I Love The Smell of Fresh Baked Bread In The Afternoon (and morning and evening)!

I decided to use one of my Christmas presents this afternoon: a bread baker that I first saw at the Black Swamp Art Festival back in September. Apparently, my father-in-law went back and purchased it and then gave it to me for Christmas!! He has more patience than I when it comes to gift giving because I could never hide a gift that long. I can hardly wait a day!


The bread baker came with a handful of recipes. I leafed through them today and decided to try the pumpkin bread since I had one can of pumpkin puree left from the holidays.

I haven't tasted the bread yet (I'm trying to wait until Jonathan comes home...), but it smells amazing--like pumpkin pie.

Mmmm! I can't wait!!
