So, I have been saving some money  that was for pans for a long time.  I have been trying to decide if I should buy more pans, but really did not need any, so just saved it. A couple weeks ago, I started thinking about any thing I needed in the kitchen as I figured I could spend it on that. But nothing really stuck out to me right off, until I thought that maybe I should get a mixer. I have never had a stand type mixer to knead bread or anything, and never really wanted one, but lately I had been thinking with children that seem to be eating more, that it might be wise to have one. I started looking around and  you can buy a Kitchen Aid for around that price, but have heard they burn up with whole wheat bread dough etc. So.........anyhow, with ending up getting  to spend our tax refund on a new house, we decided to take $200 of the tax rebate and that money we had saved and buy a Bosch mixer! I got it today, with the blender as my blender was an old one my dad found by a garbage can that works sometimes lately and so this  is so exciting! I just have to make sure I use it and you will have to give me lots of hints for it! I tend to avoid using things that take alot of cleanup, but I love my food processor, so I am sure I am going to like this! It fits perfectly on the counter too! So, maybe we can save some money on the amount of bread we have been going through!

I have been a bit discouraged as with moving, money seems to melt away and I am not used to spending all the money we have had to. Food prices have gone up alot too, so that makes it more difficult to keep costs down.

Off to start my soup, It is a cold day today, but it is supposed to warm up alot, to summer temps this week, so that is why the variable in the menu.
