more domesticity

Today we bought a breadmaker, an ice cream maker, and some new vitreous enamel baking sheets to replace the crappy non-stick ones we've had for the past n years. The breadmaker we wanted was out of stock, but it's coming on Friday. THE EXCITEMENT!! We got the super de-luxe model with a separate compartment that'll toss fruit or nuts or chocolate chips into the dough halfway through, so it'll be very good for making low-fat dessert bread, which is basically what I want it for (dessert bread and pizza dough).

Now Richard is washing down walls, and I'm painting the damn shelves. The ones we've had since we moved in, that I half-painted last year ;) Later on I'm going to check my vegan ice cream book to see whether it has a mint chocolate chip ice cream recipe, and if not google for one :D
