It is spilling whiteness outside! Happy, happy me! Big, fat, fluffy flakes have been falling steadily for hours now. My new bread machine arrived by UPS this afternoon and Jedd and I are awaiting our first loaf with anticipation and a distinct lack of patience. We're making a plain white loaf. But we didn't have any dry powdered milk so I substituted sour cream. SOUR CREAM?! Why? I have no idea....We immediately started pouring necessary ingredients in the bread bowl and when we got to the second to last ingredient...we didn't have it. Jedd was worried so I did a total improvisation with complete assurance to the lad that it would work. Hunh! Well, we have about half an hour till we see how this turns out.
I confess I'm giggling here. Because my plan if it doesn't work? I'm blaming it on the humidity due to the snow. Which could be true....

I am eagerly waiting to see if it turns out... it actually doesn't sound half bad!
Can you send some of the white stuff over here?
Hi Anna,
I thought it turned out a bit bland, but Jedd and Thom scarfed down almost the entire loaf and pronounced it, " the best ever".
While I'd love to share the white stuff with you, I'm afraid I must hoard it as it's been so very scarce. If you were closer I'd share, but it would be simply wasteful at this point:)
Kibbe: You crack me up. Definitely would have blamed it on snow humidity! I can only imagine how sweet the smell...hot bread lathered in real deal butter...
Yum!!! I can't wait to have an oven then stays at the same temperature (that you could actually choose would be nice too, hehe)! Turned out a 1/2 back coffee cake over the weekend, heh. Oh well, at least I enjoyed the gooeyness (my favorite part!)
I still marvel at those who cook with just going with what feels right. I like to know exactly how much of what and in what order... Kolya on the other hand... It ALWAYS tastes good and when I asked where he learned, he said, that was the first time I made it... just sounded good... and all the spices perfect... urgh. Men and their cooking :) But I'm not complaining!!! It's fun cooking together... and trying new things, tossing out the cookbook (with half the stuff you can't get here!) and going with the flow :)
