bread machine attribution irritation
I know it's stupid to get exercised by these things but... I brought a 1.3K pain au levain to a potluck lunch today. It came out very nicely and I was proud to bring it. One woman asked me what type of bread it was. As I was answering someone else piped up and asked if I had used a bread machine. What? I brought a large scored boule dusted with coarse rye flour, with a spiral pattern from the brotform and she thinks I used a bread machine? What sort of machine would that be? Geez. And that's not the first time. Every time I mention that I make bread as a hobby, someone inevitably asks me if I use a bread machine. Why is that the default? Ok. Done now. -Varda
