the kitchenaid has arrived
My Christmas present from Stephen came in today - a little early but I’m not big on xmas traditions anyway. As such, I was inspired to spend hours browsing recipes to try instead of studying for my interview tomorrow. Several recipes later, I’ve decided that I need even more supplies before I can embark on holiday season baking:
1. Candy thermometer - A botched caramel sauce recipe has taught me that not all my kitchen endeavors can be eyeballed.
2. Cookie scoop - Uniform, bakery quality cookies are a must.
3. Silpat - Non-stick goodness that will aid in my first (and most likely failed) attempt at making Parisian macarons.
4. Gel food colors - I found a 12 pack that I really want. Yes, 12. These will come in handy when I decide to make sugar cookies and a gingerbread house. Xmas to me = cookies and shopping.
5. Dutch oven, peel, etc. - For my first (and also likely failed) adventure in bread making.
My Kitchenaid will already be hogging a lot of kitchen real estate, which my mom already does not appreciate, so I will have to introduce these items slowly. One at a time…
