No - I didn't buy a bread machine - I'm still using that old 50's model - leftie and rightie - but a friend of mine uses hers daily and passed on some recipes. Heck - colonial Bread - like from the colonial days???? Leftie and rightie did all the work!! LOL

No - I'm still on "automatic leftie and rightie" - I'm too spoiled by the way I can shape my bread and do things I want with it.
