Naming appliances...

I need to name my Kitchen-aid. 

I've wanted it for oer half my life. I love it and it's very important to me and my kitchen so I feel like it deserves a name.

It’s purple, and sort of fabulous in all the ways I always thought it would be.

I think I want to name it something different, not ‘Martha’ or ‘Duff’ or ‘Adriano’ although if the things I make as a result of using it taste or look like any of the things these people create I will be ecstatic.

Its kind of sexy in a weird kitchen appliance way. And the colour is rich, but fun, and sort of like Grimace, but also grown up, expensive and special.

There’s lots of chrome, and some black. And the attachments are like fabulous accessories…

And it’s AMAZING. It has changed the way I bake (and cook) – its saved me a ton of frustration over un-whipped cream , egg whites that just wont stand at a stiff peak and somehow always gives me perfect Swiss buttercream.

Some people say that the tools don’t make the chef, but this beautiful piece of machinery has definitely helped me create some dishes I would not have had the guts to attempt otherwise.

So it needs a name fitting of all of this.

And I am at a loss.

How do people name their children?!?!
