Never, ever, ever, ever get divorced, but if you are going through it like I am, I really feel for you. The strange thing I found after separating is you go to get something (especially in the kitchen) and you can’t find it, so you think “hmm maybe I misplaced it”. Then you think “hmm, maybe she took it with her” and you repeat that process a million times until you drive yourself crazy.
When my wife took her things to her new place the thing I missed more than anything else was the KithenAid mixer (odd I know). I made cookies the other day with one of those hand mixers, and the thing was moaning at me like a dying cow.
I found a new mixer online a few days ago which just came to the house today for $100 less than everyone else had it listed for, so I am pretty excited to get one again. She did all the cooking and baking, so watch out world I have a mixer now, so you have to suffer through my food experiments.
I’ll make it easy on you, here are some excuses (and solutions) for staying safe:
- 1
“Oh, I couldn’t possibly, I am on a diet because of my New Year’s resolution”
- 2
“I wouldn’t want to spoil my lunch/dinner/breakfast”
- 3
Ask who else has eaten one and then go over to them to see if they are still alive
New Beginnings
Every kitchen disaster is just an opportunity to learn something new. Embrace the chaos!
Small Victories
Finding that perfect deal on a new KitchenAid mixer is worth celebrating. The little wins matter.
Humor Helps
Sometimes laughter is the best ingredient in any recipe for moving forward.
