LET'S DO THIS!

Spent most of the weekend being lazy, lazy, lazy. Watched a lot of David in the Kitchen and ate fried spaghetti in my jams, on the couch, in the snug. 

Delightful.

Today, I need to get my butt back into gear. Can't share what I'm working on because it's a gift for Tim and I don't want him to see it on the blog.

In other news, Tim wrapped my gift and since I helped pick it out, I know it's a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. OMG. I never had one before and now all I wanna do is crack that baby open and play, play, play, play, play!

Can't wait to make stuff and share those pictures here. And, now that the work room so so freakin' functional, I've been writing down EVERYTHING I make and bake. Just so easy to do in a proper work room. 

In other, other news, I read a lot of blogs lately with some of you sick. Ugh. So sorry. Here's to everyone healing up and getting better. Let's go kick some Monday butt! 

Huggs & Bugs, Me

  4. Sitting around in jammies sounds like a perfect day to me. In fact I would think of extending it thru Monday!!

  5. I love lazy days in my pajamas and eating dinner on the couch :)
    I've got a craft project that I can't show on my blog because it's for my daughter and she reads my blog.

  6. Happy Monday and new week Kitchen aid stand mixers are the best-Larry bought me one when we first retired-back around 2003 I don't use it allot but I should. I did buy the flour grinder attachment years ago when I used to grind up my own gluten free flour. that always worked really well

    1. I love making my own flours too! Great fun. I do that in a few tools that I own. Love making seed flours. I saw that KitchenAid has so many attachments. Pretty cool that all models are able to use them. Smart!

  7. Wonderful way to enjoy some weekend downtime. I used to use my kitchen aid all the time, but when I became gluten-free (celiac) I stopped baking and gave mine to my DIL... It's a great machine. Can't wait to see what you make!!

    1. Oh... why did you stop baking just because of being free from gluten? Do you ever miss the mixer?

  8. Oh you will love your Christmas gift. I had mine out yesterday on my cooking baking bonanza day. Of course I could only bake a few batches as everything else had to chill first, but now I can just bake this week. I hope you share all your yummy treats you make with your mixer. I bet you're excited to get yours. Take care so you don't get sick, and give Bug a scratch for me. hugs-Erika

    1. I'm over the moon and can't wait. How's the baking going? I will for sure share stuff that I make here. It's gonna be a whole new toy for me, this mixer. We already named him. His name is Stan and he mixes things! Huggs.

  13. Your Christmas gift sounds wonderful. I'm a bit jealous. I've always wanted one but have been put off by the price. I'm always worried I wouldn't get my money's worth out of it. I can't wait to see what you bake.

    1. Thanks, Sharon! That's how I felt too for a long time. The price mixed with will I use this tool. Now that I decided to do more dough by machine, I think I will use it. I get it though. It's where I was too.
