Snowflake Challenge Day 3

Day 3

In your own space, share a favorite piece of original canon (a TV episode, a song, a favorite interview, a book, a scene from a movie, etc) and explain why you love it so much. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I recently rewatched some of early Sleepy Hollow and there's just so much great stuff about it. TPTB carefully researched language differences (well, sometimes, we'll ignore the Roanoke episode) and worked in little ways Ichabod's would differ from Abbie's. Like in this small scene:



(wherein Ichabod uses a term he knows to refer to Wendy the receptionist)

And this great exchange where Ichabod explains that, for him, a toilet was a vanity closet, intercourse meant social conversation, and awesome meant awe inspiring.

Also there were so many little examples of modern day things he comes across like when - just to name a few - he discovers scotchtape, copies Abbie to learn to open an aluminum can, tries on skinny jeans, and my absolute favorite... wherein he is taught the 'fistbump.'

Breadmachines?

Bad wrists and general health issues prevent me from making bread from scratch as often as I'd like and a bit back I pulled back out and started using a very old bread machine passed down to me by someone combining households ages back. Considering I got it over 20 yrs ago and it was used at the time it's not surprising that it finally died on me. Sad and frustrating, but not surprising.

Anyone have any experience with machines currently on the market? I didn't wind up getting anything for Hanukkah for myself so I have a bit of a budget but I'd rather not just buy one blind or based off Amazon reviews if I can help it. The super well regarded Zojirushi is currently close to half off at Amazon and I am rather tempted by it especially since I have enough gift cards I earned via swagbucks to cover it. Most review sites online put it as the (or one of the) best, but I thought I'd see if anyone had any experience with it or any others before plunking down that kind of money.
