I throw all my jeans in it (maybe 4 or 5 pair) on the two hour cycle.. works
well.

I use the old kitchenaid to make the pizza day before yesterday.  It worked
well.  It makes a bit of noise on the stir speed, but I can't remember now if
it always did that :)

Understand.  It's hard when you rent, we did it for years and years. Typically
if we like the place a lot, we'd do some fixup type things in the kitchen, just
to make things easier on me.. as long as the landlord didn't mind.  The house
in KY was a good example.  Put in a whole kitchen floor there because they had
an indoor/outdoor carpet on the floor that was pretty yucky to look at and walk
on, and clean.. and when the pipes froze that fist winter, and water got all
over it, I could understand why it looked SO bad (g).  But sometimes you just
have to deal with the house as it is.. for any number of reasons.

Good idea :)

Yes :)  I think I know where mine is (lol)  The small one that uses the bucket
in the freezer works pretty fast though the ice cream is very soft.  The big
one makes ice cream more the type one can buy in the store.

I remember :)  I bought my daughter the roller/cutter for her KA, they get a
lot of use out of it.  She doesn't have the ravioli maker either, and since
they weren't eating dairy, that was ok.

Take care,
Janis
