Caught in the act

As a child I thought these would chop my fingers off and I've always given them a wide berth. I wasn't cautious enough with this, however:

Last week while making bread, this beast caught the index finger on my right hand. When it happened I didn't dare look at my hand, but I thought my innards were oozing out through my finger. It turned out to be bread dough. It's been healing well, but Nick is convinced I broke it.
Don't forget to make us laugh, make us cry or gross us out with your rodent stories.

That is quite a hefty breadmaker. You're lucky it didn't pull your entire body in. Where did you get that thing?

It came in the house. Bob, our landlord, saw it in the back of someone's truck and offered him $50. Quite a deal. I can make six loaves of French bread and two pizza crusts in one batch.

wow, we used one about that size when I worked at a bakery/deli.

So, you announce that you are going to make an announcement then never do - that's a clever way to get people to keep reading your blog.

I thought it was clever too, but then it only worked on you and Jan. Too bad.
I do have an announcement, it's just taking longer to get to announcement-stage than I anticipated. Too bad.

I want to think that I know your announcement based on your blog o'the week. The baby name wizard.

I don't think that's a hint. I like baby names. Plus, you already know the announcement Jan. And so does anyone who reads this, probably. But I need to make it official.
