The excitement of it all.
I don’t know how to tell you this. And it’s true. It’s really true.
I have been cooking and baking since I was about 14 years old. To put it mildly, it feels like a lifetime. But here is the part that is unbelievable.
I have a birthday coming up (not so unbelievable). It’s three days after Christmas. Pretty anti-climatic I would say. For years I always felt like I was getting the sticky end of the lollipop.
Now the thing is, this year I treated myself to something I always wanted. My very first electric stand mixer. Yup! All these years and I used a hand mixer. You would have thought I could build up some biceps using a hand mixer. But I didn’t. I no longer have to yearn for that fancy ass mixer that only appeared in my dreams. Well, maybe in catalogs, and stores, but never in my home.
I ordered it on-line. The day it arrived I baked.
I baked these shortbread cookies. And yes, their spectacular. The mixer and the cookies.
I am in awe of this device that can mix up batter in a split second. But even better, I don’t have to hold the mixer anymore.
This mixer, aptly named “sugar”, is displayed on my counter and is my newest precious toy.
I hereby announce “let the mixing begin”. I am vowing no baking for the month of January, but that doesn’t mean Sugar can’t be used for something savory.
Happy day to all of you and happy mixing to me.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day.
