Reaon #5039 my husband is a god among men

Very nice!

Now, on the next significant gifting holiday, you should drop hints for:

Acrylic pouring shield (keeps clouds of flour/cocoa from taking over your kitchen)

Extra work bowl ('cuz sometimes you just gotta keep making stuff...not stop to wash & dry!)

Meat grinder attachment (Alton Brown approves!)

Ice cream maker (Lord, I want me one of them!)

Congrats on the new toy!

Before we got married, The Wife stated in no uncertain terms, that I was NEVER to give her an kitchen appliance, cookware, vacuum, iron, etc. Except for a KitchenAid mixer, which she wanted as soon as I could afford it.

That was one of my better investments.

So what is going to be the first delectable treat that you shall make with it?

[taxguykarl]

I got one of those a couple of years ago. I love it.

[MoonCat]

I love the yellow one! Well, I like the way it looks. I'm not very domestic myself.

To the guys: It all depends on the person. If you enjoy cooking and baking, you'll love this. I, on the other hand, would be content to pop open a can, toss the contents into a bowl and nuke it. My sister, who does the cooking, would love a Sunbeam brand mixer like our mom had years ago.

Some women like practical gifts like appliances. Some prefer romantic girly stuff. You know those catalogs you find laying around the house, open to various pages? That's a hint.

Yeah, the rule of thumb is that you aren't supposed to buy a woman anything with a power cord on it. This is the first time he's bought me a girly kitchen appliance with a cord.

Usually it's mulchers and leaf blowers. One time he got in trouble with his female coworkers when he told them he'd bought me half a dozen soaker hoses for my birthday.

He was all like "what? soakers don't have power cords."

I should mention that he started out in our relationship trying to buy me jewelry. And he never buys me stuff like this without me saying I want it first. So he gets a pass on the power cords.

He's a smart guy.

He's getting my mom to buy me the attachments to go with. So he's doubly smart.

[It shouldn't]

I got one of those a couple years ago from my daughter.

.........so I could make a bunch of cookies and sent them to her.


This year I got super duper cookie sheets and recepie books.

And then e-mails listing their favorites.
Guess what I've been doing all week.

[Amusement Gal]

Mmm, shiny. It looks like a lot of people want your hubby. Care to share?

I kid. I got my own to force to buy me things.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Sorry, all, the husband and his brothers are no longer on the market. But there definately should have been more of them minted than there were.

[tropicsgoddess]

Your hubby rocks for that, RK! I think sooner or later SO and I will get one (if it didn't break the piggy bank ).

Well, yours truly is on the market, and I know how to use one of those KitchenAids to make the best damn cookies you've ever had.

[draggar]

We got one as a wedding present from my in-laws and it's awesome. We don't use it often but it's one of those appliances that you're so glad that you have it.

Plus, the attachments are great.

[pitmonkey]

The after market paddle beater I have is from Beater Blade. I love it. With it you don't have to scrape the bowl very often or at all. I like it for making cookies and cakes.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Dave, a man that can cook? Hot.

That is all.

[Frantic Freddie]

Dave, a man that can cook? Hot.

That is all.

Hey,I'm a pretty darn good cook,just ask my wife or any of our friends.Saturday we had friends over & I made turkey enchiladas (still usin' up the bird from T'giving) with a green chile/tomatillo sauce,black beans I make myself (no canned beans for me!),green rice & guacamole.
I'm also a pretty good bartender as my smart-ass SIL found out last month.I asked her if she wanted a drink & she says "Yeah,a margarita" with this look & tone that said "I'm just bein' a bitch,I know you can't make one"

So I said "Sure,I have 3 kinds of tequila,which would you like? Along with margarita salt & fresh limes.Would you like it frozen or mixed?"

[AdminAssistant]

A man that can do dishes is also hot, just sayin'. I hope hope hope I get one of those as a wedding present.
