Kitchen Aid was the Winner!

Do you remember my blog a few weeks back on whether you preferred your Kitchen Aid Mixer or your Kenwood Chef?

The Kitchen Aid Mixer was the winner and I was really hoping I would get one for Mother's Day

I wasn't sure I would because they are a little pricey and I figured that I may have to wait and get a combined pressie for Birthday, Christmas and our Wedding anniversary. They are all in December so that could work!

But no, I didn't have to wait! I have the most wonderfullest family and I totally got spoilt yesterday :-)

I am one very, very, very, happy girl

and it works, Nicholas made me pancakes for breakfast yesterday and we used the new mixer. 

I put the ingredients in and then I turned it on.

I didn't have to cook the pancakes or clean it up. 

I just got to sit back and watch while I had my coffee:-)

I used the mixer again today to make lunch, because I could. 

We had a frittata so I whisked the eggs in it, it worked well.

I am a little nervous though, 

I feel a little pressured to be producing nicer food. 

I think the boys may start to expect cakes that are soft and spongy now,

 maybe even fancy stuff like meringues

Lucky Nick booked me into the 'How to use your new Kitchen Aid Mixer' class. I have a feeling I need it!

Did you have a nice Mother's Day?

Kitchen Aid or Kenwood Chef

Ok bloggy friends, Mother's day is just around the corner and I need to start dropping hints.

I would love a new mixer as I know it would help me become a Domestic Goddess but I am undecided about which one to get. 

I thought I wanted the Kitchen Aid mixer and I love the red, (but I would play it safe/boring and get the brushed nickel)

But I have heard that the Kenwood Chef mixer is better. 

I am in need of your help, this is a big investment I don't expect to be replacing it in a hurry (there are far to many other pretty things that are not practical that I would like to buy as well) and I am not even sure that I will get one for Mother's Day, I may have to wait until the end of the year and ask for a  combined Birthday/Anniversary/Christmas present in order to justify the expense but I would love to hear your thoughts.

Do you have one? Which one? Do you know anyone that has one and do they like it? 

Do you have another mixer that works just as well or better?

Please tell me all, the good, the bad and the ugly?

I did mention that I am a researcher, didn't I?
