Breadmakers Caveat

Do not ever leave your bread sponge sitting in the kitchen while you go write a witty book review for your blog. For if you do, that will be the time that Blogger will lock up on you and put two incomplete posts on your blog. You will then have to spend time deleting them and fixing things up. While you do this your sponge will have been rising and rising, then finally overflowing its bowl. You will return to the kitchen to find bread dough on the counter, on the mixer, all over the mixer bowl (a la Lucy Ricardo!). You will then have to punch dough the sponge, and clean up the mess before you can proceed to the next stage of the breadmaking process.

How do I know? Well let's just say that I now have a bowl sitting in the sink soaking bread dough off both the outside and the inside. I suspect that Lucy was a sanguine too!
