Wow, Suzanne you are busy, wish I could bake with you. I told my husband I wanted a KitchenAid this year, if I get nothing else I want one (we have put if off the last few years due to the prices).
But I find it is getting harder and harder for me to do hand mixing of baked goods and even meatloaf, so this should really help with that alone. He ordered one for me, and I know it is a manufacturer refurbished one, but I am excited.
