She has been coveting this since goodness-knows-when. She loves looking at pictures and admiring them on display. But because Kitchen Aid mixers are very expensive, she is reluctant to buy one. Maybe when I start working, I will get for her one (Yeah, 3 1/2 years more to go to get those darn Law and Finance degrees! Hang on mom, I'm getting there!).
She bakes the most fabulous cakes, by the way (or so, I think =D). My favourite is her super chocolate mud cake =).
Photo taken during Christmas 08.
She has a mini business where she takes cake orders on a casual basis. She was also the one who put together a mini morning tea for the guests at my cousin's wedding.
Mom whipped up some cupcakes, blueberry cheese tarts,
carrot cakes, mini sandwiches and jellies.
Other gifts I know mom would like:
Le Creuset Enamel-on-Steel Whistling Kettle, Pink

KitchenAid Cook For The Cure Measuring Tool Set, PinkPhoto credit: Amazon And for myself, I would like..
Fiesta Head Chefs Silicone Measuring Cup, Pink

If I could, I would share these Paumes magazines with mom:
Paumes Children's Rooms "London"

I think that mom would actually prefer Paris Kitchens or San Francisco Kitchens, than my above selection =P.
*Hearts Paumes*
And... Happy Mother's Day to all mothers out there! Sleep in, enjoy the day and craft away! =)
that pink kettle looks absolutely charming! i think i want one too.
ReplyDeleteHi Lyn,
ReplyDeleteI was scrolling through your posts and saw this one today. I really hope you will be soon reunited with your family. I truly understand what you must feel Lyn... its so hard.
Also I love the choice of items you have displayed under things your mom is coveting. I love every single item you have displayed here. Kitchen Aid and le Creuset are brands I love... but...V.V.PRICY.
Hopefully my husband will get me the mixer for my birthday or maybe this christmas...as I love baking it would really be inspiring to own one :)

Hi Mommythechef,
ReplyDeleteI tried hopping over to your blog but it seems that it is not available anymore? And unfortunately, I don't have your e-mail to reply you. So here's hoping that you will hop back over to this post :).
It is indeed hard to be apart from my family, but I am very lucky to have wonderful friends in Auckland. Most of the time, I hardly feel homesick. And furthermore, my family will be coming back to Auckland to live - probably in a year's time :D. So that's great news for me :).
Kitchen Aid and Le Creuset are indeed pricey! Kitchen Aid to my mom is like Nikon to me. A blog reader suggested that I hint daily to my family of my coveted camera. I laughed upon reading that comment :D. But I shall pass on the same advice to you! You love baking and cooking (and I can tell that you're awesome from your blog), I'm sure you will do wonders with that wonderful mixer :)
Drop lots of hints, MTC! :D
Hi lyn, so sorry for my absence, I've been a tad busy putting together a new blog. Its just that I felt I was getting TOO personal in the old one and I wasn't focusing on the cooking enough...you know ? so I chose to wipe the slate clean, start from scratch and focus mostly on the cooking.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty new to blogging Lyn, so I guess trial and error is inevitable. Either way, my new blog is ready :) ...i am now mommy the COOK :) ...I never went to cooking school...at least not yet so I thought of just being a 'cook' for now :)
Its so exciting to hear you will be with your family soon, even though you have wonderful friends bridging the gap.
Yes...we both should do a lot of hinting to our loved ones. You are so talented with your photography though...so you deserve the camera far more than I deserve the mixer :)
Will catch up with you soon Lyn...bye for now...MTC
