Woohoo! We got us a bread maker!  All that doughy goodness.  Its a fascinating machine given to us by friends who were moving - so double score!

Beautifully glossy peaks.

And a crunchy creation.

Unfortunately, BM was sick and we couldn't visit the friends I had made it for.

Round two was a disaster and then so was round 3.  I gave up and brought cookies (oophs).
