Mix

For Christmas I received a beautiful black Kitchen-Aid mixer. Since then I have also acquired the following attachments:

Grinder - grinds meat, veggies and evidently bread
Slicer - This is awesome. Yesterday I made hash browns from scratch and it took about a minute to work through the potatoes.
Juicer - This one is great. It is the kind where you can extract juice from fruit for canning. I am very excited and once I have a canner the trouble will really get started.

Sausage stuffer - That's right! I now have the technology to make sausage.

For today I am settling for making a ragu from scratch. And yes I will be grinding my own meet and using fresh tomato sauce that I'll be making myself.

It is going to smell great here in a few hours.

I hope everyone out there is having a fabulous new year.
