I didn’t need to make that banana bread, so I sure didn’t need to have my KA for it. Or for that cranberry-orange cream cheese.
Blame Joe, he’s the one who bought it. 
It was definitely one of the smartest decisions of my life to not choose the KA classic white mixer when it came time to spend the points amassed from a corporate team project. Okay, technically, the smartest decision was to not marry my husband of 20 years who insisted that I not get it and has thus not enjoyed years of yummy goodness.
It’s even been worth the “I told you so’s” that resulted.
