My parents have the same, bought in 1976, orange, and still working, and I have the same as wedding present 25 years ago, and still working perfectly. Best mixers ever !!!

 

Rachel made a Christmas cake last week. I don't like Christmas cake.

Humbug.

 

hahahahhaahh.

Heres mine.



She's a we dancer.
I got her with loads of accessories, second hand, from a guy at work, she had been sitting unused for years, in the back of the garage under a sheet.
I sold everything except the liquidizer, they were snapped up on eBay, ( quicker than anything Ive ever sold). Made enough to cover the cost of the machine.
Went to make my first cake and it blew up.
On to youtube and eBay and got it going cleaned regreased, and painted.
Shes quick, loads of torque, stable at high speeds and Ive had her fully loaded for long periods and she never even turned a hair, and reasonably economical.
I will never sell her.

 

Got a Kitchen Aid Artisan myself, cost a few hundred quid but solid.
Feels like it would mix concrete.

 

You're avin 5 christmas cakes ???? You greedy greedy bastid !!

 

Is that the ceramic bowl, is that OEM?

 

Have I logged into a WI forum by mistake? WTF?

 

Blimey, I never knew you could get Christmas cake mixers. My deprived childhood.

My mum used to get me to mix them with a wooden spoon in one of those big mustard coloured ceramic bowls. She'd start making them in October and would be drizzling brandy in every week. till Christmas. Same with the puddings. Probably half a dozen of each to share with family and friends. To be fair she made the mince pies all by herself.

 

Last time I made a Christmas cake, I ate the whole thing myself and so Ive stopped now.

 

I’m starting to think we might need a bake-off

 

Taking inspiration from this thread and the never ending cookery programmes that that are on television these days such as The Great British Bake Off
I thought I’d get myself into the kitchen and give it a go
Having done some research on google and YouTube I thought I’d better learn to crawl before I walk
And here it is
My VERY FIRST EVER attempt at a slice of toast
I have to say I’ve taken to this cooking malarkey like a duck to water
Absolutely chuffed to bits with the results although I did find the first bite a little bit dry for my tastes
Then wor lass (clever she is) said if I put some margarine on the toast then that will take some of the dryness away making it a bit more palatable
WOW she’s right again
Hope you like the picture Tomorrow I’m gonna look into that cold box thing in the kitchen and see if I can find a packet of fried egg thingy’s
Have to do some more research first though

 

Take a mixer, put it too wheels and you have... a Honda Dax

 

You mean like Mary Berry

 

Clearly you need to move with the times and become a "modern man".
Over the years i have observed many things in the kitchen that are handy.
Oven~ great for heating crankcases and other metal things when dropping in a new bearing.
Freezer~ great for chilling bearings for above.
Dishwasher~ great for cleaning crankcases, heads ect ect.
Heaty up ring on top of oven~ great for boil in the tin chain grease.

All of the above are best done when the memsaab is OUT, otherwise she will expect to see you using these white-goods on a regular basis.

 

Hey Dilli, I think you might have inspired me ..... I'm going to ask my other half where the kitchen is ........
