After a long, unexpected and very necessary hiatus, The Empty Kitchen has returned! I will, at some point, explain why I have been gone for almost 2 months but for now, please enjoy my return with a short poem I wrote about my most favorite kitchen appliance, my Kitchen Aid stand-up mixer:
Love.
Stand-up mixer, I love you so
You help me make cake, bread, and cookie dough.
Although you are yellow, dirty and fairly old,
You are one item that will never be sold.
Your multiple attachments and your giant, shiny silver bowl,
To use you as much as possible is a goal.
Stand-up mixer, I love you , you see.
I love you even more because you were free.

haha love it! i should read it to my kitchenaid. it’s old and ugly and stained but it was free! and it works 🙂
it works and it was free…doesn’t get much better than that!
We just got a stand mixer (an orange one) and we love it already! Ours, sadly, was not free, but was bought with gift money so it’s almost free!
orange? is it part of the rachael ray collection? i know her stuff is usually orange.
I don’t think so. It’s just a tangerine mixer from Bed Bath and Beyond! It’s the usual kitchenaid. they come in all sorts of pretty colors!
Yay! You’re back! I missed your posts.
thanks! i am so glad to be back.
