In the absences of my mentor, Joe "Julia" Valencic, I have endeavored to carry on the bread making colors. Since I am mourning the absences of my mentor I decided not to make anything flashy or elaborate. So, on Independence Day, I baked a two pound loaf of simple white bread in honor of my missing mentor.

The return of my mentor is anxiously awaited as I do not know If I can pump out the bread at his incredible pace! I do pray that flybinder will take it easy on me as I am the newbie to the world of the "Sunbeam miracle bread machine" but being a vet I ought to know better.
