Quilting Raven - I can not for the life of me imagine how you managed to clean up that mess!! Your description paints quite a picture!! While I am sure it wasn't funny at the time, hopefully you are laughing about it (sorry .... lol ... I did
). The good news is that it sounds like the only causality was the mixer attachment (which I would ask for a replacement for). So did you finish the jam?? and how was it?
But while I was reading your description , it brought back memories of a neighbor long ago (back when we were newly married). He was a hunter and had a piece of frozen of venison that his wife only wanted a steak from. He convinced her that he could use a new blade which he would wash and his circular saw. He did this of course in the kitchen. Well as you all remember that back in the 70s popcorn ceilings were all the rage and yup the frozen meat particles went everywhere - they were both covered, the kitchen cabinets, floor and yup .... that popcorn ceiling.
