Food of Love

One of my wildest wedding dreams has come true.

Someone has purchased the Kitchenaid stand mixer off our registry!

Forget about the towels, the dishes, the much-needed 24-piece tupperware set. This is one sharp cookie.

We're looking at 325 watts, 10-speeds, a 5-quart bowl and an empire red finish.

Now, I know this is a common registry item for brides - even for those who have no intention of ever using the dough hook or the horsepower. As for them: shaaaame on you.

But to me - the girl who hand mixes everything save for the time I whip out my immersion blender from the early 90s to finish the job (do you even understand how wrong that is?) - this is the icing on the cake, literally.

Thanks to online registries, brides have the awkward but thrilling knowledge as to when items on their registry are "complete," or shall I dare say it - left unfulfilled.

HAPPY SIDENOTE - When you register at Pottery Barn, you receive 10-percent off all items left on your registry - as well as any items you wish to add - for six months after the wedding.

However, in cases like this, you're left overjoyed with a splash of intrigue and dash of excitement. You have absolutely no idea who bought it or when it will arrive - as if brides weren't antsy enough :)

So, to the Lovely Person who purchased the empire red 5-quart, 10-speed, 325-watt Kitchenaid stand mixer, I can't wait to squeeze your neck and send you cookies, or a cake, or whatever baked goods your heart desires.

P.S. - This is the first thing I predict making! Or maybe this.
