Hi John,

-> So, did the kitchen smell like a brewery? (G) Our quilting group uses
-> the American legion building, as does a commercial baker but on
-> different days. Today the Legion commander was showing somebody else
-> around who is thinking of using the building several days a week. He
-> warned the person that the smell of pies baking might be a bit of a
-> distraction. (G)

 JG>    What I remember about folks saying went on at the American Legion
 JG> hall and the Knights of Columbous hall was that generally the only
 JG> thing the building seemed to be used for was bickering and drinking
 JG> beer!  An employee at the store I worked at used to stock up on lots

Our local American Legion post is a dry one, no bar in it. I don't know
if there's a local KofC or not.

 JG> of beer
 JG> before going over there.  I heard they had their own liquor supply and
 JG> beer taps... My boss said "Yeah, but it's too expensive so she buys
 JG> her beer at the convince store and brings it over there!" referring to
 JG> the
 JG> employee....  Amazing how the members talk about all the fussing and
 JG> fighting but they put up with it because to them it's like a cheap
 JG> bar....

I'm just as happy ours is a dry post. There's probably enough fussing
going on without anything extra fueling it.


-> IIRC, my mom's made a square loaf. Our first couple of machines made a
-> tall rectangular loaf, the latest one has a horizontal rectangular pan
-> with 2 paddles. We use the KA mixer and do 2 loaves at a time more often
-> now.
 JG>    I can see myself making some interesting bread loaves... But not
 JG> enough to justify buying a bread maker....  And I'm not a baker,

We like real whole wheat bread. I'd baked our own, sometimes 8 loaves at
a time, until I broke both wrists. That made it hard to knead so we got
the first bread machine. It died while we still had one daughter at home
so we got another. When it died, we replaced it, then Steve got me the
Kitchen Aid. He said he likes the bread recipe I use (the one we used to
use, before breaking the wrists) better.

 JG> though my wife likes to bake.... She likes wheat bread because it's
 JG> softer and generally fresher... Making our own bread would make it
 JG> 'fresh' when we want it, and you could make eg. like that jalapino
 JG> bread, where you have pices of jalapino's mixed into the bread...  Or
 JG> you could take various
 JG> types of meat and mix it into the bread...  I'd be tempted to mix some

Ever have Italian pepperoni bread? I had some, while visiting my in laws
in Florida a few years ago. It also has mozzarella cheese in it--good
stuff! One of these days I'll make a whole wheat version.


 JG> of that sweet salad dressing or something similiar into the bread mix
 JG> to see if you could make a sorta sweet tasting bread.... Or add in a
 JG> bunch of cinamin, then when the bread's done, toast it and see if it
 JG> is better than toasting it and putting the cinamin on last... (Better
 JG> yet, put it in both, before you make the bread and after!)  Not sure
 JG> how it'd work, but might be interesting to take eg. an apple and dice
 JG> it up , then put the apple into the bread mix... Then you would have a
 JG> bread with baked
 JG> apple pices blended into the bread so every bight of bread had nice
 JG> warm baked apples!  Toast, and add peanut butter and apple jelly, and
 JG> butter!

All kinds of things you can do with bread! One recipe in my original
bread machine book called for an envelop of dried onion soup. That made
a good bread! I might pull it out and adapt it to the new machine.
