toys toys toys!

this girl's got new kitchen toys! first and foremost, the corner piece and absolute must have i believe for all bakers, amateur and professional alike, is the kitchen aid artisan mixer. classic and modern, and in a nice splash of icy blue colour...i guess this makes it official...i have joined the baking ranks! *grin*

on top of the artisan, the kitchen got quite an indulgent addition - the cuisinart ice cream maker. being the ice cream monster that i am...this was really a treat! having had a hand with the more generic type ice cream makers, and being disappointed with quite lack lustre results, the cusinart definitely delivered. it was extremely easy to use, took all of 60 minutes and produced quite a solid first pint of cookies and cream. plans are already perculating for some fancy mancy flavors so don't be surprised if mojitos features some ben and jerry inspired replicas (yes...i have the b&j recipe book!) and most definitely some of mojitos' own creations!
