No, this isn't some sort of alien egg incubator — it's a breadbox. Yes, the strangest-looking breadbox ever made, but a breadbox nonetheless. The purple glow you see is actually UV light, which keeps your hearty wheat from getting moldy and, in theory, gives it a healthy tan. The breadbox can purportedly keep a loaf fresh for weeks past its expiration date. In order to not roast your precious bread with too much UV light, there's a timer built in that will turn the light on and off at random intervals, as I assume keeping the bread guessing about when the light will come back on keeps it fresh. Now this isn't available in stores; rather, it's a do-it-yourself project, so go ahead and check out the instructions, crack a bottle of vino, put your latent handyman skills to good use, and really earn that PB&J this time.

this is a fantastic idea. i have sent it to my sister and i will print out the directions and see if i can build it. it would be a fantastic project for christmas gifts (for my brothers and other members of the families on my husbands and sister's side)........... but first, an actual, living, breathing breadbox for us to peruse. thanx so much of this idea.
