lusting for an expensive ($400) zojirushi bread maker, with dual paddles. this is a stupid want. there's no need for it, just some unexplainable desire.
because the cheap $60 breadmaker we have does a fine job every weekend. this one was free. ours broke after 5+ years of service. family member had a spare one lying around, same model as ours. loaves made: whole wheat bread, wheat+flax, basic white, wheat+egg, cinnamon raisin walnut, cranberry walnut, wheat+beer bread, sundried tomato, olive bread, pizza dough, strawberry jam. i don't think there's anything else that the zojirushi offers that i need.
just noticed that the el-cheapo model we have is now selling for $135 on Amazon, but there's a new model out for $90, me wants new shiny one too.
maybe i should become a bread-machine tester. then i'll really be in shape; round is a shape.
