Today's adventure in cooking!

Alex was working in the kitchen making a cheesecake for some kind of work potluck.

Turns on the mixer.

Here's what I hear: *WHRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTNKTNKTNKTNKTNKTNNKTNKTNNKTNTKTSCREECH*

"Um...Matt? I think I have a problem here..."

Note: When you put the beaters into a Sunbeam Mixmaster stand mixer, the little diagram about which beater goes where is for a reason.

One beater is still, somehow, mostly intact!

The other has been crushed into an impressive banana shape.

Yay for helping Alex finish his cheesecake with a hand mixer.

Debating looking for replacement beaters for a 20+ year old mixer, or just putting Mr. Sex on the christmas list and dropping a quiet mention to my family that if it's under the tree, Alex and I didn't expect anything else.

I WANT ONE OF THOSE SEXY MIXERS!

Yeeeees. Especially in the tuxedo black. Mmmf.

crushed it into a bananna?

Instead of looking like a proper beater, the one side's been flattened into a crescent, yep.

To be fair, any mixer that it would be theoretically possible to break by getting the beaters backwards should also design the beaters so that they cannot actually be inserted backwards. Most hand mixers I've ever owned simply won't let one of the beaters be put into the wrong slot - they have slightly different catches so that one won't click in.

Expensive toys should not break themselves from errors that even a competent user can be expected to make at least once.

You'd hope, but unfortunately, this particular one doesn't follow that logic.

Mr. Sex? That's Ms. Sex to you, buddy :)

I have one, it takes a beating, last forever, and is oh-so-yummy. Mmmm.

Mine's green.

And that splatter shield? Dead sexy. So happy to have that.

When I think of Tuxedo Black, I think male, but I suppose you could call the mixing bowl a dough-womb. ;D

It's one of those things I have ALWAYS wanted since I got my own place, but never have saved up to buy.

That mixer gives me a funny feeling in my pants.

[bzarcher.livejournal.com]

As it -should-.

Apparently I lack whatever gene is needed to make kitchen appliances sexy. ^^; My condolences for the loss of your mixer, though.

Ours is a refurbished model, in red. It's pure awe.

When we get a bigger house and kitchen, I want a second one, in black--- just so I can have it decked out in flames.

Construction site hazard stripes would work pretty darn well, too.

Though...man, just basic, solid, sleek black? It does have a charm all it's own.

How much was the refurb model, if you recall?
