Man those kitchen aid mixers really are great if you do a lot of baking.



I've always wanted one purely because of how they look, but then I realized.. I've lived here and been cooking daily for a year and have not yet used my hand mixer one single time. So it's not worth me spending the money on the nice stand-alone KitchenAid ones.

Nah, tell your concerned married friends that you're entertaining the idea of getting married for such purpose, and they'll chip in and buy you one to save you the headache.

But LL, if you DID have a KA mixer, imagine all the yummy cupcakes you could make.

I'd love to have one, and I would definitely use it, especially the dough hook to make homemade pizza dough. Unfortunately space is an issue in my kitchen. My dream kitchen has a pastry area complete with a hidden cabinet for things like this.

Well that's just it. I don't eat sweets and I don't ever even attempt to bake (not a fan of exact measurements).

I'd love to do the pizza dough though! And I like it for homemade mashed potatoes :D

I feel your pain! Brag bought this house without my opinion (we didn't know at the time I'd be moving in) and he unfortunately didn't notice there is no pantry. We are in the process of getting a stand-alone one, but regardless.. the kitchen is cluttered with all the cooking stuff I own.

Yeah, but here's the rub LL... You spend the money and it kind of makes you to justify buying it, and then before you know it you're doing things you never thought you'd attempt because quite honestly, it's like anything, good tools make it fun and more enjoyable to do more complex food, baking, etc.

That's very true..

Mom always told me when I get married, that's what she'll get me for my shower so I'll have to remind her she said that

True story. My wife used to work at a gourmet store in Jackson. One day this little man came into the store and asked to look at their best knives. She took him to the Wusthof knives and told him these were her favorites (they carried several top-of-the-line brands). A smile came across his face and he said, "Wolfgang Wusthof. Pleasure to meet you." He was apparently heading down to New Orleans from Memphis for a big convention. I know, :CSB:
