Still in need of the Knob!

I've been meaning to get to Sur la Table for weeks to pick up

all the things on my list. So since it was supposed to Storm all

day, and we were both craving PF Chang's, we took a little ride!

The first thing on my list was a Stainless steel knob to

replace the phenolic knob on my new Cassis dutch oven. All

the way to Greensboro, Mr. B teased that we were on the way to

Sur la Table to buy a knob. He even sang his rhyme a couple of times!

The second item on my list was a Stick-blender to replace

my old blender. You see... I've begun mixing up the CLEAN

breakfast shakes every morning, and while the shakes are

great, I simply dread Cleaning my blender every morning!

Sur la Table sells these Cuisinart stick blenders, in pretty

fabulous colors, for only $29.99. And, it comes with a cup!

I meant to grab the Tangerine one. But as it so often goes whenever

I step into my Candyland, aka, Sur la Table, I became distracted

and somehow, I ended up with the Pomegranate color instead

Nevertheless, I love it. It will be Much easier

to clean. And, it takes up Less counter space!

On we go to item #3. You remember this, right? Well, I do still love my 90th

anniversary Kitchenaid mixer. However, as interesting as the embossed glass

bowl is, I find it's often too Heavy after mixing up cake batters, cookie doughs

and icings in it. I also feel like it might break if I were to accidentally bump it

Fortunately, Kitchen Aid offers their stainless steel mixer bowls for

sale separately. So all I had to do was ask Patrick at Sur la Table

which one I needed for my mixer and he Matched me right up!

That's better! I sure wish I had thought of this Before I bought a

second Glass mixing bowl! Anyone need a glass mixing bowl? Ha!

Another thing that bugs me about my new mixer is the

attachments. They're metal and not powder coated like

the attachments that came with the 75th anniversary

Kitchen Aid mixer I own. Something about the bare

metal mixing attachments just doesn't feel right to

me. So item #4 was this paddle Mixing scraper!

After we left Sur la Table, while I wandered the Farmer's Market for

everything I need to make Tracy Anderson's turkey and kale soup is when

it hit me that I really should have written my list for Sur la Table down... Why?

Because somehow I managed to leave Without getting the knob at Sur la Table!

By the way! You must pop on over to Congratulate my sweet

friend Teresa (here!) on the Present her wonderful hubby gave her!
