Kitchen Aid Mixers are GRAND! Look at this beauty...I mean a pear colored mixer.
Today was my first day breaking this bad girl out of the box and putting her to work. Now I am typing this before I even sample the bread she assisted me in making (she does the hard work and I toss in "the goods").
An old friend of mine from my baby blue and yellow days (River Hill lacrosse) shared the recipe for cinnamon bread by "The Pioneer Woman". I saw Amber's BEAUTIFUL loaf on Facebook yesterday, yes: yesterday, and I just had to run out get the things I was missing and try it myself.
After a quick run to Target and a rolling pin, loaf pan, and dry yeast in hand, I was off to dig up my brand new Kitchen Aid mixer.
While reading the recipe I was realizing how insanely patient a breadmaker must be. This is not what I am all about, but hey, I am using the $250 mixer! This tiny inspiration, thanks Amber, got me reading the booklet that came with it and now I want to make homemade chocolate chip cookies, but I've run out of white flour (only whole wheat left - I wonder if whole wheat choco chip's would even taste alright?)
So now I wait for two hours...but first I must clean up my mess (as I had plenty of 10 minute breaks of "waiting" during this bread making preparation so it really isn't too bad).

Two days later...the beautiful loaf was a TOTAL BUST. For some reason the rising that was supposed to occur during the many hours of me WAITING - did not happen. Oh well! I guess if at first you don't succeed, try, try again!
