[matcom]

:bounce:

i am like a kid at Xmas! wanted one of these for YEARS! EBay auction that i won saved me over $100.00!

:bounce:

who wants to come over this weekend? i'm gonna be a baking/whipping/grinding/mixing FOOL!

FOOOOOOOOD GLORIOUS FOOOOOOOD!

:bounce:

[LynneSin]

1. You could bring it to Philly for our next gathering

and cook for us there. I'm sure Ramsey will let you use her kitchen

:D

[trof]

2. So...what's cookin'?

[redqueen]

3. Oooooooh sweet!

I want one! *pout*

What color is it?

Does the bowl sit in the hook or the stand? (I've seen two kinds, sorry if I'm not describing them well enough to make sense.)

oooooohhhh... fresh bread!

[matcom]

5. white

the bowl sits in the stand. don't know what you mean by hook :shrug:

[redqueen]

8. There's one with a hook thing

that sticks out from the part that holds up the mixer arm (this is really terrible but I'm tryin), it's like a wishbone shaped thing, and the bowl just kind of sits wedged in the thing. I think with that model you don't have to lift the mixer arm to remove the bowl, it just slides down and out or something.

I sound really stupid. Sorry!

[matcom]

10. no, no, no

not stupid at all. this is the 4 1/2 quart model. no arm to tilt it back. it has a lever 'lock' that locks the arm in place. just flip the lever and hoist it back to tilt. i think the largest model has the lever thingy

[redqueen]

heh

I usually try to be precise but it was impossible without technical names for all that stuff. :) Thanks!

Doesn't matter really... they're all wonderful. :)

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. I have the one with the lever thingy that raises and lowers the bowl.

It's a monster, but fun fun fun!!! :hi:

[trof]

21. The hook thing is for pirates.

;-)

[curlyred]

14. sounds just like mine

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do! Grinding your own meat, kneading bread dough and pasta dough, making tamale dough.....it's great!

[tridim]

24. Mine's "cobalt blue"

I should have bought the white one, but I wanted to be different. It's really hard to keep clean. The meat grinder, cheese grater and pasta maker attachments are next on the list.

[VelmaD]

4. I'm so tickled for you.

I remember this feeling...my momma got me a Sunbeam MixMaster for xmas about 3 years ago and I bounced around for days about it. :-)

So whatcha gonna bake? Need an assistant? :-)

[matcom]

6. don't know yet

but can tell you i am getting the SAUSAGE attachment soon!

YUUUMMMMMMMMMYYY!

[VelmaD]

15. Mmm...sausage attachment

So far my only big addition has been dough-hooks. But they sure have come in handy.

Dude, I gotta get my sorry ass up to your end of the universe at meet your little yellow butt. :-)

[rucky]

7. Your Life Has Been Changed Forever

best investment I've ever made

[Robb]

11. Indeed it has!

These are great, and the best part is you can probably pass it down to your grandchildren.

This is where we got ours, BTW... from grandma. It was the one she bought in the stone age. Oh, the power... turning it on, it's so strong and quiet, kinda like having a V8 in the kitchen. :thumbsup:

(On edit: the Kitchenaid 1958 model 4-C, only we couldn't find the sausage grinder)

[KinkyDem]

20. pass it down to your grandchildren

I got mine from my mom.

1960's model.

Found all the grinder and sausage attachments at a thrift store not so long ago.

I've made tons of bread and cookiesetc but no sausage yet.

[Lorien]

9. Excellent!

I got one of those for Christmas Even my Mennonite mother (who hates "contraptions" and anything that doesn't seem absolutely necessary to own)was pretty impressed after using it to make a batch of cookies!

Congrats!

[DODI]

12. They are the best

I got mine 12 years ago -- it mix everything in it -- it is just as good as the day I got it. Congratulations and many happy years together.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Did you get the tilt head or the bowl lift? I got the bowl lift for

Christmas and I just made my first batch of chocolate chip cookies...and they were better than Mrs Fields. I have some dough hook kneaded dough rising for rolls right now. It's addictive! Enjoy it!! :hi:

[matcom]

17. tilt head

i am gonna cook my ASS off this weekend!!

[SOteric]

16. WooHoo! Molto Mario lookout!

[matcom]

[VelmaD]

29. Forget sending matcom recipes...

[GOPisEvil]

31. I wish! I just wanted you to post the pic of me as Mario!

I don't have it bookmarked here! x(

The closest thing I have to that mixer is the mini-prep Cuisinart! :D

[matcom]

32. AMATEUR!!!

[GOPisEvil]

34. So, what color is your mixer?

Chrome? Shiny black? Fire engine red?

[matcom]

35. white. easy to clean plain white

so, WHAT SHOULD I MAKE THIS WEEKEND? :bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

36. CHEESECAKE!!!!!

:9 :bounce:

[matcom]

37. ooooooooo you DEVIL!

i'm gonna get fat with this thing ain't I ??????

:bounce:

[GOPisEvil]

38. What fun is it if you don't get fat?

:P

You could make bread, too!

[matcom]

41. pepperoni Parmesan bread to be exact!

:P

[agingdem]

19. Got one , too...

Mine is so heavy that it stays on the kitchen counter. Love the dough-hook and handle mixing bowl. I just bought a black one for my daughter-in-law.

[dolo amber]

22. Heh...

Thanks for reminding me...I've been meaning to *mention* (read: whine ;)) to someone that I absolutely MUST have one of those...:D

[Kathy in Cambridge]

26. You're getting married, right? Register and maybe someone will buy it

for your wedding gift!

[dolo amber]

30. Ooooh, there's a thought!

But we're just doing a JOP thing most likely, I don't know if one registers for such an event...:D

[VelmaD]

33. Sure you can register...

just because you aren't having a church wedding doesn't mean people aren't obligated to buy you stuff. It is up to YOU to help keep teh blender and fondue pot industries in business. :-)

[dolo amber]

40. Dangit!

I knew I liked you for some reason! :D

Mmmm...blender fondue...:9

[woofless]

23. I am so FREAKIN' jealous!

That is on top of my culinary wish list.

Ah, a man and his tools.

Woof

[Missy Vixen]

27. Yaaaay!

DH bought me the professional 6-quart one (mine's white,) when he got a $izable bonus from the office a few years back.

Holiday cooking is a breeze with it, and we use it almost every day. I LOVE the Kitchen Aid mixer!

Have a great time!
Julie

[blondeatlast]

42. Sounds like you should make this an intimate thing with Mrs. Matcom.

actually.

i'm gonna be a baking/whipping/grinding/mixing FOOL!

I can imagine your joy, however, I'd LOVE to have one!

Never thought of E-Bay. Hmmmmm...

[skippysmom]

43. I LURVE my kitchenaid mixer

it was the first thing on my registry when we got married.

Hubby thinks I married him just so I could register for it.

[Bertha Venation]

44. I say to you what I would say to you IRL....

joking, of course:

Bitch.

(Because I'm jealous)

Congratulations!!

[Deb]

45. You had to buy one?

I got mine from Santa.

[matcom]

46. Santa Hates Me

i left the fire burning in the chimney one year
