Ode to My KitchenAid

Originally published on 02/22/2019 I've been cooking and baking for most of my life. My aunt told me I was cooking chicken dinners when I was only four years old! I love cooking and baking from scratch. When Larry and I got together, he taught me how to make bread by hand, which I had really only done one other time in my life. Pies, cookies, brownies, bread, pasta, you name it, I love making it! (Not my own picture) My mom knows I love to bake and make my own foods as much as possible, so she gave me her Hamilton Beach stand mixer before we left California. It was a good mixer, but really small. I sometimes had a hard time making a full batch of cookies because of that. Both my sister-in-law and mother-in-law have a KitchenAid Professional Stand Mixer... I was rather jealous because of all the cool stuff it could do! Some people don't know, I know I didn't until they showed me, that the KitchenAid Stand Mixers are able to use different attachments! There are sooo...

Fall Semester 2015

I am currently four weeks into the Fall semester at Boise State University. The first two weeks were spent in Florida with my family. I wish it was to say that it was for fun... My dad went into the hospital and when things weren't looking too good, I was on the next flight out of Boise. Four plane rides later I got to Florida. We were able to surprise him though, so that was a major bonus. :) Daddy's idea: Gators (Minnie) vs Seminoles (Tabitha) with the Tater (Me) as referee! This trip was much different than the one I made there in 2006. I had never met my dad's other three kids, so that trip was more of a getting-to-know-you kind of trip, and I hadn't seen my dad since 1982 - I was only four years old so I had no memories of him, only pictures. I love this guy! The trip I made this year had lots of good points though. I got to spend more time with my sisters, and daddy called us the "Three Musketeers" because of our giggly shenanigans. :) We had...

Impromptu Surgery

-
So, my friend, Matt, came to look at my leg on Wednesday... I had squeezed a zit that had become SERIOUSLY ANGRY ! From across the room he sees it and says, "That's infected." and determined if I couldn't get the boil (yes, boil, aka staph infection!) to open on my own he'd bring his surgery bag. He had squeezed the absolute life out of my leg (mentioned I was gonna hate him) and told me to take a shower and try to get the scab off so peroxide could get in and do some magic. Well, after the hottest shower on my leg I was still nowhere near it opening. Cristy asked if I wanted her to squeeze and I decided to get Matt with his bag. At least it would be over and get to the healing part, right? He brought Lidocaine to numb, but I bent ALL FOUR needles with my skin! So, he asked if I wanted to go ahead or if he should get his BIG needles that he's never used, mentioning that it would hurt just as much to insert the big needle as it would to just do it......
