I got this for Lorena for our anniversary and am putting it up here to see if she actually reads my blog or just SAYS she does. The reality is, she has wanted one of these things for many, many years. My hope is that she is going to make me some homemade bread and even some egg bagels.  Also, I have a feeling that this will be a big draw for Kelly to come home. It comes on Tuesday and I will report back whether Lorena sees this before the thing arrives. She USED to read my blog every day, but after 26 years, my shtick has admittedly gotten a little stale.
