I’ve had a KitchenAid mixer for several years, but it died. It wasn’t its fault, of course — it was a casualty of our move ten (almost eleven) years ago. Two days ago, my new mixer arrived, and it’s a beautiful cobalt blue! Today I gave it its first little chore, some absolutely delicious-smelling Lemon Blueberry Muffins that my husband and I will enjoy at breakfast for the next few days. The mixer sounds so much quieter and smoother than the old one, and I’m in love with the color, which I think looks great with my other kitchen things. I think my husband will be more impressed, though, with the muffins. \ud83d\ude09<\/div>\n
