Paul: Don't look.

This is my new mixer:

I <3 my mixer. :D

It makes fabulous dough for wheat bread, as seen here:

And then today I had the bright idea to make these w/ my new mixer:

^^in pans for the second rise

^^Lots of cinnamon rolls

^^Cinnamon rolls on macro. :)

I had one..and it came back up. Stupid me--it's only been 5 years since stomach surgery. One would assume I would know how to eat. . Duh.

For dough (bread, sweet dough, etc) you need a dough hook, but you have to be careful about how many cups of flour the motor can handle. Cuisinart probably gives you that info in the manual somewhere. It's a really good brand, so I'm sure it's a decent amount. Here's a link I found for attachments- :::link:::

I fell in love with the red KitchenAid mixer years ago and have been whining about it ever since. We lucked out in finding the "Professional HD" model at Sam's club for $249. (Lever-lift bowl instead of tilt-head) The Artisan one I've been wanting goes for between $260 and #340.

mrdeadlier writes at 12:09:06 01/16/08 - Comment #30468: My wife has been pining for one of these for a while now. I definitely have to surprise her with one someday. But lately she's been saying that all she needs is the whisk attachment for her Cuisinart and then she won't need the KA mixer.

Does that sound right?

Happy new...wow..it's been almost a year

I just realized that I haven't posted to (e:strip) in a while. "A While" in my world being almost an entire year.

So what has happened in this almost-year?

Not much. :)

Still in school full-time and getting awesome grades. yay!

Still working in my soul-sucking swing shift job that pays WAY too well, and therefore, retains employees. However, I am planning on quitting after this coming semester is over. I will have the last 2 classes I need to get my Teacher's Aide certificate, so I will be able to get some experience in my field while completing my degree.

Hmm... Made it out to a few concerts over the summer and saw some (e:peeps), think I made it out to one or 2 PMT get togethers, went to NYC last May and was ready to go back the minute we left. (you really can't beat staying on the Upper West Side, 1 block from H&H Bagels)

Got together with friends far too little. Yet another side effect of working swing shift. :( The dinner at J.P. bullfeathers tonight is a prime example. meh.

Err...Hmm... My daughter was finally diagnosed with Asperger's Disorder, after years of incorrect diagnoses. I fought w/ the school system/Committee on Special Education for months and finally had to get a lawyer before they would listen to me, but she's finally in a setting where the teachers work with her instead of against her.

Several friends/acquaintances had babies, effectively turning up the volume on my own biological clock at a very inopportune time. :p

Spoke to a mortgage broker (last week) and am *hopefully* going to start the home buying process shortly.

Yep....that's my "year away from posting to (e:strip)" in review. :)
