Bed Bath Beyond
We never made it to the second floor and still spent over $800. It would have been $900 if we didn't have a coupon.
Sam gasped at the checkout when the total appeared, but I leaned over to him and said, "These are heritage purchases." Which is supposed to mean something you keep for a thousand years, like a good old well-seasoned cast-iron skillet that you pass on to someone else. I just take it to mean, "how I make myself feel better about a $200 food processor".
Seriously, it feels good to buy stuff together that's meant to last a long time. Awwwwww.
I've never bought my own pots and pans—inherited those from Allen. Never bought my own flatware—gift from Mom and Dad one year. I'm a gadget geek in the kitchen, too, but Sam talked me out of one of those 500 HP KitchenAid standing mixers.
Next time, for sure.

Um.. Like you have room for a standing mixer... you would have to hang it from the ceiling!
HUGS

Loon. You're a loon. You HAVE TO HAVE one of those mixers. Its the yuppie "need" of the past decade.
DON'T get me started. Don't GET me started.
500 HP? Sheesh. Maybe you could trade in the Vespa and ride the blender around instead.
Uhh, that was supposed to be WATTS :)
as gay men, most of us don't carry Coach handbags. therefore we are entitled to have a KitchenAid stand mixer in our kitchens. it's a status symbol!
Tell Sam I'm ashamed of him. Those KitchenAid mixers are pretty damn cool.
My mom bought me a LitchenAid mixer last week- cobalt blue, it works so nice I asked it out on a date.
err- that would be a KitchenAid...
Hey, I was all for the mixer. I had to choose between one or the other, and I picked the food processor.
it's about time you bought all that stuff. i can't wait for you to cook for me!
