Bread, butter and salt club ...

When the girls were little, the electric breadmaker had just came out. I got one from mom and dad for Christmas one year, and started making bread all the time, at least 4-5 times a week. Last night, I started thinking about it .. and to be honest .. didn't know if I had sold mine in a garage sale. (everyone knows around here .. if it sits for a little bit without being used ... it's gone) Anyway, started digging around in the cupboards, and I found it.
So last night I made bread ... couldn't find the original instructions .. since those probably did get thrown out, but I found a breadmaker cookbook and gave it a try. It doesn't look like much, since I used too much yeast, and it didn't brown quite right, but ... it was fabulous. Which brings me back to the bread, butter and salt club. That's what the girls used to call having a snack of homemade bread. They would put butter on and the sprinkle it with salt. (never understood that part) I'm leaving the breadmaker out for now .. the kids will all be home for Thanksgiving soon ... and I think they will all be suprised to remember how good homemade bread is.
