Friday Five - Mix & Stir

1) Do you have a food processor? Can you recommend it? Which is to say, do you actually use it? Yes, I do have a food processor. I have a small cuisinart combo with a blender top as well as a hand-me-down regular size cuisinart from my mom. I use the regular one more often - mostly for making pesto.

2) And if so, do you use the fancy things on it? No, not usually.

3) Do you use a standing mixer? Or one of the hand-held varieties? I do have a standing mixer - one of the retro ones - and I use it when I bake!

4) How about a blender? Do you have one? Use it much? I don't use it often.

5) Finally, what old-fashioned, non-electric kitchen tool do you enjoy using the most? Wooden spoons. I use them all the time.

Bonus: Is there a kitchen appliance or utensil you ONLY use at Thanksgiving or some other holiday? If so, what is it? It's not an appliance or utensil - but I tend to use my loaf pans only around the holidays for making pumpkin bread. I don't make it year-round.
