You're going to think I'm kidding here, but I'm totally serious.

I love those websites where you can completely customize your new car - the color, the interior, the rims.... They're hours of fun to play with, seeing what the various combinations do to the overall effect.

Now I've found something even cooler. Customize your mixer and blender. Genius, I tell you! I want a black stand with a red bowl. I want a silver stand with a white etched bowl. I want a stainless steel stand with a cobalt blue bowl. Works of art, I tell you.

Books: Who can write when there are mixers to admire?
