we came home to find a wonderful wedding gift from my sister & brother-
in-law... A Kitchen Aid "Artisian" standing mixer!!! I am so in love
with this thing. I have wanted one ever since I used the one my mom
owns. I kid you not, not even 2 minutes after we brought it up &
opened it, we used it to make some shortbread cookies. They are still
baking, so I can't tell you how they turned out just yet (but the
husband has a knack for getting culinary creations right the first
time, so I'm sure they will be fantastic!) Anyway, Van & I love this
wonderful gift. Thank you R-cubed!!!

I made shortbread cookies yesterday! Alas, I mixed them by hand...
it's beautiful

@Monicajane....and I am sure your shortbread cookies turned out beautifully! I am not sure why I am so obsessed with this particular gadget but I just am! Seems like your new site is doing really well. Congrats! Thanks for still stopping by here & at yeswecook.com. Much love to you!

@WC - No doubt :) My sister and BIL are incredibly good gift givers! God love 'em...
Guilty pleasure: My favorite thing to do with this is beat/fluff egg whites until they overflow the bowl! They come out SO well. So I look for recipes where this is required. Hopefully I'll be using them for more than just that though! I know Van will be using it a lot. Much of his mixing has been by hand but I am sure all that is going to change :) I am so excited!!!
