I just bought “mi-self” a Hamilton Beach 6 Speed Classic Hand Mixer at my local Wal-Mart store for $29.99 (well, plus the tax – can’t forget Uncle Sam; right?).

Everyday Italian

Anyhow, I love watching Food Network shows; especially Giada de Laurentiis’ show Everyday Italian.
She has such a bubbly personality along with her wide perfect smile, and let’s not forget her irresistible Italian dishes.

I must confess – I am not an Italian nor married to an Italian, but I love the pasta, the creamy sauces, the herbs, the breads, and etc – anything that can make you fat from eating Italian dishes (from all the carbohydrate ingredients) the more I love them.

I really do make attempts to make or cook food for my family, but I just don’t have the gift in the kitchen – I think it took me over three years to boil a pot of water on the stove

I remember cooking for my husband (when we first got married), and I would spend hours in the kitchen chopping, scrapping, sautéing, and etc.

By the time my husband came home from hard day at work I would have the table ready for dinner for two – have couple of candles lit up on the table, neatly position all necessary utensils and dishes set up, strategically place the entrée front of him, and etc.

I would just sit on my chair anxiously waiting (like a school girl) for him to take the first bite, and overwhelm his taste buds.

I remember doing this for him day after day – making him eat my food – I honestly, thought my cooking was great and I was doing him a favor.

Well, after 13 years of marriage I discovered that I made that poor man eat my crappy food for the first six or so years of our marriage.

He always told me it was great, and always finished his plate – not knowing how he really felt I gave him second servings too!

Cuisine Art

Well, back to Giada … I always see her using Cuisine Art hand mixer to make whip creams to cake mixes and etc.

I had the generic cheap handheld mixer that I bought it for $8.00 and it did serve my needs (making mashed potatoes) for past three years, but I wanted to trade up.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have $70 (nor wanted to even spend that much money even if I had the money) to buy Cuisine Art handheld mixer.

Thankfully I came across the Hamilton Beach hand mixer for $30 – that I could live with, and not going to lose my sleep over.

There are reviews written about the product, and they are generally satisfying one – I have not used it yet, but some of the things written about HB mixer are:

Hamilton Beach -- White

1)    It is quite
2)    All the attachments are stored in snap on storage case
3)    Five attachments included (traditional beaters, wire beaters, and a whisk
4)    It’s rather powerful
5)    Brushed stainless steel

Like I said I haven’t used it yet, but wish me luck ladies and gents – I am going to bake some cookies tomorrow, and let’s see if it is good as they say.
