The Eagle has Landed!

Today I got the ultimate kitchen machine...

I resisted buying a Kitchen Aid stand mixer for some time, mostly because we don't have the room for one in our small home. It only took 2 or 3 tries making hand kneaded bread to realize that if I ever wanted to be able to make my own sourdough or ciabatta that I was going to have to go from conventional to mechanized warfare.

It so happens there's a great promotion going on, and we fell into some gift cards to a local home store, so I took the plunge and got my hands on a 450W Professional 5 Plus. It wears a deep black coat of paint, which is especially appropriate given that I saw Star Wars Ep. III last night. There is a certain "Vaderesque" quality to it. It's already established itself as the ultimate force in my kitchen.

I look forward to playing with my new machine and sharing the results with you!

Hi William!
We have the same model in the same color. An absolute keeper! At times I sense that this black device can be much meaner than youg Vader in Ep.III ;)

PS: I moved back to Munich in 2000, after having spent roughly 4 years in Atlanta - what a fun city ;) Does Canoe (Paces Ferry Dr.) still exist? We always loved to go there...

Yes indeed, Canoe still does exist. I came to find this restaurant when my car broke down on the way to a rafting trip on the river. They were kind enough to let me come in and call AAA even though I was in a bathing suit and flip-flops.

I have not had the opportunity to dine there, but it's on my list of places to eat one day...
