I love to bake, but I only do it at my dad's house because he's got one of those nifty kitchenaid stand mixers. Been thinking about baking at home lately.

You can bake just about everything with a normal hand mixer. The only things I really miss my kitchenaid for are bread doughs. And egg whites because god I hate whipping egg whites into meringue.

A culinary quandary for you, thread. I want something that's crock pot friendly so I can cook it while playing Mass Effect 3 on Tuesday and just smell at it for hours while I punch aliens. Problem is, I cant decide between Chili, puerco pibil and a 7-bone roast with all the fixings.
This may be the most important decision I will ever make.

Skettts.
You could scale down the recipe you know.
This reminds me, I need to buy a new hand mixer. I spent twenty dollars on it a good six or seven years ago and smoke started coming out of it last month.

It had a good run.
I should probably do that one of these days. It'll probably take a few attempts though.

Just divide everything by the number of eggs or whatever. Shouldn't need multiple attempts.
I generally give up on spoons and just get my hands into the mix when I'm making cookies.
Man, what? Doesn't the heat from your hands melt the butter?
So, typically when you make cookies, unless they are special varieties, the butter will either be softened or melted. You should only really need to be concerned about hand-warmth melting the butter when baking something like millefeuille when flakiness or pockets of butter are desirable. Otherwise it may slightly change the crispness of your average chocolate chip or oatmeal cookie buut I wouldn't sweat it.

Plus most cookie doughs call for a chill period if you want them to be perfectly chewy anyway! So no big deal in the end if they get a little extra squidgy.

So.
I just spent 115 dollars on cooking books at Amazon.

I just spent like 400 dollars on couverture chocolate, cocoa butter colors, luster powders, chocolate molds, fruit purees, invert sugar, glucose syrup, and another chocolate book from Amazon and various specialty shops.
Gulp.
The wife and other family members agree it's worth it though after tasting what I've made in class the past few weeks. Now to perfect a few things by Easter. Yikes.

The only time my hand warmth has been a big problem was when I made chocolate truffles one christmas.
I was coated in the stuff by the time I was done.

Yep, our giant has an olive bar of sorts. Not very much though. Wegmans is the place to go for that. And the cheese. I swear, the cheese kiosk is amazing. Portal cheese snobs around here.
Olives must not be that popular down there. Many markets here have olive bars in them. Many QFCs have them as does the Ballard Market.
Oh, something about the way Javen wrote, "when we go to an olive bar" and the pictures on GIS made me think there were like stand alone olive bar establishments somewhere. A bizarro-world chain called Nina's Olive Bistro that just serves different olives and cocktails made with Pepsi products or something.

I feel like a crockpot would kill the texture of a jambalaya.

good job!

Do you think a stand mixer is necessary to cream butter and mix some decent cookie dough, or can I get away with a hand mixer? Any recommendations?
It's too thick to whisk and I find that the tines, ah, "smoosh" things together better.
they are, normal grocery stores just don't have them. whole foods and farmers markets have them.

I have warm hands.
Right below it is a tray of onions, mushrooms and cauliflower. Going to be some good eats tonight.
Those cookies are one of the few things with coconut I enjoy :oops:
This.
My ch. chip cookie recipe results in 9-12 dozen. Mixing in the ch. chips is haaaarrrd

Which is nice I guess.
But the cost of the pots, the potting mix and fertilizer were more than the plants themselves.
Happy birthday?

Since you've got the eggs out anyway, maybe try making your own mayo for a different element to it.
Indeed it would.
sliced green onion, cumin, red pepper
or
garlic, cumin, corriander, pickle relish
It is pretty good.
