Meet Betsy

I opened one of my presents early . . .

Betsy* replaces a Sunbeam stand mixer I’ve owned for probably 25 years,

and would happily still be using if I could get replacement beaters for the ones I wore out. 

Leia and I put Betsy through her paces last Wednesday,

making Leia’s favorite chocolate chip cookies. 

They were even more excellent than usual, so I guess Betsy is here to stay.

* Betsy is a Hamilton Beach Eclectric 12-speed 4.5 quart stand mixer. I looked at the different Kitchen Aid mixers, along with a few others, and decided Bets was the best fit for me. Plus, I love her red paint!
