PONGAL
Pongal is a four-day harvest festival celebrated in Tamil Nadu, a southern state of India. It is typically celebrated in the month of January, and it is one of the most important festivals for the Tamil people. The name "Pongal" means "boiling over" or "overflowing," and it is celebrated to mark the start of the northeastern monsoon and the harvest of crops such as rice and sugarcane. The festival is marked by prayers to the sun, the moon, and the Lord of Prosperity, as well as to cows and bulls, which are seen as symbols of wealth and ploughing. The festival is also marked by traditional Pongal sweet dishes, dance, and music.

WHY I BOUGHT A BREADMAKER AND THE REASON YOU SHOULD TOO!
I purchased a bread maker machine for my home for a variety of reasons. I wanted to remove some of the less healthy components and preservatives from my family’s diet because my wife and I and our three children are all bread, dough, and baked goods lovers and we always have a few items from the bakery department on hand as well as 2 or 3 loaves of bread but there just always seemed to be that processed flavor. I figured it only made sense to test and see if we could create some of these delicious goods ourselves.
