Oh, you cheater!

We used to just put wax paper on the table, pile on the flour and eggs, mix it up by hand, roll them out and cut them up. Kitchenaid...humpf!

I don't make mine in the kitchenaid, I would if I were making a huge batch for the whole family or resupplying the stash in the freeze, but when it's just the two of us, it's just quicker and less messy to use the wax paper method.

haha the egg noodles I make by hand...no mixer. I just want the option of making other pastas and using the attachments would be awesome!

haha...sometimes you say things that make me think we really must be a lot alike! I love shopping the deals and etc. Even this artisan mixer I bought was an amazing deal...i bought it new but got it for less than half the price cause I waited and was able to get an extra 20% off the already 40% off.... yay for deals!!!

Kim, Are you talking a bricks and mortar Goodwill? You do know about the online Goodwill site, don't you?? I've gotten some really great deals off of that site!!

do tell of this website ma'am!

Of course I am talking the brick and mortar Goodwill......it's all about the textile response Debbi...

....you can't get that online.

But seriously, I didn't know they had an online store, DH ears just perked up when I told him about it. Maybe my beaters would be there?

The meat grinder attachment is a MUST!!!!!!!!!!! It's the only one I would keep if I had to choose only 1.

totally agree... I use it for everything. I have the ice cream dealy too...came with the machine as a free extra as long as I sent a copy of the receipt and etc. I like that for when i am doing birthday cakes and such. Takes very little time

The ones that you put into the bottom of a hand held mixer.....but the ones for the hand held kitchenaid mixer are a PIA to find and of course they have to be brand specific. If I wanted to pay and arm and a leg I could get them new....but used is much better.

It used to beat up some mean Marans eggs for fluffiest scrambled eggs ever.
