OK, so I think I have gone around the bend if ya know what I mean.
Ya see it started out with just one Dormeyer Silver Chef. I bought it off ebay because it was exactly like the one my mother used for most of my life to make her wonderful cookies and cakes. So it would be like a keepsake sort of thing right? Well then I bought a second one because, well, it was cheap.
I already had a 5 qt KA and I saw this Kenwood for sale on a closeout. So I bought that too. So now I had 4 stand mixers. I decided I really needed a bigger mixer so I bought a 6 qt KA. That made five, but it doesn't mean I am a bad person, right? I fell in love with the KA 3B and just had to have one so now I have two. I liked the 4C so now I have one of those.
So the tally at this point is:
1 KA Pro 6
1 KA UltraPower
2 KA 3B
1 KA 4C
1 Kenwood Chef 700
2 Dormeyer Silver Chef’s
I started to really like the design of the Sunbeam Mixmaster and decided to get a couple if I could. Well I am the lucky sort and pretty soon I had a few Mixmaster’s:
Well four to be precise:
1 SB Model 4J
1 SB Model 3
1 SB Model 7
1 SB model 10
Also during this period I found a 1950’s Kenwood Chef 701 in GREAT condition so I had to have it and that HB Model G was just calling to me:
So now I am beginning to think this is bordering on obsession but I figure it is harmless right?
SO If I count right, at this point I have 14 in house and I forgot to count the other HB, a brand new Eclectrics (a poor mans KA) so really 15.
I have on their way to me right now:
1 SB Model 3 with juicer, two original bowls, the original warranty letter, and catalog
1 Magic Maid with bowl
1 GE 3 beater 149B 3
If I am counting right, that makes 18 mixers.
SO my question here: is this a Hobby or a Mental Illness?
