Some will say it's a sign of a mid-life crisis. What, you ask?
I bought a little red convertible yesterday. Yes, you heard me right. A little red convertible.
Alison was with me when I did it. And she approved of the purchase. In fact, she encouraged me to buy it.
Is it any wonder why I love her so much?
Click the link to see a picture of it.
Not only do I thank Alison for her encouragement, but I must thank my sister Jo Ann for helping to make it possible. She gave me a Williams-Sonoma gift card for Christmas.
While I don't fault Alison for her taste (Kitchen-Aid being superb), is it possible for you to put it back in it's box to take it back and get the Professional Series?
That particular bowl (Artisan, right?) will end up driving you crazy. The Professional model has a much better bowl design that you will be able to raise and lower.
The color is great, BTW!

Those things? Awesome. We've had one for a few years and haven't even begun to explore its potential.

What fantastic culinary creation will you christen it with?

Sweet ride.. I swear my wife has the exact same mixer, except it's yellow. Nice buy!

*look of envy* though I can't complain much- we just purchased a Kitchen Aid food processor with all the bells and whistles- I'll have to post a picture of the new purchase on my site! Wanna race???

Wow now THAT'S a lady in red. I've asked for one of those for my birthday. Well, I ask every year *sigh*
I can't wait to see what you are inspired to cook. Nothing like new gear to make you want to dive in and create masterpieces.

Enjoy

Oooooh, I loves me some horsepower in kitchen appliances! I wouldn't part with my KSM5 for love or money. Well, maybe for love.
Nah.

It was for your birthday, old man. But I do hope you enjoyed making pizza tonight.

I thought you meant the CAR, and couldn't figure out where it was. I am always thinking I am at fault for not seeing a link.

That's a beauty :) Great mixer too.

You are such a tease...and yes, that should make all the girls lust for you!

You will love this like your own flesh and blood.
I rarely go a week without using mine; I cannot imagine living without it.
Time to bake!
Posted by: PhC | January 29, 2006 at 22:14
Ohh--- you are going to love it. I can make two batches of Snickerdoodles at one time in mine - and I have an older smaller model.
Have fun!!!!
