Mama Wants a New 'TOY'

The big news around here is that Jeffrey finally got his big screen TV. He's been looking, and he's been wanting one for a long time. He finally found what he thought was a good deal, and he got free financing for two years, so he went ahead.

Now, I'm thinking that, since he got a new 'toy' that I ought to get something, too. Of course, he wouldn't object. He's always telling me I can get what I want. I found this Hamilton Beach® Stand Mixer that would be really nice to have. It's not really a 'toy' but it would certainly be fun to play with. My current mixer, a hand mixer, isn't even a Hamilton Beach® Mixer. It's another brand, and it's my second one. I wore the first one out.

This morning I decided to make zucchini bread, and, while I was at it, I made this video:



If Hamilton Beach® thinks my video is creative enough, I could win an Eclectrics® Mixer. I want the red one that's in the video. Can I get the red one? The website is great. You can try out all the different colors.

Oh, I could have fun with this mixer! It's got 400 watts of power, 12 different settings, a flat beater, a dough hook, and a wire whisk, and a 4.5 quart stainless steel bowl with handle. That bowl would be great. You don't see it on the video, because I only got so far as to mix the eggs, oil, and sugar, but by the time I had all the ingredients in the bowl, it was all the way to the top. I had to be really careful not to make a huge mess.

Also about the video, I was going to say that I don't really dance around while I'm mixing stuff, but then I went back and finished mixing the zucchini bread, and I realized that, actually I do kind of dance around while mixing. Do I really want people to know that?

The Hamilton Beach® Eclectrics® All-Metal Stand Mixer also has a three-year limited warranty, so if I wear it out, they should replace it. Think of the things I can bake. It really is a 'toy' we can all enjoy. Like the TV.

The zucchini bread is in the oven and should be ready in about an hour. If you drop by, I'll share.
