used cranberries and mixed raisins (i happened to have this mix, which I bought from Pat's Oven - selling nuts and dried fruits).


Here's some pics of my newly baked Cranberry and Raisin Bread...

The cranberries and raisins made the bread naturally sweet. Yummm...
