Dusting off old appliances

Standard

Bread machineBarbara over at ‘Mainly Stitching’ inspired me to locate my breadmaking machine when she displayed a photo of a freshly baked loaf of goodness. I haven’t used it in ages and it looks it. So nasty inside. That is entirely not like me to put something away without making sure it was clean. I probably stuck in the basement because I needed counter space and then forgot about it-opps. Today at the store I bought two boxes of the bread mix. I sure hope the machine works. I think it’s about 14 yrs old maybe? Did you have one? I’ll let you know.

What else do I have that I have used for a while? A pasta machine (pasta is so darn cheap to buy made already, but what a cop out not to use it once in a while) . We have a smoothie maker, which we have used this past summer. I have the panini maker which I have used only a couple of times. I did find a grocery store that sells the bread, but I know what you are thinking-make the bread! ; )

On the Rachael Ray show one of ‘her regulars’ investigates websites. I really liked this one-Buzzwhack. Remember Rich Hall who use to be on Saturday Night Live in the early 80s who did the Sniglets? Well these remind me of those silly things.

i.e. regurgimailer: Friends and colleagues who forward everything that lands in their inboxes to everyone they know without checking to see if it’s true or even new. “My brother is the ultimate regurgimailer. He’s always sending urban legends that are at least five years old.”

  1. I just finally bought myself a bread machine about 2 years ago and don’t use it as much as I did when Corey was still living at home but when he comes to visit, then I make him a loaf. I also have a smoothie maker which I haven’t used in a year…we always want the new gadgets, use them a couple of times then forget about them! lol

  2. We have a pasta machine that we used to use at least once a week before the arrival of Nicky and Rowen. Try rolling out pasta with two grabby wee beasties “helping” – it’s enough to drive a saint to distraction! I miss homemade pasta. I loved to make ravioli.

    My dad’s a regurgimailer – it makes me nuts!!
