Any Home Bakers Here?

Using a sharp knife, the beans are split and the seeds are removed with the tip of a knife.

The seeds are very good in vanilla ice cream. Usually you poach the beans in hot milk for a while first.

You can take a bean and put it in your sugar jar too for vanilla-y sugar.

I don't like my current hand mixer either Ron. Darn things takes off like a jet on LOW and spits stuff everywhere. I need one with about 1/2 the kick

Mines the opposite. It smells awful when you use it too. I prefer my Stand Mixer.

In our old house, I had room to leave my stand mixer out and plugged in. It was very convenient. There's just no room for that at this little house so it's a lot of effort to get out, find an open outlet, then stow it all away when done. I'm mixing a lot more stuff up by hand now! Fewer dishes to wash too

Mine has gotten like that. I worry about using it.
My m-i-l gave me an old stand mixer “but I think it was smoking when I used it last.” Sure enough, that thing was smoking like a chimney!

You sound perfectly normal to me BC!
(Not sure what that says about me )

It's "gifts" like that that always make me wonder if there's a message behind them

Nah. At the time, I was well loved. I kinda still am, but with the marriage so messed up, it’s hard to know.

Just leave it set up in the middle of the table with an extension cord plugged in.

I love my kitchen aid hand mixer! It has 9 speeds so a pretty wide range. I have had it for about 6 months so far.
