Getting Things Done – a poem
Get the things done that you’re supposed To, but you never really get around to. You’d make better time if there weren’t Toadstools to wade through, Puddles to splash in, Dead ends You feel Yourself stumbling into In the most amazing of ways – Faces that all but say what you’ve got to say – Them stopping, you standing there in time with it And a part of you saying – I can stop this too. Them saying – You’re not supposed to be here. You saying – So why not? All of you thinking – Why? Why should Anything in the world have to be what? Why is it all right When I have Pure reason tell me But a word or a kiss Can’t stop What I know Is just supposed to be here.

How to Clean and Maintain Your Bread Machine by Geoff Peters, Home Baker Extraordinaire
I’ve been making bread for years now, and I love my bread machine. But the most challenging part is when the machine starts squeaking. Bread machines need some lubrication now and then. But despite what you may read online, don’t use sewing machine oil or 3-in-1 oil, as these oils are poisionous. Instead, find a food grade (H1 rated) chain lubrication designed for lubricating chains inside commercial ovens in food plants. These are usually rated to very high temperatures – you should look for a lubricant that has a flash point of around 375 degrees F or higher, as the lubricant needs to remain stable even through multiple baking cycles. I recommend the Food Plant Chain Lube from CRC, which is available in Canada through business supply store websites such as Grainger or Tenaquip.
Apply the lubrication to the underside of the bread pan, on the top of the shaft attachment to the rotator clip. Just a squirt or two, and then rotate the shaft holding the pan upside-down to allow the lubrication to penetrate the shaft. This should hopefully solve any squeaking issues with your machine and keep it baking for many years to come.
