My mixer story

It's a very simple story that might mean nothing to a lot of people, but I still think it's the small blessings in life that we tend to take for granted.

It started a few months ago when I began to learn to bake. Because kitchen isn't my favourite place in the house, I have never bought any cooking/baking equipment, and therefore I didn't have any mixer. A friend was nice enough to lend me a hand mixer, and it was good for some of the simple stuffs I did, but it just wasn't strong enough to mix other stuffs. So I started thinking about buying a mixer.

Now... I know I am not an expert, and I probably only bake once a month or when I happen to have lots of spare time, but having been brainwashed by Masterchef and a lot of cooking/baking shows, I really wanted to buy a good mixer. For those who are baking experts, you'd know that good mixers are NOT cheap!!! One of the top brand is KitchenAid, and they start from around $500 and that's a lot of money to spend on a mixer! I didn't really want to spend that kinda money knowing I might not bake often enough. So I started checking out mixers in the common retail stores, and they start from about $100 ish for a basic one. Finally I decided that I'm going to wait for my bday and try to get a decent $2-300 one as a pressie.

In the mean time, I found another item to go on my Wishlist, an ipad :-)
So lately I've been torn between the two. Should I get a mixer? or an iPad?

Funnily enough, a friend of mine all of a sudden asked me if I want to buy a good secondhand mixer for $35! What a good timing???!!!!! So of course I grabbed it straight away.

Sometimes it's the little thing like this that makes me smile, and I haven't forgotten to say thank you to my great daddy in heaven, because I believe that He answers prayers... as big as curing a cancer to as small as giving me a mixer! LOL. I also think that out of anyone in this world, including myself, He knows me very well, and so according to our needs He provides us with everthing we need and desire.

Ephesians 3:20
²⁰ Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, ²¹ to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
