I was thinking you should forget about and not listen to these people. They are old and ugly. And you have nothing to worry about.

Not exactly sweater and slippers but....

This is the picture that sprang immediately to my mind: I think I might cultivate this look!

Go to about 4:30 mins in and see Bunny Summers (scream queen extraordinaire). From one of my all-time favourite schlock horror movies, From Beyond...so full of cheese you could wrap it in wax and call it edam.

Actually this is harshing what little of my mellow is left after a day with the subsets of feet and meters. (WTF?)

Anyway, the inch and I were making therapeutic sugar cookies and I put some butter in the Kitchenaid which wasn't quit room temperature. (Or as we say around here, frozen solid)

I pretty much stripped a gear or two, now the thing is pretty pathetic. Maybe I'll videotape it and put it up on youtube. Now we are back to making cookies the old fashioned way, by hand, in the snow, uphill both ways...

(On the other hand,at least I didn't assassinate a hive of honey bees)

You say you put the butter IN the kitchen aid, which makes me think it's one of those heavy counter top mixers you are talking about and not a little hand held thing. That's amazing. It should be able to handle hard butter without any difficulty at all.

...Unless it was actually frozen solid. (I keep my extra butter in the freezer, too.)

Started in my hometown:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"The modern KitchenAid stand mixer began with a single drop of sweat off the end of a busy baker’s nose. The year was 1908, and Herbert Johnston, an engineer and later President of the Hobart Manufacturing Company in Troy, Ohio, was watching the baker mix bread dough with an age-old iron spoon. To help ease that burden, Johnston pioneered the development of an 80-quart mixer. By 1915 professional bakers had an easier, more thorough, and more sanitary way of mixing their wares.

In fact, that amazing, labor-saving machine caught on so quickly, the United States Navy ordered the Hobart mixers for its three new battleships - The California, The Tennessee, and The South Carolina. By 1917 the mixer was classified as “regular equipment” on all U.S. Navy ships.

The success of the commercial mixer gave Hobart engineers inspiration to create a mixer suitable for the home. but World War I interfered, and the concept of a home mixer was put on hold.

The first home stand mixer was born in 1919 at the Troy Metal Products Company, a subsidiary of the Hobart Manufacturing Company. The progeny of the large commercial food mixers, the Model H-5 was the first in a long line of quality home food preparers that utilized “planetary action.” Planetary action was a revolutionary design that rotated the beater in one direction while moving it around the bowl in the opposite direction."


My grandpa was a machinist at Hobart. I have a pic of me in a sweatshirt he gave me that said "I got smashed...in a kitchenaid trash compactor." There was a pic of a smashed and drunken looking (had a face) trash compactor bag.

Hobart also built a fair amount of steel houses around town. I've been inside one...very unusual.

Were. Were built like tanks. Ours is about 12 years old and I make it work for a living. The frozen butter though was the kick in the head that sent it down. I think I am about ready to graduate to a baby Hobart anyway.

These people didn't get your memo however, Steve.
