First of all, this isn’t Heather.  This is the husband.  And it seems I’ve hijacked Sugar & Butter…okay, I convinced her to let me guest blog.  Isn’t she great?

Right now I basically have two responsibilities in the kitchen:  slice things with my knife, “Gertrude” and help with dishes.  Three if you count Official Taste Tester.  But if we had one of THESE I would seriously lobby to add mixing to my list.

I saw this mixer walking through Crate & Barrel.  (That’s right, I’m man enough to go to Crate & Barrel, especially if there is a Red Mango treat in it for me afterwards.)  But seriously, just look how great this thing is!  It’s all chrome, cord storage, beaters, whisks, and dough hooks, all at 5 different speeds and powered by a 240 watt motor.  That’s about as much as a (really small) weed eater.  And if that’s not a manly mixer, then I don’t know what is.

P.S.  I wasn’t allowed to buy it.  Oh well…
