I have a breadmachine

It was a birthday present and it makes me ever so happy. I can cook just about everything (except for a damn grilled cheese as witnessed below, and bake just about anything. Except when yeast is involved. For some magical reason, it just refuses to work for me. But thanks to the magic of my bread machine, I have to worry about that no longer. I've already made (and almost devoured, along with my roommates) 2 1.5 pound loaves of white bread. The leftover ends are going to be made into bread pudding this weekend. I'm pretty excited.
Since April is national grilled cheese month, I took it upon myself to take some of the freshly baked bread and make a delicious sandwich of black forest ham and dill Havarti:

I also made the same sandwich the next day, but didn't toast it. It was actually better cold. What can you do?
I also made a batch of homemade snickers bars (recipe from Chow). I altered it slightly, in that instead of using 'real' chocolate for the coating, I used Wilton's candy melts (I had an excess of them from a 40% off sale at Jo Ann Fabrics). When making the caramel for this, you have to temp it. Poor old me, without a candy thermometer, right? I found a way to improvise, by clipping my digital read onto a wire whisk and precariously balancing it. Worked like a charm:

They were still delicious, and were devoured by my coworkers. i think they were slightly more of a Baby Ruth, but not gross. Perhaps what a Baby Ruth SHOULD taste like?
