Speaking of slaves...

One slave was recently on an extended vacation.  Since Sweet Pea was born, I gave Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer some serious time off, while simultaneously requiring longer hours of other kitchen slaves, such as Crock Pot.  Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer must have felt somewhat neglected.  She was reinitiated with a Peanut Butter Pie last week.  Just as I was about to drop a huge dollop of Peanut Butter into her shiny metal bowl, I realized that a quick wash would be a good idea.  She'd never been dusty before.  Welcome back, Kitchen Aid Stand Mixer.  I'm looking forward to having your assistance on those Amped Up Brownies this week.
