True Love

20 years ago I was given a kitchen aid as a gift when I graduated UW business school.

Finally my kitchen aid has a new partner, and he is very strong and handsome

So I got a new book and there were so many good options I had a problem narrowing down my choices. Many of the items turned out well, but I probably should have slimmed down the menu and made a few more of some items and less of others.
