Ok ladies.. I need some advice. My birthday is comming around the corner and Trav says I can have anything I want this year (since he just bought himself a sniper rifle.) I need some help deciding what would be the best investment because I know this is not going to happen again anytime soon... I figure I have about $400 or so to spend so here's the options I'm thinking about:
1. Bosch Mixer - the compact version is $199 and includes a blender and food processor option, plus the whisks and dough attatchments. It makes about 2 loaves of bread.
2. Wheat grinder - about $150 (I haven't decided the version yet)
3. Larger Bosch mixer - $399 it does 6 loaves of bread. It comes with whisks and dough attatchments. For $50 more you can add the food processor accessory.
4. A Camcorder - I haven't narrowed down which one yet - but I do think it would be nice to capture the kids before they all get to old.
5. A Blendtec Blender - $375 makes icecream, soup, smoothies etc...
I don't know.... I would like to make bread for my family, but I have a bread maker now and never use it... so would the mixer change that? And what else do you use a mixer for, really. Sonja has a blendtec and LOVES it, she makes shakes etc. everyday it seems, but I have a blender that works pretty well... so I don't know. And the camcorder... well how nice of one could I really get for $400? And would I ever remember to bring it, use it etc?
So what do you guys think - I need some wisdom ladies.... :)
(oh, and no old lady jokes ok- birthdays can be hard enough)
