):

hand in the proverbial cookie jar

Ummm so I think this comic is my public punishment for eating the bread. ): I'm sorryyyyyy. To be honest, this is pretty much how it went down ... it was fresh out of the oven, I couldn't say no!

Yuko's Mom gave us a breadmaker! So far we've made white, egg and oatmeal bread, all of which were pretty good. The egg makes the bread a little fluffier? Yeah. I'm curious about the carrot, the poppy-seed lemon, and the zucchini bread. All of them sound delicious ... we will see! Anyway, if you like bread I highly recommend a breadmaker! Definitely a fan.

As mentioned on Tuesday, new stuff in the store: Girl with the Skeleton Hand pins and Maw Crest stickers.

We understand. Fresh made bread is 100% irresistible.

Pro tip: slather a piece of fresh-out-of-the-oven bread with honey.
Om nom nom.

What's missing is Aido's subsequent beat down of Ananth that is probably too detailed to show to regular viewers.

And then Ananth takes other piece. Out of SPITE.

Isn't it just great having one now? ;D
I've been using mine to make more artisan breads at the moment (the dough function is a useful thing) and last night I made some French Baguettes with it.

They were gone in less than an 20 minutes xD

Never tried Baquettes in the bread maker, they look good. Any specific recipe you use?

(reply to this comment)

Why yes! There is a recipe I use! Its my personal favorite because its so stupid simple of a recipe that it isn't hard to make the bread at all, but it does take a REALLY long time. About... 4 hours in total I think.

Its especially tasty fresh out of the oven ;D

Next time you should try it with Yuko's Pumpkin Chicken Dream Curry.

We used to make baguettes in spacklehaus....
THEY TOOK HOURSSSSS.
Phil was a very strict french bread man. We did the spritzing with water and the bread stone thing and all that jazz. So many hours...
It was delicious :D

But breadmakers are pretty awesome. We had one and then my mom threw out the directions and we never used it again D:

My Dad makes this amazing zucchini bread my Grandmother taught him. It's pretty much win in an edible form. you should try making a Banana nut bread as well.

Ananth The trick is to eat the bread before anyone else notices its done then blame it on the oven, or hob goblins.

Hahaha, this is exactly like the Marshmallow Experiment :

egg WILL make it fluffier, yeah.... in theory, it should taste richer but i've never noticed the difference (i kinda make bread by hand a lot... machines just complicate things in the kitchen for me ¬_¬) I don't know if you can do this with the breadmaker, but if you sprinkle on different things before cooking (e.g. sesame seeds, oats, salt/pepper, anything really) even that adds a surprising amount to the flavour :) I still need to try mixing stuff into the bread itself though...

ooh! also see if you can find a brioche recipe for your breadmaker. YOU WON'T REGRET IT. (especially when you decide that it needs dried fruit or chocolate chips in the mix. which you will. it's inevitable. or should be. it tastes SO NICE either way)

(reply to this comment)

fruits and chocolate in a brioche? blasphemy!!! however, im curious, do you deep fry yours? they are quite good when deep fried :D just add butter to the ones fresh out, and you have yourself a delectable treat. my mom only makes it about twice a year D:

(reply to this comment)

I find myself in a similar situation whenever someone makes cookies or anything with barbecue sauce

(reply to this comment)

Pumpkin Bread.

(reply to this comment)

Pumpkin bread. You must try it.

(reply to this comment)

Ananth might want to join the Angry Asian Appreciation Association.

(reply to this comment)

I can completely relate. ^^ We have a breadmaker at home too, and it's great. The only thing not so fun is the smell of the bread baking when you're hungry but can't eat it because it's baking.

(reply to this comment)

EGADS!! This SO makes me want to baaaaaaaaaaakeeeeeee!!! XD

Dude! Zucchini bread ROCKS!! XD in my younger years when my dad use to have a kickass veggie garden, he'd stockpile zucchini up the wazoo, of which mom would proceed to shred or puree for zucchini bread!! XD soooooooo goooooooood!!O_O Add choco chips for an extra lil treat in it...mmmmmmmmmmm!^_________^

I should seriously try making carrot bread >.> I've some chopped dates left over from the carrot cake I made from scratch for one of my younger sis's bday this summer XD mmmmmm...will have to make a nice cream cheese frosting to spread on each slice! XDehehehe

aaaaand...dad has a bread maker he hasn't used in a few years >.> hmmmmm...though I like ye ole oven baked bread myself ^_^;;; Especially when it fills the house with its nummynummy baking bread batter contents! XDehe

(reply to this comment)

however, have you ever made zuchini chocolate cake? absolutely delicious :D

(reply to this comment)

Is the marshmallow test?

(reply to this comment)

Essentially, a kid is put in a room with one marshmallow. They are told that if after an amount of time they haven't eaten the marshmallow, they will get one more marshmallow. Most kids can't wait and eat the marshmallow immediately. It's supposed to be an exercise in instant gratification versus long-term benefits.

Look it up on Youtube! The results are pretty adorable.

Zucchini bread is the best bread ever.

(reply to this comment)

Zucchini bread with chocolate chips baked into it. Me and my family make it every year around Christmas. Best desert ever. XD

(reply to this comment)

Hehe well I think my mom goes off her grandmother's recipe, which includes sour cream to make it extra soft and moist *_* I like it warm with butter smeared all over it... :O~~~

(reply to this comment)

Lemon-poppy seed and banana nut are my two favorite kinds of breads, especially homemade ones. Curse the dorms for frowning upon anything that can possibly be used to make good food!

And now, a question about the Maw stickers because I love them so: Would you be able to use them on, say, a car window? Or a bumper, or both?

(reply to this comment)

You could use them on both! They're sticky, not static cling, so once you put 'em on they hold real nicely. The photo in the preview is my laptop - the clear parts of the stickers are quite clear.

(reply to this comment)

What kind of breadmaker is it? I've been scouting around because I HATE my oven

(reply to this comment)

I definitely recommend Hawaiian sweet bread boxed mix. If not for the taste but the godly aromas that will fill the house as you make it. =]

And, you guys can all make Conrad feel bad about his nose not working!

(reply to this comment)

is better than it sounds. It's sweet and delicious and very filling, and good warm with a touch of butter. I hiiiighly suggest you make some.

(reply to this comment)

I was friends with someone as a kid whose house always smelled like bread. Their mom was flattered when I told her that. =)

I'm asking for a breadmaker for Christmas (I think I'm in my 'nesting' stage =P ). I think doing so is the first step on a very slippery slope of bready goodness.

(reply to this comment)

Ohhhh maaaaan, I've always wanted a bread maker, just for this recipe: http://happyhomebaking.blogspot.com/2009/03/bacon-cheese-bread.html

It looks delicious, and I am so jealous.

(reply to this comment)

Good man! :)

This comic is basically a Garfield strip. The good people of Johnny Wander have transcended reality and are now a living fiction.

MAN, I HATE MONDAYS

Wow, this is hard. Help me out, guys!

GAAAAARFIEEEEEEEEELD

I'm in the mood to party. Or fold laundry.

(reply to this comment)

YES! Get a breadmaker! I cannot understate how heavenly they are. Seriously.

(reply to this comment)

think about what you just wrote. It was a negative compliment towards breadmakers lol. if you cannot understate how heavenly it is, it means you can be perfectly disparaging yet go lower lol

(reply to this comment)

I love bread... carbs in general are the BEST. That's why they make up the most of the food pyramid.

(reply to this comment)

My mom used to have a bread maker. :1 I dunno what happened to it! But the stuff that came out of it was the BEST, for realsez. I wish we still had one... or if we do, still used it.

(reply to this comment)

I will never understand people with breadmakers. Everyone I know who owns one talks about them like they're the greatest thing since sliced...um...

(reply to this comment)

This is my official recommendation to make zucchini bread. It is seriously one of the best kinds of breads, especially when it is warm and fresh. Mmm...zucchini bread....

(reply to this comment)

It tasted good, didn't it? >:D

But here's the logic loophole:
You're eating the bread butt- err, I mean "Heel"!

(reply to this comment)

Add these to your list of breads to make: pumpkin bread, potato bread, pumpernickel, sourdough, rye and cheddar-jalapeno bread. Mmmm.

(reply to this comment)

ZUCCHINI BREAD. It's extremely delicious stuff, even though it might sound weird. And don't forget banana bread, too!

My dad would always make breadmaker bread when I was younger, and I'd have to side with Ananth and say that fresh bread is irresistible. ;)

(reply to this comment)

I'm a lurker but I'm unlurking just to say you should make zucchini bread next!

It's more like a cake though. It's very sweet depending on how you make it and tastes amazing with nuts!

(reply to this comment)

Warm bread smell is so irresistible - there's a bread factory near my campus, so sometimes the entire area smells like bread. Not just bread, but *warm* bread - even if it's below freezing outside.

Also, zucchini bread is awesome, but zucchini bread with RAISINS is awesome with OMG on top with a side of amazing. Also works well with banana bread, and prolly others I can't think of at the moment.
