That’s what 52 always says when he brings me something and I ask what it is. He says it starts with a P or an S or a G. (Present, Surprise, Gift.) This time it was a vintage K5-A Kitchen-Aid mixer!!!!!!
See Instant Picklefication today at Farm Bell Recipes.

A surprise! A very nice surprise. I have an old Kitchen-Aid, even older than yours (it doesn’t have the “arms” to each side of the bowl). It’s the same color, though. It’s a great kitchen tool and you can get attachments. Too cool.

That is SO neat! I have one of those also. They are really great! Mine doesn’t have the arms either, but I don’t think that that matters much. I also have lots of add ons for it. One of the best kitchen machines ever invented. :sun:

I have Mom’s old KA-5. Great machine. Better than the newer ones. I think I have stripped some gears using it to make bread. I just have a few speeds left but it still works great.
Wonderful gift! This man is a treasure.

You are going to LOVE it!!! And you have sooo much more flexibility with the larger bowl. I have the smaller one, and use it all the time, for all sorts of things. I just have to watch how much flour is added – you won’t have to be that careful.
Enjoy!

Lucky you! The vintage models are better than the newer ones, in my experience. Love the attachment choices we have now though.

Congratulations! I love my Kitchen-Aid and I think of all my years of cooking without this great appliance, (sigh). The dough hook is fantastic and I never knead dough anymore! You just let that baby go…

You lucky gal!!!! You better share that lemon curd layer cake with him for that!
And I wanted to tell you that I have made that 4 layer strawberry dreamsicle cake 5 times since you posted the recipe and people go crazy over it! I even got a death threat from one of my uncles because of it. He said I’m going to have to kill you if you ever come to a family dinner again and don’t bring this cake!

Lucky, lucky girl!! I´ve wanted one for years!!Well, maybe hubbie will read this and take the hint. These mixers are horribly expensive here in Argentina, I must see if I can find a used one. Good for 52. :dancingmonster:

I have a Kitchen Aid mixer that my Mom got me for my birthday 3 years ago! I LOVE it and can’t imagine not haveing one now. My 4 year old daughter has already told me that I “can give that to her when I get too old to cook” lol
