I nagged my husband for years to buy me a bread machine. For about two months, I furiously baked bread, then the thing went into a cupboard and it didn't come out for two years, and then only to be sold for 10 bucks at a yard sale!!
We are having a medium rare mustard encrusted top sirloin roast, Yorkshire pudding, Laura Calder's accordion potatoes, green beans with almonds. Yummy!
