i'm in love. I finally got a chance to use the kitchen aid mixer that we received as a wedding gift. Originally I didn't even really want one - they're so huge and heavy, and I was afraid that it would take up way too much space in our cabinets. Plus we already had a mixer. But I said, OK, why not, add it to the registry. Our friends Andrew and Anindita (the awesome friends that they are) actually bought it for us (they have one too!). I haven't had much time to cook since we moved, so it was just gathering dust in the cabinet and I had kind of forgotten about it.
Of course, with Christmas being right around the corner, I wanted to make some holiday cookies. So I broke out the kitchen aid. And it was AMAZING. It's like I've been driving a Hyundai all my life, thinking that it was a pretty good car, and then I test drive a BMW. Geez. It's quiet and fast. It mixed the dough really evenly, and I barely put it above the second lowest setting. Everything about it is smooth - the lever to raise and lower the bowl, the switch that turns it on, the mixing action itself.
Everyone should have a kitchen aid.
