Bump and grind it baby!
Now that depression week is over, I think I'm going crazy. Last weekend, we bought a new KitchenAid Professional 6 mixer. This thing weighs 25 lbs, holds 6 quarts, and has a 525 watt motor. You can get attachments that makes pasta, grinds wheat into flour, and many other uses! There's just the 2 of us, combined eating of about 1 1/2 cups of food, and we have a mixer that can knead 7 cups of flour into bread! So far this week, I've baked 3 loaves of bread and a triple batch of peanut butter cookies. It makes a difference using a good mixer. The dough/batter is smoother and better mixed. The cookies were perfect. I only got to eat one, the rest fed the crowds at work. It can be quite soothing to run the mixer as it gently bumps along. This is going to be one fun holiday season! Maybe I'll enter a cook-off or two.
