danielle. p.s. also my fave question to ask randies
I got one from my bf it’s his mothers old one. They really are truly amazing I make so much good stuff using mine!
A KitchenAid is a KitchenAid, second hand or not. My mom upgraded from the 600 Pro to the 610 Pro, so I received “the old one.” Now I can make all sorts of delicious treats!
As of this very moment, I am compulsively searching the internet for attachments and accessories. I’m going to make myself so fat in the coming months…
Oh, and Janna, you can make me treats too.

Homo for the Holidays!
Well it’s Xmas Eve and tomorrow it will be Christmas. I always prefer to call it Xmas (It helps remove christ from christmas).

While Im digesting all this food I will be watching classic xmas tv specials and movies with the boy. Specifically alot of my favorite ones and as well as some new gems. My personal favs are:
1. A Charlie Brown Christmas- Classic but so is every charlie brown holiday special. Plus the soundtrack is nothing short of perfect.
2.American Dad “The Best Christmas Story Never”- This is a more recent special and its sort of amazing. It involves time travel, ghost of xmas past, the creation of disco,and a “Holiday Rapist”!
3. Alf “Xmas Special”- I just found it on Hulu, fuck yes!
Enjoy your holidays’ folks for now I will be chowing down on fish and slinging rum and cokes back til I pass out!

Xmas!
Well the holidays are coming, I know because I had to venture out to get lights today, specifically the old school big bulb colored lights. When I got to Target there entire lights section was picked clean, so I then I was left with no choice, i had to go to Wal-mart. I hate Wal-mart its always an awful experience especially on the weekend. There always bad no matter what part of the country you are in, and Im pretty sure somebody had puked in the store earlier near the entrance, i know because I think I spotted some of that puke sawdust clean up crap still on the floor .
It was worth it though because I found what I needed, for years I’ve wanted to put the old school xmas lights on my house. You see back when I was real young we used the Big bulb colored lights on the house, but then my family moved to a rather Waspy neighborhood and white lights were all my mother would allow let I think it was to blend in with the rest of neighborhood….. BORING! This year we get to change things up a bit thankfully, I get my gawdy lights for the house which personally I think are much more aesthetically pleasing then those lame icicle lights, or I’m just a sucker for campy stuff. The lights are the only thing in decorating I can get some hand in, my mother decks the rest of the house out in Santa’s and Nutcrackers, it’s a little terrifying.
Aside from this it is time for Xmas music, and cookies. My personal holiday favorite is “Christmas Wrapping” by The Waitresses, I fuckin love this song I used to dance around and sing it when I was kid, and I had to resist the urge to do the same when it popped on my ipod at the gym the other day. As for baking my mother is teaching me her holiday favorites including her coveted “tri-color cookie” also known as a rainbow cookie, my moms are better then any bakeries I’ve ever had, they’re are breathtaking….. Aside from this I’m excited because this is the first year that Jeff gets to spend xmas with my family, so it should be beyond phenomenal. Unfortunately though the crowds and tourists will state to flood new york….
Anyways I leave you with a synchronized house light show set to “Christmas Wrapping” kind of amazing!

Oh boy am I stuffed. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday food wise, especially because frankly my mom’s cooking is simply amazing. Anyone whose ever eaten at my house can contest to this. Not many peoples mom’s cook to the extent my momma does, and with the amount of food you’d think she’s feeding a small army. She is the italian Martha Stewart but nice and not drunk 24/7 (or so I’m told). Anyways my mom always pulls out all the stops and this year was no exception. I now give you the Belvedere Thanksgiving menu. Might I remind you there were only 10 of us.
First Course
- Mussels in a white wine cream butter sauce with smoked salmon and scallions (My bro made this they were incredile)
Main Course
- Turkey - That has been brined and soaked in buttermilk for day
- Mashed Potatoes- baked in the oven with a bit of ricotta, best potatoes ever!
- Stuffing with sausage- I only get this once a year
- Burnt Peas- Peas roasted with prosucitto and onions til burnt
- Stuffed Mushrooms
- Roasted Root Vegetables
- Asparagus roasted with shallots, and breadcrumbs
- Sweet Potatoes with bananas and a brown sugar pecan crust
- Pearl Onions in a cream sauce (Not my thing)
- Homemade Cranberry sauce
- Steamed Cauliflower
- Homemade Gravy
Dessert
- Apple and Pumpkin Pie (from the bakery)
- Banana pudding with chessman cookies, rum whipped cream and homemade Chocolate sauce (I made this)
- Chocolate covered Marshmallows
As you can gather Im so stuffed and need the healing power of the TV right now.

Mix
So for the most part when I have my ipod/phone on these days I keep it on shuffle. I have a running mix which is made of various genres of music and is about 120 songs long and growing, hence forth i keep it on shuffle.
The other day my Ipod took it upon itself on shuffle to assemble what quite possibly be the gayest possible mix it could make while I was at the gym. It’s a little embarassing.
1. Bad Romance - Lady Gaga (ok i started the work out to this!)
2. Liz Phair with Material Issue - Tra La La Song (One Banana, Two Banana)- yes the classic cartoon theme song and back when she was fuckin good
3. Bow Wow Wow - I Want Candy (The Kevin Sheilds remix)
4. Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence ( Depeche Mode is gay by default in my book)
5. The Sahngri-Las - Leader of the Pack (Classic)
6. Glee Cast - Halo /Walking on Sunshine ( I am love with this show)
7. Toni Basil - Mickey! (Who doesn’t love this song!)
8. Glee Cast - Somebody to Love
9. Lady Gaga - Paparazzi (I just love her so much)
10. David Bowie - Rebel, Rebel ( My all time favorite karaoke track)
11. Blondie - Rapture (Rapture Fever)
12. New Order - Bizarre Love Triangle (I prefer New Order over Joy Division)
13. Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger
14. Lady Gaga - Bad Romance (I have a problem)
Aside from this selection the rest of my running mix contains 80’s, 90’s Alt Rock, Pop, Glee , and the occasional classic rock ballad, to be specific Paradise by the Dashboard Light by Meatloaf .
