<p>Well, the bread machine is rocking and rolling! I'm not a bread expert, so this is a fun way to start. Prep time is about 10 minutes for a loaf of delicious bread. So, it's easy to put the ingredients in the machine, press the button and wait a few hours. Voila! It's done!…</p>

<p>I'm on my third loaf now. I've tried making a basic loaf using white flour, a whole wheat loaf and today I'm making a Russian Rye. Here's how (thanks to the folks at <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/russian-rye-bread-for-the-bread-machine-264809" target="_blank">www.Food.com</a>):</p>

<p>Food dot com and others make learning to do stuff like this so easy. Thanks, and please surf to their site sometime and give them your attention, because they have tons of good stuff.</p>

<p>I just got a bread machine from the resale shop.</p>

<p>It's a $10.99 wonder from our local, wonderful resale shop. All purchases benefit needy hospice care recipients, and that's something…</p>

<p>Well, at least that's the vision. I mentioned it to my gardening neighbor Mary yesterday and she said "I just do it by hand", not at all disdainfully. We kept talking as I planted some heirloom daikon radish seeds from a few years ago when Shmal's wonderful crop was flourishing. That's a photo of 'em above.</p>

That's a whole 'nother story. I gave Mary a few seeds, so maybe soon, we'll have more sushi handroll fixin's.</p>

<p>Zoobird started out as a blog. Click <a href="http://zoobird.wordpress.com/category/human-beans/" target="_blank">here</a> if you're interested in seeing what this zesty community looked like way back in the single digits (2008).</p>

<p>I looked up a recipe to give it a try. Here's what I found right off the bat:</p>

<p>So, here's what I'm doing as we speak. I had some Fleishman's yeast (do I need bread machine yeast?), so it's soaking (Madge, you're soaking in it!) in some warm water and two heaping tbsp of turbinado sugar. I don't have any veg oil, so I'm going to try olive oil. And, I don't know what bread flour is. I've got some "flour", so that's what I'm using. Stay tuned! This is so exciting...It's 4:11. By 4:20 it should be ready for step two!</p>

<p>Is that Preston Reed I hear on my new Pandora station? Yep! It sure enough is! Dustin set me up with the "<a href="http://www.pandora.com/station/play/1082663502698905929" target="_blank">Keller Williams" custom station</a> so now I can listen to the same jams at Zoobird HQ as I do at my fav bike shop, <a href="http://www.bikecoffeehouse.com/" target="_blank">8ABC</a>. Thanks, Dustin! I remember Preston Reed from back when and I just love what he does with that guitar. Good to hear he's still making such music. Dustin customized the Pandora station by "mixing" in some music from the <a href="http://stringcheeseincident.com/" target="_blank">String Cheese Incident</a>. I like it. You ever wonder how Pandora does it's stuff, just listen to the <a href="http://Swampcast.com" target="_blank">Swampcast</a> Tim Westergren (CEO) or Tom Conrad (CTO) podcasts. Cool! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hang in there - it's time to add the oil, flour and turn that baby on! Stay tuned!</p>
