Kitchen Aid Mixers and Microwaves
Tracie asked me this morning if I would be baking rye bread so often if we didn't have our kitchen aid mixer. No. This is one labour saving device! Also, we bought a convection microwave oven. Having a microwave that has some power to it is kind of awesome. It cooks things quickly, and has the added feature of being a microwave oven. The scale in the photo is also pretty good. Weighing ingredients has a benefit for baking especially (so I've been told).

Agreed. A good mixer is an essential kitchen tool - most recipes in leading cooking magazines outline exactly how to make bread, cake or pastry from scratch using a mixer and the kitchen aid is industry standard. It's baking in the modern age and it's more than a convenience. And yes, a scale makes measuring ingredients for baking (almost) fool proof. Our mail scale does double duty.
I think I need to try this rye bread.
I know that Kelly will be missed by so many. She is such a good person. Plus, she taught me how to make a crazy easy and delicious banana cake.
