Re: Re: can you freeze souffle bread?

Hey Amber,

You can get hand mixers really inexpensively at amazon among other places.

These three, for example.

Just a suggestion.

I don't either. I just do it on very low in the oven.

Woof! I'd put a hand-mixer on my list of things to get! Hand-whisking

those egg whites is gonna give you serious MUSCLES in your whisking

arm!

Yeah, I'm thinking a hand mixer would be a good gift request for either

my birthday or Christmas!

Next day, I had a hand mixer....

if I'd had the counter space, I'd've tried for a stand mixer, but I'm

scorched if I know where I'd put the darn thing!
