Day 120 ~ thanks, mom!

When I was mixing the frosting for the cake for Jacquie & Dan's shower, I burned out the motor in my little hand mixer...which I had found very handy and convenient to keep in my kichen drawer. I had always thought that a stand mixer that stayed on the counter would be bulky and in the way...but I realized that burning up motors in hand-held mixers wouldn't be cost-effective if I did it every year or so...
Anyway, last night we took mom's Christmas money and bought ourselves as nice Sunbeam Mixmaster - just like the one my mom had! Can't wait to whip those potatoes for our traditional sauerkraut and pork and mashed potato new year feast! Happy 2006, everyone!!!
