I have been wanting a Kitchen Aid mixer forever, but just couldn't justify buying one when I already had a mixer that worked perfectly fine.The old Sunbeam finally died and I had to throw it out. I'm sure that it was over ten years old, so its time had come. I was thrilled!
I got the black. My first color choice would have been yellow, but it would have been $60 more than the black. (I had a coupon that could only be used in the store and my color choices were limited.) I'm good with the black. It looks good in my kitchen.
The first recipe that I made using it was not a hit. I made Giant Bavarian Pretzels from a Rachel Ray magazine. I am normally not a fan of hers, but I was given a copy by a co-worker that had received a duplicate. I love reading cooking magazines! Anyways, the recipe looked really yummy and really easy - I was excited to try them. Craig loves pretzels. And fresh baked from the oven? Mmmmmmm!
All seemed well until trying to roll out a sticky piece of dough 42 inches long. It all went downhill from there. They were heavy and tough and the flavor was not right.
If anyone has a tried and true baked pretzel recipe, please let me know! My Kitchen Aid is ready for action!

Brenda, congratualtions on the new mixer. It will last for years and years. I love your blog! It just isn't busy enough!
I did make pretzels, years ago, but I have no memory of them being good or anything like that.
Enjoy figuring out the mixer. It is a great machine. Our newest kitchen acquisition is a Nespresso/pod coffee machine. We get the pods in NYC and have ordered 2x already. JOhn loves it and so do I. Merry Christmas to you and Craig and safe travels to WI for you.
