I asked for a grinder attachment for my KitchenAid stand mixer this year. The mixer came as a bonus from points earned on my credit union credit card. You think it's $259 for the mixer and that's it, right? Nope. Like any precision tool, you have to have the attachments. Three came with it. With my grinder, rather than throw away the best part of the carrots, I plan to make things like carrot salad (with mayo and raisins) and such.

(As I contemplate attachments for the stand mixer, I'm also shopping around to see what bits I really need for my router--with the move to this house I've broken through the barrier imposed at school in the 1960's--out of Home Ec and into Shop. Yesssss!)
