Great idea, passing it on to get a better one. I am so excited to use it. I guess I am makin mashed taters tomorrow come hell or highwater. LOL!

I kept waiting for my old one to die so I could go get a new one. Gave up on that happening so since my daughter and other DIL already have one I thought I could pass it on and not feel like I just junked it to get the new one. She was tickled to get it. A win-win situation.

From what I have heard, waiting for one to die is futile. I have a friend who's mother has had hers for 40 years. Ken was totally amazed I told him this was the best gift EVER. He has no idea. I love to cook and this going to make my life sooo much easier!!!!

My wife has one and it is money well spent. We bought an other brand a few years back and it didnt last at all.....finally just threw it away. Bought the real deal off of QVC one night when they had it on sale for a good price. I would like to make pasta with it sometime but havent ventured that far. I have used it to make cookies on occasion(yes I make the best homemade sugar cookies in the world)!
Wife was using it to make her now famous cupcakes that are cinnamon/yellow cake with cinnamon/butter cream frosting.....they are tasty

I will share the cookie recipe i promise. It was my mom's mothers, I started making them when I was a small child....remember standing on the chair helping my mom make them. They are a cake type sugar cookie....still my favorite cookie in the world.
As for the cupcake recipe.....I might get in trouble if I shared that....my wife created it and actually makes the cupcakes and sells them to people......a state secret....haha...
And hey there Katy....didnt I see you stirring up trouble on a thread the other day?

This should tell you how old my Kitchen Aid mixer is: it is Avocado Green. From the FIRST distribution of that color! OMG. It is exactly 40 years old!

Me stir up trouble? never!

See if you can't sweet talk her into sharing that recipe too.

Yes you! stirring up trouble.....something about how good KFC tastes.......haha....
I will see if I can sweet talk her out of it but I am usually not too good about sweet talking her.........

To be very honest, I had the pasta attachments and wasn't that impressed with them. Pasta comes out better (for me) if I make it by hand and use my pasta roller. I also still prefer to make bread by hand because the texture when you use the machine is... different. I think the mixer is too efficient at mixing flour in or something?

Congrats on your KA, I know you will love it! I have had mine for 22 years (I also have a KA hand mixer, love that too!) and mom got hers 34 years ago. And my brother keeps trying to talk mom out of hers.
