Anyone else remember around 1993/1994 when everyone made bread? It was like a little trend.

Then it happened again during the pandemic. That made sense. Everyone was home all day with nothing to do. But I liked the 1990s trend more. Probably because the world wasn’t also in the midst of an unstopable pandemic.

    I remember my mom got a bread machine and we used it like ten times. I don’t remember what happened to it, but we went through the same thing during the pandemic.

        You should make bread …… but only if you can control it. I’m another one of many who gained way too much weight. I got a bread machine over pandemic and made a loaf every Saturday night. The problem was I swear it was a full year before there was anything left to wrap and put away.

        Then I got some blood tests back. And it was bread. All bread.

    In my mind bread machines are still “new” I remember when my grandmother got one and I’d never seen or heard of anything like it before.

    Then I realized that was, yes, probably right around ‘93/‘94, and they’ve been around for over 30 years at least

    Mother had a bread machine she used relatively frequently. I have very old bread machine cookbooks. Those things were very popular at the time! And cookbooks in weird shapes? Like these were rectangular and not er…normal book shaped??
