My new toy!




You know sometimes you just need to buy yourself a prezzie...this was my prezzie. I forgot to write about it weeks ago, but we have been having fun. Here are the deets.
White Wizard is my Kitchen Aid Artisan mixer. She's got 325 Watts of power, 10 speeds, tilting head, 3 tools, 5 quart stainless steel bowl...pretty special gal to me.

My favorite part is that she could be considered adopted ("Refurbished" is the technical name). This means that she wasn't wanted for some reason and was returned to the Kitchen Aid store. She could have been a surprise wedding present or faulty in some way, what i do know is that they took her apart looked for anything broken and sent her to me (for a very discounted price). Some people could have dings or imperfections on their mixer, but White Wizard came in perfect condition.

It took a lot of time to decide what i should make first. Our first time together should be special and create something memorable. I decided to go with my favorite cookie...oatmeal chocolate chip. Unlike my most recent cookie making experience this one came out a million times better! We ate all the cookies right away. Actually i ate a pile before i left town and then Joe played the faithful role of disposal.
