For my 25th birthday my Mom bought me a Kitchen Aid Artisan Mixer, DH couldn't understand what the fuss was until he saw how much I love to bake with it. So now he still doesn't get it but he loves my baking. I love that mixer so much, I would probably cry if it broke. No, I don't get attached to machines.

I have a Black and Decker processor but it seems like a tough little machine, at least for my needs. This thread is making me want to figure out more uses for the food processor. I am a kitchen gadget junkie, I have to have things even though I don't know why I want them. Food processor, bread machine, butter warmers, I tried to fix my Nanny and Pawpaw's ice cream maker but it didn't work.
