Crying out pain at the center of the world
For the record, I would like to state how much I hate to subject my loyal friends out there to a volley of my complains.
But this materialistic and selfish heart of mine gives a tweak of pain whenever I see the numerous deep fissures along the bread pan in my spanking new bread maker. I had only used it twice before lending it to a good friend and it came back decorated on the inside with lines.
This deep affection for non-stick surfaces stems from the time I went utensil shopping with my aunt for our new condo at Hazel Park. After much consideration, we bought an extremely expensive frying pan from Taka, and I loved its non-stick surface to bits. Of course, we also bought a nylon headed spatula to lovingly and gently stroke the non-stick surface. Since the pan was really very expensive, I was real careful with it. Imagine my pleasure when frying a perfect egg sans fattening oil, courtesy of the wonderful non-stick surface.This marks the beginning of my lingering affair with non-stick surfaces.
My appreciation of non-stick surface continues into my life in Sapporo. I actually changed my frying pan once cos the first cheapo one I bought had a non-stick surface that cheated on me and disappeared within a year. Thus, the equation: lots of cash=good non-stick surface.
So imagine my heart pain when I see my moh peng bread pan. I had already made a decision to buy an extra bread pan before bringing the machine back home next year. But my useless heart can't help but twitch in pain at this carnage before me.
Onto a happier note, here is the wholemeal bread I made from my breadmaker:
