There's a man with a decision to be made and no where to go.
Ok...why don't you buy a Kitchen Aid heavy duty Pro 5 qt professional mixer on sale on Friday at Sam's Club. You can use it to make cookies, cakes, bread dough and pizza dough. Now that came out of left field and different that what you were thinking.
That sounds so good, I think that I will get one myself. My arthritis in my hands does not like mixing things by hand.
Happy Birthday!
