[Comments] (4) Nice buns!: So awhile back I got a fun HUGE package in the mail from my sis-in-law Jenni for my birthday. A sweet KitchenAid. Her mom gave her the bigger one so she graciously handed down to me her old one. It's a dream. I guess she remembered me saying that I never make rolls and cookies because it was too much of a hassle without a mixer. With this in mind, she gave her old mixer to a good home.

Today I made for the first time in my life ROLLS! I also made for dinner turkey, mashed potatoes (the cheating kind), stuffing, jello salad, and pumpkin pie. It was fun and I now have a lot of leftovers. That is what I mainly made the turkey for because 1) turkey sandwiches on wheat with a little mayo and a lot of cranberry sauce is the best, and 2) I love Hawaiian haystacks. And I made a lot of stock and cut up a lot of turkey for a few meals of those. Now my back hurts from standing up in the kitchen too long.

Thanks Jenni!

Wow, I am jealous! I need to get me one of those! My friend was selling hers on craigslist for 50% of the retail price and she didn't even tell me until I was there and some guy came to buy it--I was bummed--it would have been a good deal, but free is better!

That is a GREAT gift! I love practical hand-me-downs. Good job on starting to make bread. It is really very do-able with a kitchen aid. Did she send you the booklet of recipies? I have an extra I would be glad to send your way if you did not get it, there are some nice bread ideas in it.
