The word "riviera" usually conjures images of exclusive European hideaways—posh coastal villages fronted by dazzling beaches, yachtlined harbors and open-air waterfront restaurants, where jet-setters sip champagne and nibble on caviar and lobster salad. Of course, the most famous of these is the French Riviera, dotted with glitzy and glamorous towns like St. Tropez, Cannes and Monaco's Monte Carlo, and the Italian Riviera, with magical places like Portofino, which has long attracted bold-faced names. And while those resorts come with over-the-top price tags, a new crop of more affordable European coastal resorts is emerging—places where the beaches are just as beautiful, the water just as sparkling and the restaurants just as divine. Here are five rockin' rivieras.
Croatia, war-torn in the 1990s, is once again on leisure travelers' radar. A stunningly beautiful country on the Adriatic Sea (across from Italy), Croatia has fabulous beaches, especially along the Dalmatian Coast. Its most popular city, Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, whose charming walled section dates from the 12th century, has lured romantics, including the Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw, for centuries.
Enjoy a sunset dinner in Croatia.
By Day: The city's premier strand, Banje Beach, located just outside the Old Town's stone walls, is always a hub of activity (there are lounge chairs for rent, a restaurant and watersports concessions). Within the town walls, you can walk the mile-long rampart for a bird's-eye view of terra-cotta-tiled roofs and Renaissance churches. Stroll along tiny twisting streets and stop to buy artwork and embroidery in small boutiques, tucked into refashioned stone buildings. Then stop at a café and enjoy a typical snack of paprenjack, a honeyflavored biscuit with walnuts. A short taxi ride will take you to Gruz harbor, the starting-off point for Dalmatian Coast cruises. Recently spotted: Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones island-hopping on a megayacht.
By Night: At night, Dubrovnik's Banje neighborhood becomes a clublike scene, with techno music and dancing right on the sand. You can also enjoy some great people-watching along the Stradun, the Old Town's main street. Hit jazz bars like the famous Trubadur, where you can catch live music and sip a local Ozujsko beer.
Where to Eat: Enjoy swordfish carpaccio and grilled sea bass with a chilled bottle of rosé on the terrace of Restaurant Nautika, overlooking an old fortress (dinner for two about $100). And due to Croatia's proximity to Italy, you can expect delicious pizza—try the gorgonzola and bacon version at Mea Culpa, which has a shaded sidewalk patio made of stone (dinner for two about $45).
Where to Stay: Argosy Hotel is located on the Babin Kuk peninsula, a ten-minute drive from the Old Town (buses and taxis are readily available). There's a pool on-site, and the shimmering sands of Cava beach are just minutes away (valamar.com; room rates start at about $200 a night and include breakfast). If you want to stay within the old city walls, consider the splurge-worthy Pucic Palace, an 18th-century palazzo that's been transformed into a 19-room luxury hotel, complete with Italian mosaic tiles, parquet floors, brocade curtains, Bulgari amenities and a private beach (thepucicpalace.com; room rates start at about $325 a night).

Turkey is one of the most picturesque and affordable beach destinations in Europe. And the seaside town of Bodrum, on the southwest coast of the Aegean Sea (an hour's flight from the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul), is the glittering gem of the region known as the Turquoise Coast. This whitewashed fishing village, set on a boat-dotted harbor, is ever popular with English and Germans and, increasingly, with Americans.
By Day: Sip Turkish wine while relaxing on Gumbet beach, just minutes from town, where you'll find plenty of charming cafés serving overflowing platters of fresh seafood. You can take a taxi to other beaches, such as the always bustling Ortakent and the quaint seaside town of Gumusluk. When you need a break from the beach, visit attractions like the 600- year-old, harborside St. Peter's Castle, with its museum collection of gold coins and jewelry salvaged from shipwrecks, and the ruins of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, which dates back to 50 B.C. and is one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World.
By Night: The town of Bodrum really comes alive at night. Start out bar-hopping along Cumhuriyet Caddesi, a.k.a. Bar Street, where you can have a few glasses of raki (an aniseflavored aperitif). Then follow the crowds to Halikarnas, a massive 80s-style disco that's open until 5 a.m.
Where to Eat: A great spot for lunch is La Jolla Bistro, which sports a menu of Mediterranean dishes, Californiastyle salads and delectable fresh sushi (lunch for two about $60). Sample traditional Turkish cuisine, including shish kebobs, tulum (a local cheese), lentil pilaf and stuffed eggplant at the family-owned Denizhan (dinner for two about $85).
Where to Stay: One of the town's most romantic hotels, the 96-room Marmara Bodrum, is a hilltop hideaway with spectacular views of the castle and harbor. It features several stylish restaurants and bars, as well as an outdoor pool, fitness center and a traditional Turkish spa bath, called hammam (themarmarahotels.com; room rates start at about $275 a night). Another spot with stellar harbor views is the Movenpick Bodrum, a chic whitewashed hideaway on Gumbet Bay. The hip hotel's guest rooms have a soothing white-andblue theme, and the poolside bar is the perfect perch to sip a raki and watch the sunset (movenpick-hotels.com; room rates start at about $260 a night).

Although this tiny sun-drenched island nation in the Mediterranean is remote, it still boasts fabulous beaches and exciting nightlife. In the historic capital of Valletta, you'll marvel at the architecture, treasure-filled museums and the island's Hollywood connection: Gladiator, with Russell Crowe, and Troy, with Brad Pitt, were both filmed here.
Valletta, Malta, in silhouette.
By Day: The beaches on the north coast are the island's best. There's Paradise Bay, a small, beautiful beach in a cove; Mellieha Bay, known for its terrific snorkeling; and Ghajn Tuffieha, one of the island's gorgeous expanses of golden sand edged with azure waters. You can also take a ferry excursion to the sleepy island of Gozo, home of the Azure Window, an amazing natural rock formation that towers over a crescentshaped beach. Back in Valletta, tour the gilded altars, marble columns and frescoes of St. John's Cathedral. In the Grandmaster's Palace, check out the centuries-old suits of armor, swords and shields once worn by the Knights of Malta, a religious military order that dates back to the Crusades.
By Night: St. Julians, a former fishing village that's now the center of Malta's nightlife, offers open-air cafés, seafood restaurants, cocktail lounges and trendy clubs, where you can dance until the wee hours and imbibe the local Cisk beer.
Where to Eat: Try pastizzi—bite-size puffed pastries filled with ricotta cheese—and other local specialties at Caffe Cordina, a Valletta institution on Republic Square, which dates back to 1837 (lunch for two about $25). For one of the most elegant meals on the island, book a table at Barracuda, located in a restored townhouse overlooking the bay in St. Julians. The seafood-rich menu includes dishes like octopus carpaccio, local sea urchin served over linguine and gnocchi with prawns (dinner for two about $100).
Where to Stay: Le Méridien St. Julians Hotel & Spa, on shimmering Balluta Bay, is a luxury resort with 276 rooms (ask for one with a balcony), several restaurants, including Villa Brasserie for modern French cuisine, and the luxurious Myoka Lotus Spa (starwoodhotels.com; room rates start at about $250 a night). Just outside Valletta's city walls is the colonial-style Hotel Phoenicia, overlooking Marsamxetto Harbour. Take a romantic dip in a heated outdoor pool that lies in the shadow of 16th-century bastions, or stroll through the fragrant gardens (phoeniciamalta.com; room rates start at about $290 a night).

A pretty Cypriot street.
Testing the waters at Amathus Beach Hotel.
This Mediterranean island is celebrated for its glorious weather, rich archeological sites, pristine coastline, wine-making traditions and fabulous cuisine. One of the island's most fashionable resort areas is Paphos, on the west coast. Legend has it that Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty, emerged from the surf here—so honeymooners should feel right at home!
By Day: Soak up some rays at Coral Bay, one of Paphos' most popular beaches, but there's also pretty Lara Bay, famous for its loggerhead turtle sanctuary, and the more secluded Latchi Beach. Be sure to visit the many impressive archeological sites, including the medieval Paphos Fort (climb to the top for great harbor views) and the House of Dionysius, Theseus and Aion, a restored Roman villa with stunning mosaic-tiled floors depicting scenes from Greek mythology. And don't miss the Tombs of the Kings, a series of underground tombs carved from solid rock that date from when the Egyptians inhabited the island in the 3rd century B.C. (Site excavations are ongoing.)
By Night: You'll find a wide range of late-night activities here, from waterfront cafés where you can sample a bottle of local wine (try the sweet dessert commandaria wine, said to be the world's oldest variety), to late-night discos. And due to the fact that Cyprus was once part of the British Commonwealth, there are still plenty of English-style pubs offering pints and friendly games of pool and darts.
Where to Eat: Romantic tavernas, like Mandra Tavern, feature Greek and Cypriot specialties like stuffed grape leaves, smoked pork, clay-oven-baked lamb and salted Haloumi cheese served family-style (dinner for two about $60). The Seagull Restaurant, a rustic familyowned spot with blue-and-white-striped tablecloths and blue-painted wooden beams, specializes in just-caught seafood. Try the grilled sea bass, the fried calamari and the swordfi sh with tomatoes, onions and peppers (dinner for two about $80).
Where to Stay: Try Almyra, a sleek 189-room beachfront hotel in the shadow of Paphos Fort, where you can enjoy a martini in the Helios Lounge and unwind with a couple's massage in the spa. Stay in one of the redesigned Kyma Suites and you'll have a private rooftop terrace with unbeatable views (thanoshotels.com; room rates start at about $270 a night and include breakfast). The elegant Amathus Beach Hotel, a mile outside of the bustling Paphos harbor, features 257 luxurious rooms, a lagoon-style swimming pool, tennis courts and a spa with a hydrotherapy center (amathus-hotels.com; room rates start at about $260 a night and include breakfast).

Though Portugal tends to get overshadowed by Spain, its larger Iberian neighbor, those in the know head to the Estoril Coast, 10 miles west of the capital, Lisbon, on the Atlantic Ocean. Once upon a time, the Portuguese royalty and aristocracy spent their summers here in lavish villas. Today, fashionable people from Lisbon still congregate on the golden beaches.
By Day: At Praia do Tamariz, the top see-and-be-seen beach, you can sip sparkling wine at terraced cafés along the promenade or rent lounge chairs with thatched umbrellas. In nearby Cascais, once a small fi shing village but now a trendy resort town, you'll fi nd more great beaches—Praia de Rainha, Praia de Ribeira and Carcavelos, which is quite popular with surfers. The Robert Trent Jones-designed Club de Golfe Quinta a Marinha is one of many spectacular golf courses in the area.
By Night: Check out the coast's sizzling nightlife at traditional fado houses, where you can catch performances of soulful traditional music. Or try your luck at the glamorous Estoril Casino, which has all manner of table games like roulette and craps; if that isn't your style, check out the concerts, dance clubs and art exhibitions.
Where to Eat: Near the casino, Costa do Estoril offers a hearty seafood menu—try the house specialty, the arroz de mariscos (rice with seafood, cooked and served in a large terra-cotta dish; dinner for two about $100.) At the seaside Beira Mar, in Cascais, feast on sopa de marsico (shellfi sh soup), shrimp omelettes and baked sea bass in a salt crust (dinner for two about $90).
Where to Stay: Everyone from the Rolling Stones to King Juan Carlos of Spain has stayed at the ultraglamorous 1930s-era Palacio Estoril Hotel & Golf. Wander amid the gorgeous landscaped gardens, take a dip in the outdoor swimming pool and have a glass of port wine in the elegant, woodpaneled bar that was a favorite haunt of spies during World War II. The hotel also boasts access to a dazzling whitesand beach and a private golf course (palacioestorilhotel.com; room rates start at about $300 a night and include breakfast). In Cascais, the oceanfront Pestana Cascais Hotel, a 116-room resort, stands just a few minutes from the historic village, and affords sweeping water views from the guest rooms. Hotel amenities include tennis courts, a large fitness center, numerous pools and nightly entertainment (pestana.com; room rates start at about $190 a night and include breakfast).

text: Hey guys, I went out to the pasture today and clocked some Speer 124gr +p 9mm out of the VERY short Kel-tec Pf9. I thought some of you would want to know. These rounds are quite a handfull out of the baby KT. Anyway, I shot 5 shot groups and averaged them to 1172fps. It was 83 degrees, slight breeze, and I was standing 5 feet from the chrono. Pretty impressive round if you ask me. Just for kicks, I ran some through my Hi-Power with a 4in barrel. They averaged 1261fps. Just food for thought! Kevin.

I love it for making cookies, but last night I used it to mash potatoes. (lazy me)
pasta dough!!
toll house cookies. we make a lot of toll house cookies in our family--and they are much easier to make with the kitchenaid.
cookies for me
love my kitchenaid mixer, it's in use all the time~this looks pretty awesome!
I make gingerbread cookies every year during the holidays. The recipe I use makes a ton of sticky thick dough, and there is NO way I could mix it without my trusty KitchenAid.
My kitchenaid dough hook comes in handy when I try to get my husband to actually DO something in the kitchen! He's learned to make pizza dough so it's ready when I get home. But if there weren't a dough hook involved, it would NEVER happen!
(and as an aside, I picked up the Williams-Sonoma mini-bowl that makes the 6quart work as a 4quart. It's remarkable.)
Love it for cookies and cakes ... but just about anything is made easier by a KitchenAid!
As a kid growing up, one of my FAVORITES was a german dish that my grandparents brought over from Germany called cheesebuttons...(I have no idea what the german name is!) By hand, these take nearly all day to make with a few people. With my mixer, I am able to make the dough, and then use the pasta roller attachment to roll it out in nice sheets for the pockets! It saves me hours!
Pumpkin Bread !!
Love my dough hook for making pizza dough and bread. Makes it easy to whip up dough without all the mess.
Isa Chandra Moskowitz's Chocolate Chip cookies!
Slightly sweetened whipped cream.
I love it for pizza dough.
I love my mixer for making stiff cookie doughs, but my KitchenAid becomes indispensable every single time I use for mixing bread dough.
However, if I won SideSwipe mixer blades, I would totally start using the KitchenAid for cake batters more often!
Whipping cream!! I love making fresh whipped cream. Banana bread, scones and cupcakes too... so much to make, so little time...
Beating egg whites and whipped cream, definitely. I hate doing all that whisking by hand.
Cinnamon bread! But really anything that requires prolonged mixing.
Cupcakes for me. I know they're easy enough to do by hand, but it's so satisfying.
Creaming butter. Before I got my KitchenAid, I used to attack big sticks of butter with a lightweight hand mixer, and it was a long, arduous job!
Sourdough Bread, any yeast bread really. I love my empire gray KitchenAid
brownies and cakes
What don't I use mine for?! I use it the most for cookies, but my favorite uses {biggest time/arm pain savers!} are making fresh whipped cream and homemade rolls with the dough hook.
I love it for whipping egg whites into meringues (favorite use: angel food cupcakes), whipping cream, and occasionally mashed potatoes (when I'm lazy). Ooh, and bread dough.
Oh I'd love to win one of these! I was just telling my brother (the only college student I know who saved up his money to buy himself a kitchenaid!) about them!
Recently I've been using my mixer for cookie dough mostly I'd say.. Although it gets a workout pretty often for whipped cream as well!
i love my kitchen aid - absolutely my favorite birthday gift from my husband ever! I've loved making fresh pasta with it, but also using it for every day baking... mostly gingerbread cake!
I'd love to win this for pastries!
I use my kitchen aid mixer the most or making cookies and quick breads. I think that this spatula mixer would come in handy. I would love to win this!
I've wanted to try this out ever since I saw it.
I think it would be great for cake batter.
I have to pick just one thing? Since the holiday season doesn't seem that far back, I'd have to say cookies because I made a ridonkulous amount of Christmas cookies this year. But I've been drooling over this blade since you posted it, and have been debating whether I should buy one.
I love to make brioche dough in my mixer for Mardi Gras king cakes!
Chocolate chip cookies!
Banana bread...I can already imagine how perfect this attachment will be!
I love using my mixer for bagel dough - they come out great! These would be fabulous for cookies though.
Definitely cookies.
mashed potatoes and whipped cream
Lots of cookies!
Cookies and potatoes... I haven't used it for bread yet. I'd love this - I saved your post about it previously so I could remember it and get myself one.
Pasta,pizza dough!
Cakes and cookies
I'd "whip it good" mashed potatoes. ;-) I don't have one of these and would love one to play with and add the different type of ingredients for cookies and cakes. Thanks and Happy 2008!!
cookies and cakes
Pizza dough, definitely. But also cookies.
cookies and muffins
lots and lots of cookies
Beating eggs for Fritattas (sp?) or cookies :)
Bread is always a winner with the kitchen aid and cookies are a weekly favorite especially chocolate chocolate chip, but during the holidays you can't beat it for home made candy like divinity.
cakes and bread dough
I wanna win!
I keep my mixer on the counter ready for anything. I love it. I use it for anything that requires mixing, except quick breads.
This is a fabulous product idea that I hadn't heard and it would certainly help me.
Thanks for the contest
Use the mixer for just about everything that needs mixing. Breads, cookies, pancakes....yadda, yadda, yadda. You can't beat it! (no pun intended)
Homemade marshmallows! 10 minutes on high speed=magical fluff.
I use my mixer for pretty much everything I don't want to stir by hand - cookies, cheesecakes, cakes, brownies. I just made marshmallows this weekend for the first time and these blades would have come in mighty handy.
Cookie dough or pizza dough.
Pasta sauces! My boyfriend is Italian and he loves the variety of sauces that I have learned to make. Also, I'm always up for experimenting with ingredients and the mixer makes that very easy.
I love it for everything, but one of the great features of this mixer is the pasta roller. Great for pasta, gum paste and fondant!
cakes, cookies, doughs... you name it!
oatmeal rolls
It has to be cookie dough, hands down. Cookie doughs can get so stiff to mix by any other method. And it's essential to scrape down the bowl when mixing them, making the Sideswipe blade a must-have!
Just great for mash potatoes and such. wonderful. thanks
Mixers are for cookies. And whipped cream.
I would gladly ditch my new year's diet to try out making some cookies.
Spicy Molasses cookies with rum glaze (cook's illustrated). This would help!
I love it for everything, but especially whipping up egg whites and whipping cream. I tried to do the latter by hand, once---it was a humbling experience...need to do some push-ups!
Brownies with big chuncks of chocolate- my little hand would break off without my mixer!
i really love this and need to win it!!
I use my mixer for making cookies more than anything else. It got an amazing workout this past Christmas!
Ummm...everything? It does make kneaded bread a breeze; I'm much less hesitant to make it now.
I love to use the meat grinder attachment of the Kithenaide to make sausages and meatloaf. How did I ever live without it?
chocolate chip cookie dough!
Cakes. Definitely cakes.
Meringues and whipped cream are my other uses, but cakes.
I love to use my mixer for any kind of baking (cookies in particular). It is great to be able walk away and get the next ingredient while the mixer keeps going.
I love it for making dough. It makes the process so much faster and cleaner!
C is for cookie, it's good enough for me…
Chocolate chip cookies!
my very first recipe with my new (used) kitchen aid: real simple's basil beer bread. pardon the pun, but i am totally hooked! i can't believe i had fresh bread within 50 minutes of throwing everything in the bowl. i was actually giddy about it!
I use my Kitchenaid to make Oreo Truffles!
cookies and whipped cream
my kitchen aid wore out and i always used it to make bread with it.
cookies, especially chocolate chip and oatmeal. Also great for doughs!
love cookies
Disaronno Amaretto cheesecake - pet peeve is having to stop and scrape the side down so this winged creature would be awesome!
chocolate chip pecan cookies!
Cookies! Especially Empanadas de dolce - the dough is tough and sticky! This is perfect.
Angel food cake.
I love making cookies, weel at leats make cookie dough if they get to the oven is another matter!
bread and cookies!
whipping cream! So much harder by hand...
bread and whipped cream.
Cake and bread!
grinding meat
making cookies
we make homemade pizzas on friday nights, so our orange kitchenaid is used most for dough, but our new years resolution (one of them, anyway) is to do more baking!
I use it most for cookies, but what it helps me with most is keeping my kitchen cleaner. Somehow, using the KA compels me to be neater with ingredients and measuring cups and the like.
Cakes and cookies
I'd love it for cupcakes, they are so tiny, they need to be throughly mixed!
Icing for cake decorating.
Divinity is my favorite.
My girlfriend would love this! She bakes all the time, and her birthday is coming up soon! I hope I win!
we use ours the most for making cookies
My recent favorite to make with our red KitchenAid mixer is homemade marshmallows. You really get to take advantage of the whole range of speed, beating the gelatin and sugar syrup into fluffy white delicious goodness. They were quite a hit during the holidays (with both mini, regular, and Red Hot glazed versions), and I'm planning on making a batch of Rice Krispy treats very soon. I am quite curious to know how this unique attachment would affect the marshmallow - the more air the better, right?
Pizza dough
I do a lot of baking, mainly bread dough, pastry, and cakes from scratch and I would love to win these blades. I've never seen them before and think its a really clever idea
Oooh perfect for a lighter than air Pan di Spagna (Italian sponge cake), maybe with a Limoncello curd filling and gently whipped cream coating the meltingly soft interior.
Cakes and their requisite buttercream.
Frankly, I think all the bread bakers should be disqualified, since scraping the bowl isn't much of an issue for them (yes, I am kidding. Or not...)
what you're really asking is why my thighs are so big, right? :P
pasta, pasta, pasta and cookies
This is the best product on the market I have used my daughters before but I don't have one of my own would love this.
I was so excited to get a stand mixer this Christmas - now I can make any cookies I see in the Martha Stewart mag!!
Totally cookies!
LOTS of bread !!!
Has to be cookies. Made like 20 pounds of them over the holidays with my mother and it would have taken sooo much longer without the Kitchenaid. Maybe even faster with this mixer. Heh.
gets used mostly for cookies, but it does beautiful bread dough too
cookies cakes anything sweet
I use the dough hook at least 3-4 times a week to make fabulous bread dough.
carrot cake!
We love to make hugh batches of cookie dough. We then freeze a bunch of the dough for easy cookies later on. Great giveaway. Thanks for offering it.
my kitchen aid helps me most because my husband loves to use it - it looks so cool that he just can't help take over whatever i start !!!
i make a fare amount of pizza dough, so i use the dough hook alot. we could use these also.
Anything sweet!!
Italian meringue.....not sure how that was *ever* produced before the electric mixer....
Egg whites. Nothing like a mid-week soufflé made possible by the Kitchen Aid.
That, and bread dough.
I've been using mine mostly for cookies lately, but I've also made a killer sweet potato casserole with the kitchen-aid.
I have had seven children. Do I use my KitchenAid?!?!?! I can't imagine my life without it. I make so many things, but my very favorite thing of all is:
Chocolate Chip Cookies!! *And I have an awesome recipe too*
Alton Brown's chewy cookies, with white chocolate chips and dried cranberries. I send them to my girlfriend across the country.
I eat a few, too.
Cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies cookies!!! :D
the smoothest cheesecake ever!
...the fattiest too. coincidentally, i am sure.
Pizza dough all the way
how perfect!
My mom's sugar cookies
Seriously, egg whites!
Pizza dough! This would be great!
Chocolate chip walnut banana bread
Garlic mashed potatoes. Yummmmmm.
cake batter
Cookie central!
Christmas cookies!!!!!
I love baking cookies, muffins, breads, biscotti, and the occasional cake. My Kitchenaid stays pretty busy, and I would love to try the sideswipe blades.
I make cookies for my husbands lunch at work, he requests them and my older kids also stop over and grab some for their snacks too
chocolate chip cookies
LOVE my stand mixer!!!
I already own this wonderful blade. All the revies are TRUE then some. If I were to win two of my friends would get nice gifts
I don't have a stand mixer YET. My birthday is coming up and I've been dropping heavy hints.
YEAST BREAD. Pretty much the only thing I use my KitchenAid for, but it was worth every penny. Although the mixer does have a habit of making a run for the counter edge with certain types of dough.
Pasta. A couple of eggs, a couple cups of semolina flour and a little oil. Set it on the lowest speed and it makes the perfect pasta.
Of course I blew out the motor on my first kitchen aid making pasta, so learn from my mistake and stay on the lowest setting.
Cookies! One day I might even be brave enough to try bread.
Cupcakes! From vegan cupcakes take over the world :)
I love my pasta attachment to make home made pasta (linguini). The Side Swipe Spatula blades would be so handy. They would also help when whipping up cream for toppings and take away the temptation of my reaching into the bowl and swiping the sides with my finger.....helpful for my diet....
Cookies!! At Christmas I make dozens of different kinds of cookies!!
As most of the above:
baking experiments, mostly cupcakes though! i've been coveting one of those sideswipe blades since you first wrote about them!
I love my kitchenaid and make lots of Christmas cookies, brownies, etc........
cookies, cookies, cookies. especially for the holidays
We made chocolate shortbread today.
I have two young girls and we make homemade yeast doughnuts at least once a month!
I just got my mixer (aka "mojo mixin'") and so it's definitely increased the amount of cookies being baked in my house
OH!!!!! i Have been coveting this for the past few months!
My favorite use for my kitchenaid is cakes! I love to make cakes for my family and special occastions.
Love this thing to make bread dough, cookie dough...anything doughy!
I deserve cookies
"My Little Angel Of Love"
I gave life to a precious angel just a few short days ago
I love her more than life itself but I loved her enough to let her go
For two short days I held her close in a warm loving embrace
Those beautiful moments in which we bonded my mind will never erase
God gave me a Christian couple that can take care of her every need
But my eyes will always be streaked with tears; my heart will forever bleed
If I could have just one wish our paths will cross again
But I will hold her close in my heart and love her in silence until then
I know I did the right thing. I'm at peace with the Lord above
And I know He will always be watching over "My Little Angel Of Love"
My Kitchen Aide would love this!
I use it mostly for cakes!
I like it for thicker cookie doughs.
cookies, cookies, and more cookies!!
I must admit ... I am entering this contest on behalf of a friend. :) I don't have a KitchenAid, but she does and she loves cooking for all of her friends. She makes cookies, bread, cakes, and everything else you can imagine. She isn't making much at the moment, though, because she is VERY pregnant and will be giving birth in about one week! What better way to welcome her back into the kitchen than with a great gift like this? I know she'd love it. :D
I use my mixer for Italian Cookies and Whole Wheat Pasta the most. Plus everything and anything else I mix. I can't imagine not having it, I've become spoiled.
I don't have a mixer, but my sister does and she makes the most fabulous sour cream pound cakes that are especially yummy right out of the oven. If I won I would give her the spatula mixer thingy.
I have two favorites when it comes to using my mixer: Homemade Mashed Potatoes (heaven on Earth!), and 7-Minute Frosting (that wonderful, old fashioned, fluffy, non-fat, marshmallow-like stuff!)
I'd love to try the SideSwipe Mixer Blades--thanks for the offer!
Birthday Cakes!
Definetely chocolate chip cookies with walnuts...mmm
Cookie Dough..... want to show guys I date I can cook LOL
my cookies
I love to make pumpkin bread- this would help get it ALL out of the mixer and into the bread pan.
omg i have been waiting on this to come out!! I love to make cookies and cupcakes!! and i love my kitchenaid!
We make our masa for tamales in our kitchaid. Let's see if the sideswipe can handle that!
I just got my mixer for xmas this year. So far I've used it to make oatmeal raisin cookies and some banana bread. They both turned out fabulous. I can't wait to use it to make ice cream and pasta dough!
totally ice cream
i love it for making things to send to the troops
This one is too fun. I made a "date" with my 3 year old grandson to spend the day. We went to the park and fed the ducks. Played on the playground. Did our "homework"..two pages in the sticker book. And made cookies..one of those Betty Crocker mixes..used my Kitchen Aide. Sean got to turn on, off, I scraped down. He did the scooping and the squishing down. They were delicious, of course! And he made them, "All by myself!" Did I mention, he put sprinkles..lots of them on each cookie. I got GRANDMA POINTS for this day.
I love making ice cream but for the side swipe, I might use it to whip up some icing or meringue -- just to see it in swipey glory.
Cookies, of course!
creamy mashed potatoes
I bought my Kitchenaid mixer after becoming frustrated trying to make a double batch of Chocolate Coma cookies with my old Sunbeam. So cookie dough is my answer, but I love it for nearly everything!
I love to make bread with my KitchenAid, but really I use it for almost everything
I use mine to make cookies, especially around the holidays. Frankly, I can't even imagine mixing those tough cookie doughs without one.
yum, angel food cake. I'd have to give the sideswiper to mum, as I have a lift-bowl model of KitchenAid- think the'd love it though
I cook a lot and use my mixer even more. I love making pizza dough with mine. This attachment would be AWESOME to have. I have wanted something like this for quite some time!
Wow...now my mixer won't be attacking my spatula when I try to sneak it in to scrape the bowl!!
I seem to end up baking chocolate chip cookies almost weekly. I probably wouldn't make them that often without a KitchenAid.
Making Christmas cookies is my favorite mixer use,
It's best for homemade bread.
I use my mixer for everything, but probably most often to make cookie dough. Although I have been meaning to start baking bread again...
Mixer is used most for mashed potatoes. Yum!
These look so cool! I have read about them and would love to try them out.
I love my KitchenAid and my KitchenAid would love it if I'd stop jamming a spatula into the bowl while it's running.
I love the dough hook attachment. It make bread baking so much easier.
My favorite use for my Kitchen Aid is definitely for making bread. Love that dough hook!
I really want one of these SideSwipes for whipping cream and egg whites. It would be great for cakes too.
the mixing blade would help most with my oatmeal cookie dough. I always have to incorporate the extra oats lefyt at the bottom. I get the most use out of my mixer making whipped cream. The cream fat bubbles don't get broken like some mixers so the cream does not separate the next day in the fridge
I like to use my KitchenAid for cupcake batter and frosting, plus whites for meringue and pizza dough. Yum!
My grandmothers coconut cake recipe!
Oh wow I would love this, I make tons of cookie dough!
My Christmas Stollen reciepe...it's a family tradition!
Love to bake cake for my family.
It's great for bread and pizza dough, but I use it for many other things.
My favorite use of my kitchen aid is baking with my 4 year old niece.
making marshmallows!
I use mine for cookie dough.
I love the juicer attachment. I buy a huge bag of limes, juice them, put them in an ice cube tray in the freezer and voila...instant margaritas and majito ingredients!
My favorite use for my mixer is chess bars. It's one of my favorite treats, and it's not hard to make. The only thing is, it requires a strong mixer. I could use a new one!
Pizza dough, pasta, breads and yummy variations of mashed potatoes.
I'd love to give it a try and let you know how it works.
my favorite use:anything-the fact the mixer will spin and mix without me holding it is a HUGE kitchen aid!
I love to make biscotti and cookies with my mixer.
I love my KitchenAid! A few years ago, I had to cut back on baking anything with a stiff dough because of my arthritis. Then hubbie brought home the KithenAid and I'm back in business making Ignatius Delights, HootieTooties and Ginger Dreams. If I didn't have to scrape down the bowl, mixing would be even easier. Ahhh, the delights of modern technology!
Honestly, my favorite thing to make with my KA mixer is real whipped cream - I would never make it without that mixer!
I love to make cheesecake with my mixer, so much easier. also bread with the dough hook.
We love Schlag(sp?) and Meringues (also sp?)! mmmmmm!
It always impresses friends when I whip up some fresh Whipped Cream!
Eggnog, it's all homemade and it's amazing!
This would be perfect for cookie dough.
I use mine for baking mostly, cookies, cakes and frosting. this attachment is amazing I would use it all the time!
Finally a reason for me to purchase the mixer (ROFL)
Oooh, that's fabulous, I want one!
My favorite thing to make in my KitchenAid stand mixer is fluffy, fluffy egg whites for blue cheese or crab souffle.
The thing I make most often, though, is whipped cream...
It's indispensable for breadmaking, too.
I love my mixer!
I just got my Kitchen Aid mixer and have been making tons of cookies and pound cake! This would be perfect!
I have had my Kitchen Aid since 1973-we have used it for everything-from icing for decorated cakes (beating frosting for an hour at a time) to super-heavy cookie dough. It just keeps on chugging along. I would love these blades!
Wow! Professsional chef quality!
Pizza dough is what I use my mixer most for, but I also love using it for meatloaf and burger mixtures if I don't feel like getting my hands all meaty.
I love to use my Kitchen Aid for mixing my meatballs! Saves me the cold,sticky hands!!!
Mmmm, Butter. Throw in cream, turn on, do a little butter dance around the kitchen, remove butter. And treat yourself to an extra jig, because you also get buttermilk! Mmmm, Pea soup with buttermilk. Mmmm, leek soup with buttermilk. But stop dancing! Get back to the butter. Add salt, honey, basil, or raspberries. Mmmm. Or just put a warm piece of yeast bread underneath a thick pad of fresh butter. Resume dancing.
My family has been making 8-10 kinds of cookies, quadruple batches, for years, the day after Thanksgiving. We give them out as gifts. This would help a lot!
I would love this for cakes and cookies!
Cookies, lots of cookies would be fun
cookies. loads of cookies. with chocolate chips :)
oh Handy!
This tool seems particularly suited for batters and would be great for cheesecake but my favorite thing to use my KA for is stiff cookie batters. They just come together fast and nearly effortlessly with the mixer.
Ice Cream!
I just bought a copy of "The Perfect Scoop" and have been trying out the various recipes from that - avocado, green tea, chocolate guinness, etc... All Yummy!
Of course, what inspired me to buy my mixer was when I used a friends to make bundt cake and was amazed at how easy it was!
I love making pastry - it's so quick and easy! I have also started mincing my own meat.
Favorite Mixer Use? Hearing my newlywed Husband tell me how much "our" mixer (the one I've embraced for seven years) rocks as he makes fresh bread.
i love that you can add all your ingredients and walk away while it's mixing, this mixer is the greatest thing since bread & butter :)
I love the mixer when my children want to make cookies. A stand mixer makes it easy to clean-up their trail of destruction.
Ohh- I can make tons of cookies w/ this!
birthday cake!!
Bread, veggie mashes, and meatloaf. I've got a wonky arm, so anything that requires more than two stirs or smushes finds its way into the mixer bowl.
Love to make sour dough bread
Oh Wow what a great addition to my mixer !! This would be great for cookies!!
I use my kitchen aid mixer the for making cookies and quick breads.
Well, its all about cookies and cakes for me...my favorites. I'd love to try this out and write a review for you, here's hoping!! Thanks...
I have had a KitchenAid for several years and have always had a problem of the bottom of the bowl not getting mixed. This new attachement will be GREAT!!
I use my mix master daily! I love it for cookies and breads, mashed potatoes, brownies, you name it!!!
Chocolate chip cookies!
We love whipped potatoes made with the mixer.
It got tons of use recently for my scratch carrot cake rolls. I converted my pumpkin roll recipe into a carrot cake roll! In doing so I had to mix up batches and batches of cake batter and then batches and batches of cream cheese frosting to coat them in. This scraper would have come in handy...let me tell you!
this would be a great addition to my mixer, which makes lots of banana bread
excellent help with my meatloaf
Any sticky dough, cake mix will be better mixed with my trusty Kitchen Aid mixer. (This was the best present I've received.)
Brownies - my favorite!
oatmeal raisin cookies!
I love making marshmallows with my KitchenAid mixer! They have to be beaten for several minutes at high speed, and it is a lot of fun to watch the gooey marshmallow turning white and ballooning in volume. I can get the pan prepared for the mixture while the KitchenAid does all the work.
For biscotti and cookies, it's perfect!
while we bake a lot of cookies from scratch (especially when grandma is in town :P), my favorite use for the mixer is for mashed potatoes because we eat them all the time!
EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!! What can't you make with it? I just got mine for Christmas and it's definitely the gift that "keeps on giving". I'll have it forever!
This will make scraping the bowl a think of the past. What a wonderful idea.
Mostly cookies, but also cakes and pasta dough!
I love it for everything, but if I have to pick just one thing it would be making frosting like my mom and I HATE taking the time to scrape the bowl down.
It really makes sticky breads like brioche a breeze.
Mama Ciarcio's tomato spinach pizza dough!
Oh my gosh I need that!!!!
I love making cake :)
Bread every week.
This would be a fabulous addition to my Kitchen Aid!! Cookies and bread dough are my Fav's!!
Cakes and awesome meringue buttercream frosting. And pizza dough, oh yeah, pizza dough.
Birthday Cakes!
candy ~
I love using my mixer to make cakes...and it shows!
masa dough for tamales!
Key Lime Pie.
mmm... pie.
Wow! I didn't know this product exsisted! What a great idea! Thanks for the giveaway :)
Gingerbread dough. A total pain without the mixer.
I use my Kitchenaid for all kinds of cakes and cookies, but it does a great job on a thick shortbread dough.
We started using the grater attachment on our kitchenaid to grate cold butter to make the BEST pie crust without a cuisinart. We just grate the butter into the other ingredients. Makes perfect "pea sized" butter specks in the dough.
The dough for cinnamon rolls. Anytime I don't have to knead is a good time :)
Oh Gosh, so hard to say. Definately any time I need to whip up egg whites or heavy cream. My kitchenaid makes it easy and I don't get a spray of foam all over my kitchen.
Mine help me with pizza dough every Friday! This new mixer blade would be perfect for the times when I'm mixing something else and, like yousaid, there is a bunch of stuff in the bottom that didn't get mixed in!
I love new gadgets
How have I never seen this before?! Definitely useful for the old pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!
My husband wanted it for brownies and cookies---he's such a chocolate junkie!
oh, this would be absolutely wonderful!
Just made upcakes last night!
I love a good upcake.
For me, pasta dough and whipped cream are the most frequent usages. And mashed potatoes. Oh, I love my kitchen-aid.
Oh I make Mashed potatoes in mine and we LOVE it! These would be fantastic
I like to use mine for grinding meat with the FGA... meatballs are never going to be the same.
My mixer is in almost constant use... I'm an avid baker, and I also use it for ice cream with the ice cream bowl attachment!
Egg whites, Cakes, cookies, whip cream...yumm
cheesecake and biscotti
this is cool...great companion for my new mixer..
My husband makes cakes as a hobby, so delicious cake, for sure!
these machines are great for making bread at home.
I agree with you - my dough hook is practically a member of the family.
Brownies, brownies, brownies!!
I love to make cookies with my mixer - add all the ingreditents and go!
cookies for sure!
Scandanavian Almond Bread! Yummmooo!
God I love my KitchenAid. I've been on a big time bread kick, thanks to the dough hook.
I love it for making cakes. My kitchenAid is my all time favorite thing and this new attachment looks great.
I love to make cookies.
I would be lost without my mixer when it comes time to making my Christmas cookies.
I love making cookies and other baked goods.
I love baking cakes.
Cookies, brownies and anything else sweet!
Whip cream - so much easier in a kitchen aid or cakes. Anything where you have to beat in a lot of air!
making homemade icing for cakes
I make cookie dough in a snap with my mixer.
for mixing cake and cookie batter!
I make all the cakes for birthdays on both sides of the family so I could use this
for baked items and whipping jello
I'm the chocolate chip cookie queen - that's what I'm be making with this!
Most of the time I use my Kitchen Aid to make Buttercream icing, after making cake mixes, of course! The icing is THE reason I bought it.

bread, pizza dough egg whites. I love my mixer I use it almost everyday!
My wife loves it for everything.
Today it is Biscotti as we made 4 kinds last night and my arm would have fallen off if I had had to mix by hand or use anything but my baby. Another day it would be something else- meatloaf so my hands don't get all gross, breads, meringues, anything and everything I LOVE MY KITCHEN AID MIXER!!!
I love using my mixer to make banana bread. I make several loaves at once and freeze part of them.
I love my KitchenAid best for it's wonderful hard working dough hook but a close second would be the way I can whip cream and the speedy mix up of a delicious fat free angel food cake!
These beaters look great! The only gripe I have ever had about this mixer is the fact that I have to scrape the sides a lot. These really look like they would fix that problem!
I have never had something this nice... I suppose I would make cookie dough first because there are 4 kids who would vote for that I am sure.
Definitely cookies - I'm making Dorie Greenspan's 'World Peace Cookies' tomorrow!
cookie dough, for sure
This has me dreaming of toll house cookies, and whipped cream, and so much more. Thanks for a great contest.

I make everything with my Kitchenaid mixer - bread dough, cookies, even meatloaf. I LOVE it
Cookies. This looks like the greatest invention in a long time.
I love my Kitchenaid mixer because it enables my eight year old son and I to make cookies quickly and simply together. He knows how to put the attachments on, lock the bowl to the bottom, put down the arm and lock it into place.
pistachio cake
dough for my homemade pizza
Maybe i will actually bake if i get this

I would love to make my moms biscuits with this!!!

I sure could use these. WOW!
I use mine to make cookies...lots of cookies!

I love to make bread and this would be wonderful for that!
This mixer has taken the "work" out of making yeast doughs. It's my favorite appliance/utensil in the kitchen.
Anything gooey and sticky that needs a lot of mixing!
Hands down, double batches of chocolate chip cookies or banana nut bread. Makes it so easy. This little gadget would be great for getting the sides mixed in better.
I use my KitchenAid mixer for everything.But, my favorite use is for making my Dad's old recipe for English Pork Pies. The old fashioned way took hours - the mixing of the pork filling, the hot water pastry, and the yummy gelatin mixture. Dad spent all day in the kitchen. I now can make a delicious pork pie in about 45 minutes. Unfortunately the pie doesn't last for more than 10 minutes! Time to make another one.
In our house, we use it mostly to make yummy cookies!
Cookie dough. Saves my arm from soreness!
Whole wheat pizza dough!
Homemade yeast rolls by far, not to mention being able to multi-task while baking with this must-have kitchen appliance.
I am a newlywed and one who has never baked/cooked before. I received the KitchenAid stand mixer for our wedding...this piece would be a great addition and would help me to learn a lot of new recipes...Looking forward to it!
I make all sorts of bar cookies in mine, because my hubby has a sweet tooth.
It helps me stir cookies.
I really don't need a big bicep from trying to make cookies. The mixer is a blessing, but it still takes muscle to keep those sides scraped down. I would love to try this out! Thanks for the chance to win!
I bought my kitchen aid mixer when I started taking a cake decorating class. I found that I now use it for everthing, but my favorite use is homemade mashed potatoes!
My hubbies famous Chocolate chip cookies
Swedish pancakes may have posted already this looks familiar
Homemade pizza dough
i only just recently got a kitchenaid mixer for christmas. and i love making cookies and cupcakes. i'm so excited to get the other attachments too. especially the pasta one.
Meringue for my lemon meringue pie!
dough! D'oh!
I use my mixer for tons of things but I would have to say the most often use is for cookies. I am the baker of the family (both mine and my husbands) so I use my mixer for everything from cookie dough and frosting to bread batter and dough.
My favorite mixer use is cakes.
This is such a great idea for an amazing mixer!! I use it ever day, as I am a personal chef/baker!
The best thing I use my KitchenAid for? Mashed Potatoes, they come out very smooth and creamy based on the recipe printed in the recipes section of the manual. The best part is if I need to add garlic or chives, they're mixed in quite well by the mixer.
Pizza dough. My husband is working on perfecting his whole wheat pizza, so we have pizza most Saturdays. Love our dough hook!
I am a volunteer baker and make a lot of cookies for senior center residents. The seniors really appreciate fresh homemade cookies that are big and all the same size.
Making the cookie dough is the easy compared to getting all the cookies to be the same side and shape.
The SideSwipe Paddle Spatula would really help me speed up the dough mixing process.
This would be great. I love to bake. It would go to a great home.
I love to use my Kitchen Aid mixer to make cupcakes (and frosting) for my kids' classmates, our families, neighbors, and friends!!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Whatever you do, don't go looking to buy and say "my mats + tip." The buyer saying he's going to tip without specifying how much just sounds like a douchebag who's going to drop 1g in the window at the end. If you actually do plan on giving a decent tip, just say the amount ahead of time. I guarantee you'll get faster service that way.
Yep, I always ignore these people when I see them looking for patterns I know (unless it's an obviously new player looking for something for a quest, i'm a little softer then). When I'm looking for something, I always offer a set amount, and it's high enough to get immediate replies, cause i don't want to waste my time in trade any longer than i have to.
BubblePriest said...
I was looking for a specific pattern one day and was saying "LF BS w/ X Pattern will tip".
Someone whispered me "How much will you tip?" and I said 50g. He didn't respond.
Someone else whispered me and said "I have the pattern." So I got it made, and tipped him 100g. Why? Because he seemed nice. And I like giving nice people incentives to keep playing WoW. The first guy might have been willing to do it for 100g, and I might have saved myself 10 minutes of looking. But I felt a lot better about giving the second guy my money.
When I don't state the tip I'm willing to pay, it's because the amount is dependent on the crafter. I usually have a range I'll tip within, but the actual amount will depend on my experience.

These gloves are great at protecting your hands from the wind chill. I love them because my hands get super warm. The downside, the stiching along the thumb riped on the first day. :(

Comics and drawings by Jim Lockey
So, often when I try to do something creative I feel like someone is watching and judging me. Telling me I'm no good.
It sort of feels like this.

Get a Head Start on Spring Cleaning with the Dyson DC44 Animal Cordless Vacuum
Dyson provided me with the DC44 unit for this review. Cleaning isn't a subject that I particularly enjoy talking about or a chore I enjoy doing. But thanks to some incredible tools, I don't mind cleaning. Dyson has been a long-time favorite of mine and it's one of the few brands I've never had a bad experience with. The Dyson Air Multiplyer Fan is a still a favorite and there's no way I'd give up my DC 41 Animal Complete. That doesn't mean I … [Read more...]
Ditch & Switch Challenge! Dish Cloths or Bounty DuraTowel?
There's one thing I really must confess to hating. Germs. I'm the kind of person that washes her hands dozens of times a day, won't touch a public railing, disinfects the shopping cart handle, has a purse full of mini anti-bacterial cleansers and if I even have the slightest notion that someone used my tooth brush, it goes straight in the garbage. And it's not just my hands I want to be kept germ-free, it's my whole house, especially my … [Read more...]
Make Holiday Baking Messes Nothing but a Memory with EASY-OFF® Fume Free Oven Cleaner
There are a lot of things I love about the winter holidays ... the family time, the presents and especially the food. Along with those comes the not-so-fun things about the holidays. There's the bickering, the crowded shopping and worst of all, the kitchen messes. When it's all said and done, I think I spend more time cleaning up food messes in the kitchen than I do actually cooking. My least favorite chore is cleaning the oven. I never fail to … [Read more...]
3 Ways to Tackle Lots of Laundry with ARM & HAMMER
In a house with two adults, three kids and three cats, we are not strangers to massive piles of laundry. At any given time, we probably have at least 4 baskets full of it. I wash, I dry, I fold, I hang and repeat ... indefinitely. Fortunately, it's not a chore I hate. The said can't be same for doing the dishes or scrubbing toilets. However, there are a few tools at my disposal that make the task a little bit easier. I recently switched out my … [Read more...]

Makeover Monday: Eat Your Way Gorgeous
Written on October 4, 2010 at 9:43 am , by Fitness Magazine
It's no secret that eating a healthy, balanced diet helps your waistline, but did you know it can also affect your appearance? A healthy diet, full of vitamins and minerals, can help combat aging, make your skin glow and even help your hair grow stronger.
Wrinkles: Retinoids are a form of vitamin C, which is a known wrinkle reducer. They work by helping your body naturally produce more collagen, and more collagen means less wrinkles. A few foods high in vitamin C are strawberries, oranges and red peppers.
Glowing Skin: If you check the label of skin vitamins, the main ingredient will always be vitamin E, and for good reason. Vitamin E, an antioxidant, and has been shown to help combat acne, level skin tone and even fight against cellulite. The best sources for vitamin E are avocados and sunflower seeds.
Healthy Hair: Omega-3 fatty acids are a high-quality source of protein packed with vitamin B-12 and iron. A diet deficient in omega-3 can lead to a dry scalp, making hair dull and lifeless. Hair is also made of protein, which makes getting enough protein in your diet necessary for strong hair. Salmon is great source of omega-3 fats—and for all you vegetarians out there extra virgin olive oil is packed with it, too.

Favorite Find Friday: Neutrogena Deep Clean Sport
Written on October 1, 2010 at 8:58 am , by Fitness Magazine
From makeup remover to acne wash, it takes a small army of cleansers to freshen my face before bed. For years, I've been searching for a face wash that can do it all while still protecting my sensitive skin. After hearing Features Assistant Editor Sarah D'Angelo rave about Neutrogena Deep Clean Sport Facial Cleanser ($6.99, drugstores), I decided to give it a shot. The tingling wash took off grime and makeup, but wasn't harsh. Plus, it contains salicylic acid to keep blemishes at bay, and the leak-proof packaging is perfect for my gym bag. So long, three-step cleansing routine!

The other day I asked my husband to help me in my weekend house-tidying efforts by cleaning the toilet. Sure, he said, no problem. Later, while I was chipping toothpaste off the sink, I glanced over at what I'd hoped would be a sparkling clean, pee-free appliance, and saw how he'd tackled the project -- by haphazardly spraying cleaning solution around the inside of the bowl, swabbing here and there with toilet paper, and leaving giant unflushed, blue-tinged pile of sodden TP floating in the water.
My husband's definition of "clean" is very different from mine, and I can live with that. I do live with that, after all, and have -- happily, I swear -- for almost 13 years. But it got me thinking about how I hope to teach my sons to know how to clean a damn toilet ... along with a few other basic skills.
It's not that I expect my kids to be neat freaks or even that I necessarily expect them to clean without being reminded. They're boys, and if they're anything like their father, they'll be perfectly happy to wallow in their own filth. But here's the thing: I want them to be able to identify what a dirty toilet looks like, because it's the inability to do so that's really annoying to live with. It sucks being the only person in my household who has the astounding superpower of being able to see that a toilet has crossed the line from "iffy" to "BIOHAZARD ZONE, CODE RED, USE EXTREME CAUTION," but it's even more maddening to realize that I'm the only one who knows how to deal with the situation. I mean, come on. Use the toilet brush. Check the base for dried pee! Is the toilet made of yellow ceramic? NO IT IS NOT AND THAT IS YOUR FIRST CLUE. And jesus, lift the seat -- yeah, that's called EVIDENCE OF BAD AIM, and you could continue pretend it's not there until the whole thing eventually mutates from various chemical deposit layers and becomes sentient and tears itself from the linoleum floor in order to start lurching around devouring the housepets, or you could GET OUT THE 409.
Whew. I ... have Toilet Feelings, it seems.
Anyway, along with the ability to visually acknowledge whether something is dirty or clean, I'd like them to be competent in the kitchen. My husband never learned this: he can make pancakes, PB&Js, and boxed macaroni and cheese. Beyond that, there'd better be a pizza delivery number handy. (During his college years, he'd make big pots of Hamburger Helper and eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner until it was time to cook up a new batch. I realize we all ate some gross stuff at that age [Top Ramen with crushed Saltines was a staple of mine], but I'm not exaggerating: he ate Hamburger Helper for like two straight years.) I'm going to teach my kids the basics, and when it's time for them to move out on their own, they will by-god know how to scramble eggs and boil pasta even if they do choose to live on something from a box.
Finally, I would like to teach my sons the delicate, womanly art of finding things. I have a bad feeling I already missed the boat, since they're prone to rushing back and forth every single school morning bellowing about how they can't find their coats, their coats are GONE, did someone STEAL ALL OUR COATS, and when I ask if they looked on the coathooks and they're all, oh right. My husband can gaze directly into a cupboard with a jar of Jif staring him right in the face -- like, if it was any closer it would be resting directly on his forehead -- and ask with total sincerity if we're out of peanut butter, so I'm not terribly surprised to see this trait has been passed down to his loin-fruits, but I'm hopeful I can somehow overpower nature with nurture on this one. Maybe I could make a helpful flow chart:
In all seriousness, there are so many wonderful things my husband will teach our boys. How to be hardworking, respectful, loving, and loyal. How to build fires, pop wheelies, and mend nearly anything that's in need of fixing. How to value laughter and never stop dreaming.
Still, it's not too much to hope they also grow up to care just a teeny, tiny bit about their toilets, right?
What sorts of things are you hoping to teach your kids that your partner -- or you! -- isn't so good at?

My husband was 40 when we got married, and had been a bachelor living alone since college. Thankfully, he was a pretty neat housekeeper. He had to do everything on his own for so many years that he had to learn. He isn't the best cook, but if I couldn't cook for a while, we wouldn't starve or go broke eating out. He's not perfect, but he's close enough for me! :)
To Carly - thats one of my problems, but mine stems to when I was akid and my parents always took naps in the living room, the couch or recliner. So closing a cabinet door, too loudly meant accidently waking them up and getting yelled at or worse(if you were in shoe throwing range). Its aproblem both my sister and myself still have to work on!
hoping to teach my kids to put laundry in the hamper, instead of leaving it where they take it off, like my husband does.....and if missing something, to look for it before coming to me. Mu hubby is always misplacing things, and blaming it on me-but he always find things-where HE left them. oh, and to pick up after themselves- hubby is always leaving knives out, and open containers of things (I seriously feel like a maid sometimes)

Training Camp…A Day At Iceworks
Tony Stabile | Sep 19, 2010 | Comments 8
As I was on my way to cover my first training camp this morning, I tried to think about how the day would go and what I should expect. Watch some hockey, take some notes, get some quotes. Well, all three were true, but a little differently than I thought.
First of all, when the first non media person I see and say hello to is Garth Snow, I knew I was in different territory. After I managed not to screw that up, I figured my day was off to the right start. After talking to 4 players, the head coach, being introduced to the General Manager, and was even referred to as brother by birthday boy Rick DiPietro, I have officially been christened into the Islanders Blog Box. It was not all smooth, (as I asked my first dumb question…though it wasn't the end of the world), I think I'll be able to handle this gig and give a fresh perspective and a different look inside the New York Islanders.
Now….off to my notes…
Group 2 lead off this morning as goaltending coach Sudsie Maharaj had Mikko Koskinen and Dwayne Roloson on the ice early warming up. Doug Weight was the first player on the ice and Jon Sim worked his way to the bench and was chirping at Roloson from the bench.
I'll say it again, Koskinen is huge. You really can't appreciate his size until he drops to his knees and his shoulders are almost cross bar height.
The rest of the group comes out and begins stretching. Some players in group are Kyle Okposo, Rob Schremp, Matt Moulson (who are on a line together), Calvin deHaan, Radek Martinek, Milan Jurcina, Andrew MacDonald, Jack Hillen, Doug Weight and Jeremy Yablonski.
Milan Jurcina is tremendous…(and I mean wide and tall….)
The player I was most surprised by was Doug Weight. I shouldn't have been, but after the player I saw on the ice last season, I didn't expect to see the player I saw this morning. Weight was flying and still has his trademark soft hands. It would be foolish of any fan to discount his effect on this team. Weight will be a player on this team.
Calvin deHaan, is not small. Also, he oozes confidence, he doesn't look out of place at all.
Robin Figren
limps walks by, says foot is getting better.
Defense breaks away with Coach Dean Chenoweth as Scott Gordon takes the forwards by the benches.
The Schremp/Moulson/Okposo is a very intriguing line. They look like they are clicking so far.
Yablonski is also a big dude.
Rookie Kirill Kabanov is here (on time apparently) and says good morning to Garth Snow (who was sitting to my right about 5 rows up). I get a smile.
Martinek shows his moves to rookie David Ullstrom, completely shut him down on a one on one drill.
On a side note, the coaching staff is wearing these royal blue track suits (similar to the ones from the early 80's) love em.
As this is a sore point with me, to all of the "media", you know, the ones who aren't here covering the team, that say owner Charles Wang has distanced himself from this team….well he's here this morning (at 10 am) with his son. He immediately takes a seat next to Garth Snow and makes small talk.
Rick DiPietro (who is in the next group) emerges from the locker room with a goal stick for a fan who I later learned won a signed jersey from his last season and was invited to camp today. He tells her grab the guys as they walk by and have them sign the stick. He then poses for a picture with her and notices Charles and says…"Hi Dad!"….he greets the owner with a hug as Charles wishes him a happy birthday. Boy, this owner really sounds like he's "distanced" himself eh? (Last time I promise).
The first group goes off the ice and we make our way to the locker room for a few quotes…Rob Schremp and Doug Weight are our targets. (If I haven't mentioned it yet, I was joined today by the one and only Gary Harding from www.eyesonisles.com, Chris Hessel from www.nyifyi.com and Christian from www.islandershockeyblog.com. You should definitely check out their coverage from today as well.
As we walk into the locker room, it's loud and just a tad intimidating, but we make our way through and we find Rob Schremp chirping away. As we walk up it starts out very informal, how was your summer, how's the knee feel both of which we responded as "awesome". " We've added some great additions to our team". He hopes to "build off the strong play" he ended last season with and hopes to continue that. When I asked about his new twitter account he responded "it's pretty cool, I really like it. I get lots of feedback, both good and negative, but it's all good"
Doug Weight
Can the Islanders make the playoffs?
"We're definitely headed in the right direction" "I expect this year is going to be much more than a hump year for this team."
On him re-signing with the Islanders…
"This team wanted me back as a player, I enjoy the other responsibilities of my job, but I am a hockey player…they (the Islanders) showed faith in me"
After our talk with Doug Weight, we go to leave the locker room, but we're blocked by none other than Rick DiPietro (who is three of me in size with his pads on). As we are walking past him, he makes a comment how we're the unlucky ones who'll freeze (I won't use actual verbage but it was pretty funny). As I get to pass him I wish him a happy birthday, (I actually remember his birthday since it's the day after my brother's), and he gives me a pound and says "thanks brother…appreciate it". As someone who doesn't even have to look at a couple of guys he doesn't know walking out of the locker room, he made a point to talk to us.
Ok….after a short Zamboni break, our second group (actually group 1), hits the ice. John Tavares, Nino Niederreiter, Josh Bailey, Trevor Gillies, Blake Comeau, Mark Streit, Travis Hamonic, Frans Nielsen and the aforementioned Rick DiPietro.
Some of this group's line combos are…
Travis Hamonic is paired with Mark Streit today.
The Tavares line has been electric so far. Comeau has been in the slot pounding one timers on DiPietro. Tavares mostly with the setup passes.
Speaking of Tavares, the power skating lessons he's been taking are definitely paying off, he looks much quicker on his skates and as usual his hands are second to none. He roofs a shot on Kevin Poulin right after Poulin robs Blake Comeau.
Niederreiter is a bull on skates. He's has a huge frame, and he is a very good skater. He could definitely fill a big role on this team.
Hamonic, much like deHaan, looks like he belongs. He hasn't added the physical part of his game, though that won't be the case next Saturday.
As the second group wraps up…we head into the locker room for quotes round 2.
Travis Hamonic…
On his shoulder, which he hurt at the WJC last year…
"My body feels great" "I feel as strong as I've ever been"
On Long Island
" Was very impressed and shocked" " Long Island is much more than the bright lights of the big city".
Overall, it was a fun day and I learned a lot about what this gig is all about (it's not an honorary title I can guarantee you that). I'll have more later this week and I'll be at the Coliseum next Saturday.

Great job Tony. However, use the eyesonisles site as the new link.
Appreciate the love! Thanks mate!
Was your dress "locker room appropriate" and did the Isles make untoward comments about your ass?
It was great reading your blog(even as you know I am not an Islander fan),but huge hockey fan. You did a great job and look forward to following your blog throughout the year.
Best of Luck,
Nice report Tony. It seems as though DP's demeanor is a lot different now then it was a year ago. It seemed like last year he was trying to avoid people this year he is more willing to talk to people. Hopefully this is a good sign for a healthy season for him.

No Shoes, No Service! Burger King 86s Baby
The baby can't even walk yet, but she's already been kicked out of a fast food restaurant for not wearing shoes.
"No shoes, no shirt, no service!" That's what the mother of 6-month-old Kaylin Frederich was told by the manager of her local St. Louis, Missouri, Burger King when she tried to order a Whopper.
Local FOX affiliate KTVI reports that Kaylin, her mom, Jennifer, and Jennifer's mother were booted from the restaurant due to "health concerns." The infant, Jennifer says, is too young to even crawl, and her feet are too small for shoes. "Everybody loves baby feet!" she said.
She says when she was standing at the counter ordering, the manager told her, "You can order 'to go' but you're going to have to leave if she doesn't have shoes on.' He said, 'It's against health code.'"
Jennifer said she was with her church youth group on their way to a concert. Her mother went into the establishment first; then she followed with the rest of the group. "The guy was still saying, 'That lady is still here with that baby without shoes,'" Jennifer said. "I just looked at him and I said, 'That's my daughter. She doesn't own shoes. She's only 6 months old' ... she doesn't walk. She's not touching the ground. So there's no reason for her to have shoes on!"
Kaylin's mom said she put socks on the baby's feet to try to comply with the manager's request, but the manager threatened to call the police, so the group ate hurriedly and left. Jennifer says she posted her story on Facebook and had dozens of responses.
Burger King issued a statement saying they were "retraining" its franchisees on the "no shoes, no service" policy.
I think the manager was entirely in his bounds. Its the LAW, and just because its inconvenient, it doesn't mean you don't have to abide by it. They make baby shoes, btw. If you think you don't need to have our baby wear shoes just because they "don't walk" than ou might as well plow through stop signs and speed near schools.
I personally don't like to buy milk near its experation date, but I throw it out when it does, because that's the law. I don't care if it still "smells good" People who are smarter than me know when the milk is bad.
A good example would be when 9-11 happened, and the President said to make an emergency survival pack and buy food and a generator. Everyone did because the President said so and so it is THE LAW! So I took out a third mortgage on my house and sold my trailer to build the bunker. DId i want to? No. but I had to because its the LAW. The same thing for gay marriage. It doesn't matter if it is "legal" its the LAW of God, (who is just above the President).
Hopefully this clears up a bit.
I'll go to Mcdonalds instead of Burger King from now on. Besides I like that fish Commercial they had a while back. Burger Kings Commercial are dumb just like the company.
It's the "law" to build a bunker even if you don't have the money (and someone who needs to take a 3rd mortgage out on their house has no money). Sir, with all due respect, you are insane.
"It's the law." Funniest thing I've ever read.
Ben Ross. It's illegal to smoke crack, so put the crack pipe down, "It's the law".
Eat all babies.
Hail Satan!
I don't even carry shoes for my 8 month old son… common sense should of took over in this case…
Ben Ross- This is a site for you mom not ten year old kids. If you happen to be older, you are laughable. Even more so than the stupid BK manager..
I wonder what would have happened if they had waited for the police to show up. Then they might have talked some sense into the manager.
I have read that putting shoes on a baby too soon can hinder their ability to learn to walk, as well as creating problems developmentally that could make it problematic for a child to be able to walk. Thankfully Ive never had this problem concerning our 9 month old. This is a policy taken too far, in my opinion.
WOW, Ben Ross, I really really hope you are being sarcastic… if not, you are indeed crazy sir
For all the people saying "common sense" should've taken over: C'mon, since when is common sense "common" any more? It seems to get rarer and rarer by the day. I'm glad this lady posted this to her MySpace. Burger King should be embarrassed for having employees that pig-headed and stupid to begin with.
- Ben Ross
Obey gravity ITS THE LAW!
I know Ben Ross and he in fact is as goofy as his letter.
No Shoes
No Shirt
No Service
No Dice!
Just go to the drive up and quit your bitchin'
There may be a store policy against bare feet, but it is not the law. If it is, please prove it by citing the specific statute or regulation that is being violated.
Ben Ross, you must be a politician.
Because your comments are without sense and pointless.
come on its only a baby who can't walk. that manager needs to produce a public appology for his lack of common sense about these 'laws'.
Wait, I'm confused. The LAW said we were supposed to build bunkers after 9/11? Oops… I didn't know. I guess I broke the LAW.
