feeling listless

Food Cooking your own bread is a liberating experience. We recently bought a bread machine, and every night I find myself drawn to its white contours and silvery cooking pan. Yes, it's the ultimate convenience -- simply putting all of the ingredience in what is essentially a mini-oven, but after a few failures (bread failing to rise / tasting bloody awful) each new loaf feels like a triumph. I've another brown loaf cooking now and I still keeping checking it every half an hour watch it rise through the little glass hole at the top -- a kind of ultra-realistic ultra-sound.
