Whatever! Guess I'll just wing it and hope for the best.
As I write this it is a little past 1:30 AM and I'm waiting for my second batch of peanut butter cookies to come out of the oven. Yep, my sleep schedule is as messed up as my ability to blog. You're shocked, I know. Being an "adult" is pretty great though. I used to lay in bed awake and wish that I could get out of bed and bake whenever and NOW I CAN!! There's just something really cool about baking
Also, this is only the second time I've used my new Ice Blue KitchenAid!! Shoutout to my mother for this graduation gift, you're the best EVER. So I guess I actually will be reviewing something!!
Ok. Bad news first. The bowl is kinda small (I should've anticipated this and gotten a bigger one so it's my fault), the attachments are kinda cheaply made in my opinion and I don't foresee them lasting long term very well, and even with just peanut butter cookie dough it seemed very hard on the machine. This is just a personal preference, but I wish the bowl itself had a handle, but to be honest it looks better without one.
Now for the good news: I love the color, it's cute. Not a useful or practical attribute, I know. But what can I say, I'm easy to please and gosh dang it does look cute on my counter. And as much as I complain, it gets the job done.
I don't even really like peanut butter cookies, but I didn't have any chocolate so this was the only option on short notice. My brain has been a little fried lately with stress, I've been reading A LOT of great stuff (it is definitely a brain workout), and it's finally cooling off outside enough to turn an oven on. Since baking is usually my favorite way of de-stressing, I couldn't resist. I get to make a mess, I make delicious (most of the time anyways) treats, and I get to be in control. It helps.
That's all for tonight!
