***Warning: This post has no pictures of the boy. Please check back later for those. Just thought I would let you know in case you have something better to do than to read my ramblings. That's all folks."
When Russell and I got married, the one of the gifts I was most excited about receiving was a breadmaker. Weird, I know. I was adventurous the first time I used it and decided to make my favorite bread, cinnamon raisin. The directions said to add the raisins either at the beginning or when the fruit/nut timer went off...I remember being busy that day and figured I would just add them at the beginning to not have to worry about it later. Fast forward 3 hours and we had a beautiful loaf of bread, without raisins as the kneading process had beat them to smithereens (spelling?).
Eight years later, I finally got over the distraught of that failure and decided to make another loaf. This time I used the basic introduction recipe for white bread....
It was a success and very tasty! After feeling pretty good about my domestic abilities (which I say tongue-in-cheek as I used a machine and not my hands to knead and shape the dough), I decided to tackle the cinnamon raisin bread again. This time I waited until after the fruit buzzer went off to add the raisins. However, after reading the directions again, I think I will add the raisins right before the buzzer goes off at the end of the last kneading cycle....I'll let the pictures explain why....
There are a few raisins inside the bread, which was still very tasty!
