She arrived in all her Styrofoam packed glory. I dropped everything and unpacked her and put her in her place of honor in the kitchen, the bake and work center, actually corner.
I love that I am familiar with everything but there is a slight learning curve involved....maybe....and I may just use it exactly like my old one.
I needed to make bread and tried my Sis's favorite recipe that uses mashed potatoes.
It was a very wet dough but I restrained myself from adding too much extra flour. I need to start weighing ingredients instead just measuring. The bread turned out great but wasn't a real test since it just made two loaves. I need to do a 12 cup recipe soon.
I read most of the afternoon.
This morning I will get back to my regular schedule. I definitely need to weed the area beside the back door and milk.
More rain is promised today and another 80° day. Oh joy!!
The mixer is beautiful. The potato bread sounds interesting. I've never tried it but have seen recipes for it.
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty, just like those loaves of bread! More rain last night and 69 this morning, we are in "hog heaven" on Granny Mountain!
ReplyDeleteYep, she's a beaut all right. Looks right at home there too! It'll be fun watching you post pics of what you make in her.
ReplyDeleteOnly 59 this morning with a trace of rain last night (to go with the 1" we got early yesterday morning). Everything is wet and dewy and smells nice.
Have fun with your KA. :-D
Great looking mixer Glenda, and those loaves look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteWe've had more rain too, with thunder and lightening. Winds are from the west. It's a tad cooler today. Is 88 but with humidity feels like 98. I just read where they are predicting three named hurricanes by the end of this month. I do hope they stay away.
Enjoy your cooler temps and your new mixer.
