I'm in love!

With my Bosch compact kitchen mixer! While I was in Utah I happened upon this store in Orem that sells Bosch kitchen equipment. I decided to go in and have a look. I have been aching for a mixer for a while now, and knew I wanted a Bosch- not to be snotty- but they are sooo much better than a Kitchen-Aid. I had bid on a few Bosch's on eBay but to no avail. SO...I found the perfect mixer- exactly what I wanted- still a little too pricey for me, so I did what every person should do who is making a large purchase. I walked right out of the store and called my mom. Should I buy it? Should I wait till I am married and can register for it? Etc etc. But at that point I had convinced myself that I was going to buy a mixer dammit! Why should I have to wait till I am married- I want it NOW! Then I went back to Erin's house where I was staying, and went online. I had remembered this website that I had come across in the past, and thought I would just check it out and see what their prices were. And then I bought one! I found it for so much cheaper than that store had it, plus free extra attachments, plus free FedEx shipping! Yipeee!!! I was beside myself with excitment. Then I got it in the mail isn't she a beauty?



Also I used her for the first ime this morning to make an lemon meringue pie for a friend's birthday celebration tonight. It was so easy!! I have made everything by hand before- pie crust, cookies, rolls- they are a pain in the butt to do by hand let me tell you. This machine made my life so easy! And look how the pie turned out! Gorgeous!


I can't wait to eat it....

I realize that by posting this, I am setting myself up for all kinds of sarcastic remarks about my social life, or lack thereof, my love of domesticity, and bladidadida. But I don't care. I chuckled with glee when my pie crust was mixed in 2 minutes- I giggled with delight when my meringue fluffed up into perfect peaks. I am ok with my dorkiness! And I am happy to admit- even shout from the rooftops, that I am indeed in love with my Bosch Compact Kitchen Mixer!!!!
