No, this is a loaner from Beck. The State Fair folks gave me beau coup
pkgs of quick-rise yeast and I thought that's what the bread machine
needed. NOT. LOL! I had the kids bring the machine here for a visit
while they're at Disneyworld with La Twerp. I don't know where they're
staying and Beck's without her cell phone during the day. Blahblahblah.
It appears to have worked itself out here. :-/ Operator Error.
