So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Enjoy Fresh Baked Goods Every Day With A Bread Machine

By Ruth Kelly


Simplify baking by using a bread machine. Just about anyone will be able to create fresh baked goods like a pro when they use this appliance. There is nothing that says comfort and home, quite like the smell of bread baking in the house. Years ago, Grandma and her contemporaries would spend endless days in the kitchen in order to achieve the same results that today can be achieved with ease. Thanks Granny, but how wonderful it is to enjoy great cooking in a fraction of the time.

One of the greatest features of an electric bread maker is that it leaves our hands free in order to prepare the rest of the meal. While we cut vegetables, prepare meat and set the table, the machine does all of the kneading, rising, re-kneading, and even the baking. It could not be more simple than that.

Today's machine does not leave us with an ordinary loaf. No indeed, the functions available allow us to place all the ingredients into the hopper and have them added to the mix at the exact right time. This means no more stopping and starting the process in order to add fruit, nuts, or flavorings. One easy step takes care of the entire process.

Bread is not the only thing that can be prepared in this small appliance. Homemade pasta is like nothing else imaginable. It simply is different, (by different think better)than any commercially offered pasta on the market. It will be simple enough to make once or twice a week if desired. Imagine homemade spinach fettuccine... Yum! Add some fresh made garlic toast and a glass of Merlot, and this becomes the perfect Italian meal. It wets the appetite just thinking about it.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Unfortunately, many people skip breakfast because they are in such a hurry to get going. Most settle for bland toast or cereal even during cold weather when a warm meal is just what is needed. Using the timer on a bread maker allows families to add all the ingredients the night before and having fresh baked goods ready and waiting when they wake up in the morning. Imagine just baked cinnamon rolls for breakfast on a work day... Fantastic!

There is just about no household in the country that can claim a cake has never been baked there. But no one wants to turn the oven on during warmer months when the temperature is high. No problem, whether baking from scratch or from a mix, it is simple to make a cake without ever turning on the oven. The best part is that the kitchen will stay cool.

There are too many possibilities to list for what can be created with a bread machine. Try lots of new things. The new cuisine is about to become very simple and quite delicious.
