Foodie Friday : Meet a New Member of My Kitchen Family

new kitchenaid mixer!

Isn't she gorgeous?! My husband got some major points for surprising me by ordering a Kitchenaid Mixer for an anniversary present. Not that I hadn't been hinting at wanting one for ages. But I never actually thought the day would come where I'd be admiring it on my own counter top! He originally tried to get me the Pistachio colored one, but when that fell through, we decided that this lovely matte charcoal called Imperial Gray would transition well into any kitchen (and any decor, as I am prone to redecorating far more than necessary).

Now I just need to pick out a name for her. (Yes, I name all my major appliances and plants. Totally normal.) I'm leaning towards Martha, named after the Queen Domestic Goddess herself. But Ina or Julia are options as well. Care to weigh in? Any other ideas for names? Any baking recipes I just have to try? I'd really like to try this whole wheat bread and these chai snickerdoodle cookies!

8 Love Note(s):

  1. She surely is beautiful. I like Ina the best as far as names go. It's less obvious than Julia or Martha although both work well, too. I'm totally jealous.

  4. Oh you're so lucky! Big kudos to your husband. If it were up to me, I'd name her Nigella...but I like your choices too, especially Julia.

  5. Thanks everyone! I'm so excited :)

    @Jadyn ~ Nigella is an AWESOME suggestion. I love Ms. Lawson. I ran the names past my husband and Nigella was his favorite! That might just be the winner...

  6. I love that you name your appliances!

  7. @Stephanie ~ I don't *just* name appliances... I name electronics, plants, cars and probably some other things I'm forgetting about. And usually, if I fail to name something, I am cursed with it malfunctioning or dying on me :)
