Presents for everyone for sure! Hope Jake'...Wow!! Presents for everyone for sure! Hope Jake's day was awesome!!<BR/><BR/>Love the socks...both of them look great, but I guess I love the seeded ribbing sock best (hehehehe!). And don't you love the Imaginknit Malabrigo scarf...that color is gorgeous that you picked!! I need to make another one of those.<BR/><BR/>And yeap, I wanted Jessica to win. Sure, we'll say that's why I didn't enter the contest. Or maybe I suck at my blogreading sometimes (nope, not that). Or maybe, I wanted to be special and tell my KitchenAid story here! :)<BR/><BR/>Okay, here goes. At the age of I think 27 maybe, after a month of tons of Christmas baking (cookies, cakes, etc.), my dad and I were watching Emeril in January (not something we normally did, it was just on). Emeril was making cookies and he put the dough into some sort of appliance. I said to my dad, "What is that?" (seriously, I am a smart girl, and I liked to bake, but my mom is not domestic at all, so can we blame her for the reason why I didn't know this?). My dad laughs and tells me its a mixer. Of course I was stunned that something could so easily mix cookies (my arms always hurt after mixing and mixing)! I guess I'd seem the "mixer" at wedding showers, but never quite got what they did. I was just AMAZED by this and we talked mixers for probably the next few weeks (dad telling me all the other cool things they did). So then, my birthday in February, my dad surprised me (I really was surprised, never imagined getting one)and bought me my own Kitchen Aid mixer (and being dad, he bought the stainless steel fancy model so all my married friends oohhed and aahhhed and I was just excited it was a mixer, not realizing at the time how freakin fancy it was!). And that present started my baking/cooking adventure. Everyone who knows me will tell you from that point on I became obsessed. I took cooking classes, baking, etc. and now I'm a pretty good cook!! That's my best present yet!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for listening!!IrishGirlieKnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10231835482811098048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397996365027453456.post-30511695091003595852007-10-03T08:36:00.000-04:002007-10-03T08:36:00.000-04:00I have to say, go BOSCH!!!!I absolutely LOVE my BO...I have to say, go BOSCH!!!!<BR/><BR/>I absolutely LOVE my BOSCH front loader. I got mine from Lowes, very good delivery service too. I have a girlfriend who tried a frontloader and hated it, but I am a total convert. You will NEVER get me back to a top loader.<BR/><BR/>I love that I can do my DH's Icelandic wool sweaters, silk items, any and all bedding imaginable, and I use less everything (water, energy, detergent, fabric softner). It determines how much water it needs for what amount of clothing is in there.<BR/><BR/>If you want to come take a gander at it please feel free to contact me Carly.<BR/><BR/>Did I mention that I LOVE MY BOSCH! :)Cheryl in AZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565298133945319934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7397996365027453456.post-5038970361589353992007-10-02T20:44:00.000-04:002007-10-02T20:44:00.000-04:00Doh!
