Breadmaker

On Jan 2, Mari went to New-Year sale of an electric store and bought a breadmaker.

She was very excited getting it and promised me to make a lot of delicious breads.
At the night, she made bread using the breadmaker with ingredients on hand. The next morning, we had sour bread that has strong fermentation odor. She raised her motivation too and challenged again with newly purchased ingredients. The bread rose well (see the photos), and we had a good one at the next breakfast.

She regained her confidence and tried a recipe in the book. The next morning, she made fine bread comparable to that of baker's. The success satisfied her; she has left the breadmaker until now.

The bredmaker costs only 60 dollars, but thus it never compete with bakery.
