Gemma – I love what you wrote, largely because it used the word pistachio and that must be a lovely color of the mixer (why haven’t I noticed it?). And I also have a food processor (handed down), and I almost never used it – love my stick blender SO much more.

Kelley – How cute are you guys? I can totally understand the love of kitchen gadgets (and the underlying motives).

I bought a KitchenAid for Steve’s birthday a year or two after we got married. It’s hard to say which of us uses/enjoys it more! But it was a sign of what was to come — we are the King and Queen of buying kitchen gadgets for each other with the underlying motive of using them ourselves.

I have a hand mixer and it’s fine but I covet a KitchenAid mixer. If they sold the pistachio colour here I would probably buy one immediately but for now I can wait. I bought a food processor a couple of years ago and have not used it as much as I thought I would so sometimes wish I had just bought my KitchenAid at the time instead.

Lan – You are describing exactly what happens to me whenever I walk through the home goods at Wal-Mart! Haven’t seen the combo mixer yet, but I’m interested (also don’t need, but you know). PS: love that your stand mixer has a name.

Donna – I would love to work in a gourmet shop and bake cookies with a floor model! Sounds like a great job (was it?) – and I’m so excited you’re trying the chocolate-chip recipe. It’s fantastic.

As a result of clicking on your favorite cookie link, I now have choc chip cookies chilling in the fridge! Can’t wait…and probably won’t!!

I once worked in a gourmet shop and used a floor model mixer to make cookies. It had an enormous steel batter bowl that held many pounds of batter from which you could make dozens of cookies. We would scoop the cookies out onto huge cookie sheets, freeze them individually, then store them in large ziplocs til we wanted to bake them Not for the average home kitchen baker but very cool, nonetheless!!
