It will come as no surprise, I daresay, that my angst and annoyance regarding the Sept. 18-20 delivery date for Bryson's gifts came to naught, as they hit the porch on Saturday. Meaning I now have another kid's digital camera. Do I send it back or keep it and give it to one of the kids, perhaps Brianna, for Christmas? Hmmm....
Though the Amazon Prime "two day delivery" doesn't necessarily live up to its press, so far its "$3.99 overnight" is shining like a star. On Thursday I ordered a factory reconditioned KitchenAid stand mixer (325 watts of raw mixing power!) and by golly, it showed up late the next morning.
I've traditionally ordered most of the children's Christmas gifts from Amazon, and will for sure pop for the overnight delivery, so I needn't fret about stuff showing up sporadically as it sometimes does.
So far I've not made anything terribly interesting with the mixer, just some cupcakes and homemade frosting, but it was a pleasure. Dump the stuff in, turn it on and let the mixer do the work. Yowza!
A word to the wise, however....if you use those silicone cupcake thingummies, remove the cupcakes before frosting them, for trying to get already-frosted cupcakes out of them is a messy affair indeed.
