Hooray! I've finally earned a KitchenAid stand mixer! With the Amazon.com discount code HOHOHOHO and free Super Saver shipping, I can get an excellent one for $146. I'm getting around $40 in fun money for a crossword puzzle I just created, I've got about $80 in fun money from turking, and I've already received $50 in cash as a Christmas gift.

I'm assuming your kitchen appliances are mostly in white or off-white, so I'll vote white. :)

BTW - you will love your stand mixer. :D

[sylvar]

I assume you've got one too. What do you use yours for?

[heathrow]

I do have one; it was a wedding present.
I use mine for baking mostly: kneading of doughs, mixing, etc. I use it more in the fall and winter, because that's when my baking moods strike more.

There's a fantastic recipe for sweet yeast rolls in the little cookbook that comes with. In addition, the basic pizza dough is also quite tasty.

cheesecake, quiches galore, egg cremes, ice cream made from store purchased eggnog, foods you and i don't eat for toad, pumpkin pie, oatmeal cookie dough, due to the wheat allergy i haven't made bread with it yet. i need somebody who can eat wheat here! like maybe a King Cake during mardi gras in february... When are you coming during Mardi Gras season? I need to make a reservation spot picker, but i don't know how to code that. :)

i think the black one looks nicer, but i'm practical. any little bit of flour will show up well on the black, so for that reason alone you may want to opt for white. of course, mine is dijon (annoying yellow color), but that's because they are so ugly they don't sell well so i won the ebay auction cheap. someday i'll have it painted orange and blue :).

very cool! mine's cobalt cuz that's toad's favorite color and i hope to get some teal frogs painted on it within a few years. :)

Black! :)

...aaaaaaaaand THAT is the opinion that matters most, folks. :)

how come the kitchenaid pro model you posted is 'allowed' under the hoho discount for you when the fine print says all the 'good knives' and kitchenaid pro lines are not included?

[sylvar]

I assume it's because factory-reconditioned stand mixers are, for some reason, not in the "KitchenAid Professional 5" category.

Black -- it'll hide dirt.

What does HOHOHOHO get you? And why didn't I hear about it until after I order a bunch of stuff* from Amazon?

It gets you $25 off a purchase of $125 or more in the Kithcen & Housewares or Bed & Bath category.

I am crying now. I desperately want one of those.

I'm going into my kitchen now, and I'm going to suffer greatly as I mix, beat, and churn things the old fashioned way...

WITH MY HANDS.
