rowangolightlyDouble batch of banana bread dough will not fit into either of my glass bowls; the popcorn bowl had to be pressed into duty.
*whine* I reallyreallyreally want a Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer (cobalt blue if we're being picky) 'cause mixing that banana bread dough was really too much for my poor old ancient electric hand mixer.
But there's one loaf each of plain, one with pecans and one with pecans, coconut and chocolate chips in the oven now.
One important note: having a habit of shaking out old gardening shoes before putting them on is a GOOD thing...especially with a history of seeing an occasional brown recluse around the house. *shudder*
And I don't think I'm gonna get a new bodice done for this weekend but I'm still gonna try.

Envy, they name is Kitchen-Aid
Date: 2008-04-03 03:48 pm (UTC)I remember my grandmother's old mixer (and if it's not a Kitchen-Aid then my memory is playing tricks on me), and the fond stories she told of it being an anniversary present. My mother's mixer was a wedding present. I guess it's fitting, since they are so intimately involved in the nourishment of the family on a practical level, and are one of the few kitchen gadgets that really are likely to last a lifetime of the recipients :)
Geez, listen to me - waxing rhapsodic over a mixer. Yeah. I'm smitten :)

But hey, at least it's not Thanksgiving as it was the first time it did this!

Date: 2008-04-03 03:54 pm (UTC)I keep saying that one of these days I'm going to replace my standard microwave with a convection oven. Or get a toaster oven. Or both.
So far, none of the above have materialized - I wish I had a spare oven to send you though :(

Date: 2008-04-03 04:02 pm (UTC)I just need to get the repair guy out here to look at it. YAY, it just beeped so that the pre-heating is done!
