Â* You see how bad it's gotten ?Â* Can't even nuke an egg without an app
! I forgot when I said in another thread that I was going to make bread
yesterday ... that the oven was out of service . The control board died
, new one arrived yesterday about noon . So this morning I made 3
batches of dough . 2 loaves , 15 hot dog buns , 12 burger buns . Then
discovered I still had a loaf out in the big freezer . And NOT ONCE did
I use a cell phone , a computer , or an app . The nearest I came was the
mechanical timers I use to time rise and bake cycles . Well , and the
electronic control on the oven . I'd have analog if it was still
available ...
