I got a good deal on a refurbished KitchenAid Artisan series stand
mixer. It arrived this morning. I figured that I should give it a test
drive as soon as possible, so I used it tonight to make pizza dough. It
saves a lot of work kneading. I suppose the down site is the weight. It
will be a workout to move that thing around, plus finding a place to
store it.

They are heavy, no doubt about that, and mine resides covered on top of
the refrigerator until needed.

If you like, you can make something scrumptious and send it to me and
I can tell you whether your mixer is doing a good job of mixing or not.

It's test drive was to make pizza dough tonight, and it worked very
well. The crust was the best I have made, and without all the time and
effort to knead.

That is why mine sits on the end of the counter. If you can afford the
space it saves lifting and will get more use.

Mine gets stuffed into the back corner of the counter where there's
dead space. It's on a wicker mat so I can slide it out easier, and
push it back out the way when done.

Good idea. Something else is going to have to find a new home. There is
already a drip coffee maker, burr grinder, kettle large toaster, air
fryer, espresso maker and microwave. Microwave would give up the most
space and it is the one that is used the least.

When I kept my mixer stored away, I didn't use it very often - it was a
big hassle to drag it out every time. So I reorganised my stuff, and
gave it a permanent place on the worktop, and did the same with the big
food processor. Now they both get a lot of use.

Yep. Mine, too.
There are also inserts for kitchen cabinets which store the mixer, can
be pulled out and up for use, then pushed back in when done, to save
counter space.

If you have wall space you could mount the microwave there. We've done

Our microwave is the small kitchen appliance that we use the most...
some days we reheat our coffee and tea half a dozen times. We don't
use it for actual cooking but gets used often for reheating; soups,
vegetables, and defrosting, tonight it will be used to defrost two of
my giant 12 oz burgers. Lately we are eating only half and reheat the
other half in its half bun for the next meal (we despise poofy burger
buns), we use hard rolls. The nuker is a great way for cooking fresh
corn on the cob in their husks... no point in boiling a large pot of
water.
When I had a stand mixer it lived on a small wheeled cart... the few
times it was in the way I rolled it into a different room... the cart
is actually a storage cabinet on wheels, the extra moveable storage
space is very useful, saves a lot of steps when already seated at the
table, the top drawer holds a set of eating utensils.

I don't use it for defrosting, but I'll use it at lunch to reheat some
vegetable soup that I made on Saturday.

We cook corn on the cob exclusively on the grill.

That just proves you rarely used it.
Most people have a KA mixer as kitchen decor so people will think they
cook... same as people who hang all their cookware from the kitchen
ceiling to collect schmutz. My stove has four top burners, I've never
had more than two on at the same time, 95% of the time only one. I
have many pots and pans, the few I use often are in a kitchen closet,
all the rest are stored in cartons in the basement. Most I bought
years ago because they looked nice, thinking they'd be nice to have,
many I've never used. Long ago I bought a Hobart 18 qt stand mixer
from a pizza joint in Brooklyn that was going out of business. When
my daughter was young and would have friends over I baked a lot. Now
she's living in her own home in NJ so some 20 years ago I gave her
that mixer... I don't know for sure if she uses it much, probably the
Take Out Queen is using it for kitchen decor.

The grill is outdoors, not used in inclement weather. Actually the
nuker does a better job... and I'm not going to light the grill for a
couple ears.

Our grill is outdoors, too. We use it year-round except in the most
severe weather.

It's moot, anyhow, since good corn on the cob is available only in
the summer.

I'll light the grill for a single hotdog. Although for a single hotdog I'd
probably light only one burner. If I want one hotdog, I cook one hotdog.

I use a small microwave. Sunbeam, 700 watts with a turntable.
It's my most used appliance.

I don't "cook" too many things with it. Potatoes mostly, but I use it
daily to reheat food. Several times daily.

I prefer hotdogs simmered, leaches out much of the baddies.
I can't remember ever eating just one hotdog since childhood,
often two or three. When available I like dawgs simmered in kraut. I
don't care for commercial hotdog buns for the same reason I don't care
for commercial burger buns, too poofy. I like burgers on hard rolls,
Kaiser rolls are good. Actually I don't care about bread with dawgs,
I usually eat them with a knife and fork with a mound of hot
kraut with Guldens, or cooked into a dish, like cut into coins in
tomato soup like grade school cafeteria lunchroom style.

Hotdogs... talk about mystery meat. If all baddies leached out, there
wouldn't be a hotdog left.

I used to eat two, I can't eat that much anymore. I typically have
some sort of vegetable side dish with a hotdog.

I often eat kielbasa that way, although I usually grill kielbasa
as well. Both kielbasa and hot dogs are improved by browning.

My mother used to take temp positions once in a while to help out
neighbours and their businesses. She would pack lunches for us when she
was working. Most of the time we went home for lunch. It was a short walk.

There was no cafeteria in my elementary school. The lunch room was a
room in the basement. My first high school had a cafeteria, but I only
went there for three months. I don't remember whether or not there was a
cafeteria in my second highs school. It was old enough that it likely
did, but I only went there for one day. The third high school had a room
called a cafeteria, but it was just a large room with tables and a side
room with vending machines. That school closed at the end of the year
and a new one was built around the corner, and it had the same deal.

Adjustable beds. About six years ago my wife was in the hospital and
would not be able to take the stairs. Bought her an adjustable bed for
the first floor, got me one for the bedroom. When she got better I
moved hers up, side by side it was like a king size but independently
adjustable. Put the back up and it was like being in a recliner.

Many nights we'd be together watching TV, holding hands, in comfort and
she could go off to sleep whenever. Want your feet up? Push a button.
Best bed setup we ever had.

This is the one we ordered some two years ago, works great, no
complaints.

This one has a turntable, I'd prefer no turntable, limits the cookware
you can use, but these days they all seem to employ a turntable. Our
old GE had no turntable so it worked well with any rectangular
cookware, even the meat department rectangular styrofoam for
defrosting. Now the styrofoam corners upset the rotation... someone
didn't think this through... perhaps round styofoam trays would solve
the problem. I snip off the corners with scissors, helps some...I
assume meat department personel don't think in geometrical terms...
most butchers likely never graduated high school... however I'd think
microwave oven engineers have... most engineers are dumb fucks. I
worked with a lot of top engineers, NONE could tie their own shoe
laces, they wore flip flops, in the snow. Amazing how many couldn't
use battery operated devices, they used slide rules. If yoose ever
interacted with those types yoose would know the definition of 'common
sense'. Engineers have none, ZERO! And doesn't matter male or
female, most don't know socks first then shoes. I've heard long ago
that female engineers that tried to use tampons couldn't comprehend
where to insert, they have no knowledge of the difference between
vagina and anus... no wonder females can't do microwave ovens.

My KA mixer resides on the top of my refrigerator as I have a tiny kitchen
with three doorways. GRRRRRRRRRRRR

My cookware hangs from a pot rack above the kitchen sink. Did I mention
that I have a tiny kitchen? Besides this picture showing my pot rack it also
gives a small glimpse of how small my kitchen is. If the mixer resided on the
counter I'd have nowhere to cut and chop vegetables or prepare meats. I'll
not mention it would take up useable counter space for grocery bags to be
unloaded.

Cute kitchen. I see you have the dreaded blind corner. The three doors in my 9x9

I have thought about blocking up one of the doorways to get more counter

Thank you. The lower cabinet on the left is a lazy Susan cabinet and I've appreciated
it ever since the day I had the kitchen remodeled 25 years ago. To the right, where the
dishtowel hangs is the chimney to exhaust the gas water heater and gas furnace in the
basement. If that were gone it would give much needed extra cabinets. But where would
I exhaust those appliances?

If I blocked a doorway it would just mean extra steps to get to the backdoor or the
dining room. My kitchen is ok, just ok, as long as no one expects 7-course meals. :o)

Well, she can dispose of that teeny double sink too. I can never
understand people putting those tiny sports bar sinks in their family
kitchen... those puny things are barely large enough to cut lemon
wedges, or launder panties.

Just use one sink for lemons and another sink for panties. That's
already double the space.

That may be a little bigger than the house I lived in when I was really
young. We moved out of there when I was 2 1/2 so I don't remember much
about living there, but it was a semi detached and my aunt and uncle
lived next door and we used to visit them frequently.

If I blocked a doorway it would mean extra steps to get to the dining room or
hallway (and the latter wouldn't afford me much extra space). When we moved
in here we thought we might add a larger kitchen on to the back of the house,
but we never got around to it. At this point I'd settle for upgrading the cabinets,
countertops, and flooring. They've all seen better days, and weren't all that
good to begin with.

I could produce a 7-course meal in my kitchen, but I don't cook that way.

The smallest kitchen we ever had, was a small lean-to wooden shed
(corrugated iron roof).

It was a very narrow galley kitchen, so narrow that one side was
empty to create enough floor space and only one person could work in it.
Standing at the (single) sink, if I put out my arms I was touching two
opposite sides of the kitchen. It had, of course, been designed by a man
who didn't cook. It had beautiful hand-made solid beech cabinets and a
red worktop. We took them all apart and reinstalled them in a better
configuration (around a double sink).

There's a lot to be said for a kitchen that has everything within arms
reach (or just two steps away), which my current kitchen does.

One of my sons currently has a ginormous modern kitchen(also designed by
previous owner, a man who didn;t cook). It looks amazing but is
completely impractical. I absolutely hate cooking there. Central
granite topped island; you can run bloody miles round it just to make
dinner, and there's only one sink. A single.

I have the cheap version of those beds. I use 6-7 pillows to simulate
the raising bed. I like to lay and sleep on my left side with head and
upper body elevated up a bit.

Have done that all my life and so far I don't walk crooked. ;)

Don't know about your microwave but my turntable is removeable for

below the surface level.

Sure, but you get uneven heating. The ones that do not rotate have a
spinning paddle under the floor to bounce the waves around for more even
cooking.

If it is something you can stir, not a big deal, but if you stir a dish
of reheated lasagna it does not make for good presentation.

I don't think I remember the kitchen in that house from the time I lived
there. As I explained, it was a semi detached house and my aunt and
uncle had the one next door. They were mirrors images of each other. We
used to visit frequently. My aunt died in her 40s and my uncle lived
there until he was in his 70s.

I have mentioned the people I know, my SiL's best friend. They had a
dream kitchen build and the only people who have ever cooked in it are
the people who she had hired to cater dinners and parties. Apparently
that beautiful fridge rarely has more than a couple Tim Horton coffee
cups and croissants to be nuked for breakfast.

They eat supper in restaurants every night. They figure that if the go
to a decent restaurant and have only an entree and a glass of water,no
appetizers, no dessert, and no drinks or coffee, it is not much more
expensive than preparing dinner at home, and there is no work to prepare
or to clean up.

A huge waste of space there is that silly double sink. When we first
bought the house we're living in now my first renovation was to get
rid of the SS double sink and install a single over sized sink so I
could wash pots and pans. No one needs a barroom type sink in their
kitchen unless they and all their friends are alkies. Our new sink
was very easy, a trip to Lowe's to pick the over size sink and new
faucet. I removed the old SS double and took a saber saw to the
opening to increase the size. The new sink was deeper as well. The
entire job took about 3 hours and cost under $150.
If you want to keep it simple get a cutting board to cover one of your
double sinks but I strongly suggest going full monte.
Growing up kitchen sinks were a combo regular sink and a deep sink
with a sliding porscelainized metal cover. The deep sink was for
laundry. Most used scrub boards... fancy whites went to the Chinks. I
think the only Engrish they spoke was No tiki no laundy. I was who
always went to the Chinks, voluntarily, the 14 year old Chink's
daughter had the best bosoms I've ever seen since.... and when I was
twelve she'd move her kimono over and show me and say no touchee.
She was very proud of her bosoms and had every right to be. Very
often I still think if only I were a year older. I don't remember her
name but I still think of her as Miss Lychee Nuts... the thought of
her still gives me Lychee Nuts. To be perfectly honest I never
noticed that she had slanty eyes, and if she did I don't care, her
bosoms were awesome.

Yoose lived with a horrid kitchen sink for THIRTY SEVEN YEARS, with

mere pennies to renovate a kitchen sink. These days I'd have the
carpenter we use make the renovation for a lousy twenty bucks. I used
to do those jobs myself but nowadays I can afford to pay for someone
to do it... and I'm retired, no longer get a pay check. Our
neighbors's 17 year old son is much better at crawling into cabinets,
I have all the tools and would rather have a 17 year old boces student
takle the job and pay him rather than pay some stranger. William does
those kind of jobs for us all the time and never rips us off, he's a

He'll be a total sucess. Around here he'll earn more operating a

I had other priorities. Rebuilt both bathrooms extensively as that was

would do the sink it would be a $25k renovation. Wasn't horrid, just

Bolero would be fun to kill to, though some killers swear by Wagner operas.
I must confess a fondness for Rossini overtures, if not for killing, at least for
maiming.

That seems weird. You two aren't much older than me, and I can't imagine
a school without a cafeteria.

Yep, Sheldon actually wrote that. His wife must be a total piece of trash.
No woman of any quality would let a pig like Sheldon touch her

Why is there always an extra name under your posts? Is that a Google

You talk really tough for a mainstream suburban daddy, for a Joe

Most of them aren't really homosexual, hardly even bisexual, but it got lonely out
on them ships. They probably closed their eyes and imagined that they were
raping a woman's ass rather that scullery matron Shelly's. I mean, I've never
fucked a guy in the ass, but I ASSume that male rectums feel the same as female
ones, and you know, there's the whole suspension of disbelief thing.

The whole business probably made Shelly a better cook, since if he pleased them
with his performance in the kitchen, they might have buggered him more gently.
You really don't want to get boned in the ass by a sailor for whom you've cooked a
shitty meal.

My junior high and high schools had cafeterias. Just not the elementary
school. I was in elementary school in the Detroit suburbs between 1962
and 1969. Two different elementary schools, and neither had a cafeteria.

You could pretend that you're 14, and Ed is a 16 YO boy who is plying you with
Boone's Farm to get into your panties. That's what Boone's Farm was for, right?

No need to justify your decisions Ed. After all, none can live up
to Popeye's standards.

He'd cut his own damn throat if he couldn't have an RO water filter.

*NEVER* A basement with RO water filter is essential to any
homosexual sailor's life.

Even Jewish deli food and crystal palace comes in second and third.

But they do have plenty of expensive hearing aides.
