I have an extremely gross problem.

[ponygurl]

This is so ridiculous, it should have happened to a man. ;D
Christmas day.. when I was a complete mess.. I made dough in my bread maker for buns, and popped the pan back into the breadmaker to put it out of the way in my very small kitchen with just water in it. I did not wash the remaining dough out of it. I closed the lid.. and forgot it. This is January 6th. Today I needed to use the breadmaker.
I opened the lid. Wow.... I have not smelled anything that disgusting since I smelled a decaying skunk last summer. I have aired it.. scrubbed it with vinegar, scrubbed it with javex, scrubbed it with baking soda.. I cannot make it stop. Help.. any ideas? :-\

Good old fashioned bleach soaking.

Too bad Squirt isn't back ... he's had experience with this type of thing. ;)

Been there done that.. but I cannot soak the baking chamber.. i can only wipe that.

Well I know this is not going to sound like a solution....what if you just try and bake something in it and then throw it away? Whats the worst that can happen? It sounds like it is clean just stinky?

Run it through a baking cycle with nothing in it. It will burn everything off.

[ponygurl]

God.. I know I have to heat it up.. but I'm thinking.. if it sealed well enough to hide the smell.. it should while it's baking too.. right?

No, the vent will blow out the smell. Do you have weather nice enough to put it on the porch or outside or garage when you do this dastardly deed?

Make sure it's not anywhere near anything that is flammable.

[ponygurl]

And it's too damn cold to open the windows.. :-X

Throw away the bread maker and make your bread by hand, I guarantee you'll never have this problem again.

I am a single mother, have a full time job and 4 kids.. I think I'll stick with the breadmaker.

Well, I can only give you the solution to getting rid of the stench. I can't control your fucking weather.

Get a grip. Figure it out.

This makes me feel a bit better, I'm not the only woman who is in danger of losing her girl card. ;D

Pony use the garage if you have one.

I have a grip.. and I didn't ask you to fix my fucking weather. I stated.. it's cold. And no where did i address this thread to BADNEWS only.. sheesh.. get over yourself. ::)
I think I'll wait till the kids are in bed to heat that sucker up. ;D

Why aren't your kids making the bread?

Im still waiting for his Badzness to answer what the heck jasmine rice is. He knows I dont cook much. I dont like messing up the kitchen. Im anal like that lol

This still isn't as bad as the time my brother in law phoned me to ask me how to get the tupperware off the bottom of the oven. His Significant other used to shove it in the oven.. how dumb is THAT.. and he turned it on without looking. :o

Well, the only "solution" I saw was to give it a vinegar douche and/or to wait for Dip Shit's (junior's) return who is fully capable of destroying a microwave oven.

If you need me, you know my email address. You know you're going to fail without my logical advice. Some people can't be helped.

Don't wait on him, he's been a major grump lately.

Jasmine rice (http://www.therice.org/jasmine/oview.htm), I highly recommend trying it.

[ponygurl]

Why aren't your kids making the bread?

Because they are bathing, doing homework, and going to bed.

Look dipshit.. I ACCEPT that heating it up is the solution.. now accept that.. ::) :)

I did not state that that is all they do. I stated that is what they are doing at this time.
They are 13, 11, 10 and 4.

The four year old is off the hook, but I was helping cook by age 10. I could have made bread by age 13 if anyone had asked me to. In fact making a loaf of bread is the least she can do for you.

My 13 yr old looks after her sisters when I work, cooks them dinner, puts the little one to bed, cleans up and manages her homework. I think she does pretty damn good.

Are you cranky by chance? ;D

You mentioned skunk. I don't know if it is just a property of skunk juice that makes tomato juice the proper cure for the stench. It might be worth a try to wash the thing with tomato joice and see what happens.

I was unable to get skunk out of dog by using tomato juice this summer when apparently the stupid skunk thought an old blind dog was a threat and sprayed her. I ended up taking her to the vet who used some other kind of stuff on her.

Oh, sure. Good idea. Dip the bread maker in tomato juice. ::)

Make sure it's unplugged first. ::)

Look...I don't pretend to play a fucking guitar. A guitar player shouldn't pretend to know what he's doing in the kitchen.

I don't know shit about the kitchen but I do have experience with getting stink off of a dog. My dog got hosed point blank. Tomato joice worked not only on the dog but on everything he rubbed his nose on before we caught him and corralled him into the laundry room.

Did he get inside a bread maker?

I know that a smoke alarm freaks out Chihuahuas. I wouldn't presume to build a smoke alarm, though.

The best thing you can do for a scared puppy is to hit her to make her forget she's afraid.

This probably works on children as well.

Armadillo piss is good for getting the skunk smell off.

Oh that seems like something I'd be able to find on every pet store shelf in Michigan. Great idea there Lone! :-*

You can buy it by the pint down here but usually if you sneak up behind them and grab them when they're not looking (they're sorta blind anyway), have another person hold out a jar they'll piss right into it.


You're welcome.

I'll pass on ever eating any of YOUR bread if it does...not that I could anyway.

I'm not sure .... maybe. ;D

I've come to the conclusion that the best way to calm a Chihuahua down after their being frightened by a smoke alarm is to give them a bone.

This probably works on humans as well.

You are probably right jeny. I dont think they should be more than 60 - 100 bux. www.target.com

[jeny]

For $60, I would not waste my time cleaning the stink for more than an hour or so. But then some people think I'm nut for washing my kid's diapers by myself, mostly to save money.

[ponygurl]

I cannot afford to toss everything. I will fix it if i can.

If I had one Id send it to you god knows everything else in my kitchen is basically just here for me to dust with my work schedule

[ilovelucy]

Whatdoya say?

Why shouldn't be chip in and start a new breadmaker fund for pony.

I pledge five bucks mailed to Lance.

[ponygurl]

Well.. I ran a cycle through of water and baking soda. It smells better.Not perfect.. better. I am going to make a loaf of bread.. and I'm sure it will be ok then. (I hope).
As for buying a new one... not only am I poor, but I'm also the type of person who will not throw out things if they are fixable. I buy my clothes at second hand shops. I buy my dishes at second hand shops. I guess I am frugal.. or cheap. Who knows.
I grew up listening to stories of what life was like in Canada during the depression, and the struggle my folks had, and I guess some of it was ingrained into me.
But thanks anyhow. :)

Do you save string? I have never understood why people of the depression era save string in their junk drawers. Do you fold paper bags and store them for later use or do you stuff them in the recycling bin once you've used them?

There's a good thread topic. What sort of stuff do YOU have in your junk drawer? Do you keep pins, paper clips, rubberbands, super glue bottles with that glue plug that makes them unuseable unless you cut half of the pointy tip off the next time and then it all spills out in a whoosh and you glue your fingers together? A couple of pairs of scissors of various sizes and an exacto knife or razor blade to cut yourself on because you forget they are in there when you are rifling around looking for the tiny screwdriver to fix your glasses?

My mother saves string. She saves string ebcause she learned that if she didn't many years ago.. she would not have anything to tie bags with. She remembers when they had no nylon stockings.. they had to wear these butt ugly wool things they knit, because there was so much not available.
She remembers when, if the cow went dry, you had no milk all winter till the calf was born in the spring.
She saves bags, cause she learned that if she didn't.. they wold have nothing to store leftovers in. It's not silly. It was survival.
I think.. to an extent.. to stop doing these things wold almost be viewed as a lack of respect for what their parents had to do to raise their families in that time. I have heard nothing but EXTREME admiration from either of my parents about the hard work my grandparents did to raise them then.

My 103 year old great aunt has some habits that are truly bizarre in the modern world. I'm not faulting people nor making fun of them for continuing practices which they grew up with. None of us can even begin to imagine life during the depression. My parents tell the stories and my mind reels at them. My parents were well off. My life experience is that everything is disposable. If something breaks you buy a new one. If you need something and you tossed or used up the last one you buy more. This is probably the reason I'm broke all the time. :)

Awright, funny Fabled PC story:

We were living in a trailer on a mountaintop (we had lotsa land, but just a trailer). It was the dead of winter. PC was gonna make bread for the first time ever for her two babies and Your Humble Obdn't &tc.

She simply slap read the recipe wrong.

Instead of 1/4 cup of yeast, she used FOUR FULL CUPS of yeast.

Mixed up the dough, and was sorta getting it ready for the oven, lettin' it sit and rise...

Yup. It began to RISE!!!

Oh, my... she watched it filling the table, and it began to slop over. She was running around the kitchen table, grabbing great handfuls of it drooping over, and throwing it back on the huge mound.

It was making NOISES.

She began to whimper.

I came in (just getting home from work).

There my very darling was... looking like nothing so much as a Lucille Ball comedy sketch, with a sofa-sized mass of dough *glorping* and sorta "farting"... and MOVING.

I laughed so hard I spotted. Then my beloved precious saw the humor of it, and SHE began laughing. It took us ten minutes to carry all the stuff outdoors (raccoons and stuff ate it all during the night).

Her second attempt (considerably later) was a wonderful success... few things in this world smell better than fresh bread baking... not even cake.
