*ta, ta ta ta* HEAR YE, HEAR YE! All ye lords and ladies, gather around for a momentous tale of adventure, wit, skill, and kitchen appliances! Hear ye, hear ye! *ta, ta ta ta*
And now, without further ado, I present to the court your own Royal Highness’ first episode with her knight in shining armor, her Kitchen Aid Mixer!
I admit…my first interaction with the yet-unnamed Knight was risky and bold: I planned to make two loaves of cinnamon bread in a machine I had never worked with before. PLUS, I also wanted to bake 3 dozens cookies while the loaves were rising. Pretty ambitious for a Kitchen Aid virgin.
I rolled my sleeves up, donned my apron, and set to work. I was all a-twitter with excitement. After carefully melting a butter/milk/sugar/salt mixture on the stove, I added that to some dissolved yeast, waiting patiently for me in my brand new mixing bowl.
I happen to love that picture, because it combines two of my loves this Christmas: my new camera, and my new appliance. So much love in one photo…I can’t bear it!
