Two bread makers! Wow, I don't have one. A quick story about me in the kitchen yesterday (always a near-disaster). I was making banana nut bread and needed a mixer to get the lumps of lard to meld with other ingredients. I thought I had two hand mixers, but could not find either. I resorted to an old-time hand beater and it worked although it took more muscles than I thought I had. My husband came home and I showed the hand beater to him. It was from Nana, his grandmother. He looked at it and noted the top handle and the grip that moves the beaters were vintage green. He thought it might be from the 1930's. Isn't it amazing how some old things really do still work? My husband said this was the best banana nut bread I have ever made. It must have been. I ate two slices and he ate three, all covered with butter! @joybringer1
