My car is going on 14 years old, so you might guess, I don't like shopping for big purchases, but I also don't like when things act up! This is the third time in almost 11 years that this oven has caused me to panic and I'm thinking it might be one that has a defect and will be a money pit. But the one I would like costs quite a bit and it wasn't something I was planning to have to do before Christmas:-((Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14263263554924074661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-69627708324316159152012-11-24T04:27:12.200-08:002012-11-24T04:27:12.200-08:00Hi Susan, I don't think I've ever had brow...Hi Susan, I don't think I've ever had brown bread. sounds fun to bake in a can. a shame about your oven. well, have fun looking for a new oven....it's kinda like car shopping so many to choose from but which one to buy. <br />hugs stamping sue<br />http://stampingsueinconnecticut.blogspot.com/stamping suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08190644334669574160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236430084801008700.post-68479079401528492562012-11-23T23:20:03.725-08:002012-11-23T23:20:03.725-08:00Brown bread was actually handed out to the poor in...Brown bread was actually handed out to the poor in Ireland in the 1800's--it's very healthy for you, so the joke is on those doing the distribution!!

You know how we ate it sometimes? As milk toast. Toast a thick slice and put it in a bowl and pour warm milk over it...sprinkle cinnamon and add a pat of butter. Oh my! I haven't thought of that in years! Enjoy your weekend!
