When I get back to my old neighbourhood in Ottawa, I can't resist popping in to one of my favourite kitchen shops to see what's new, wander around, and get a bit of inspiration for dinners and baking to come.
Well, what's new was Kitchen Aid's glass mixing bowl! I bought one the minute I saw it. How can it be that I didn't I know about it before now? I guess I've been spending too much time travelling because after a visit to Kitchen Aid's website I learned that it's been available since March 2010. Imagine, an entire year without this glass mixing bowl.

I bought my first Kitchen Aid in 1990 and It's been reliably whirring away, taking on anything I throw at it. It's my favourite workhorse in the kitchen and I use it for everything. Over the years I've bought most of the attachments and do-dads, the last one being the ice cream maker.

One of John Morra's Beautiful Mixers |
In New York a while back, I happened upon an interesting exhibit by the still life artist, John Morra who immortalizes and elevates the modest mix master in his beautiful still life paintings. I was mesmerized.
One day, if I save enough I think I'll have him paint mine.

Hi Jennifer!
This is Hilary - the girl who interviewed and took pictures of you at the Great Glebe Garage Sale last weekend. I can't remember if you gave me your email address or not, but I just wanted to share with you the post I wrote for the blog Local Tourist Ottawa. It's basically a wrap up post of my experience at the sale, and you and your bake table are mentioned. Thanks again for chatting with me!
