Today I decided to try a new recipe in my bread machine. It included oats, wheat flour, and overripe bananas. I had three overripe bananas and I didn’t feel like making my usual (but yummy) banana bread, so I looked in my bread machine cookbook and found the recipe. I measured and poured, and started the machine. It started its mixing cycle, and I decided to take a nap. When I woke up I realized that the bread should be ready. I went into the kitchen and saw that the machine had finished it’s baking cycle. Unfortunately, the machine had decided to break down during the early stage of the mixing cycle so I did not have anything that even resembled bread! Naturally I’m displeased that the machine has broken down – I don’t want to have to buy a new one! Very disaapointing. I’m just glad that it didn’t break down right before a fancy special dinner! 

I’ve already got my eye on what machine I want to get to replace it, but I can’t afford it – I need to buy the dogs their flea & tick prevention medicine instead.  GRRRRR….
