My mom bought me one last year for my 40th. I had my grandmother's from probably the 30's or so. It has the milk glass bowls etc. I have to see, but I think the attachments will work on either. My grandmother had ALL the attachments. I even have the butter churner! I don't think I'll use that one.

I just posted a query about the dough hooks. Wonder if they work well?

Oh yes, if you don't have that plastic bowl cover with the chute thingie on it? Get it!

I have the red mixer too!!! When I worked at House & Garden I became obsessed with the Kitchen Aid mixer. Well that and the Dyson vaccum, but the mixer was cheaper to get. LOL!!

It's so excited! All I decided I needed to complete the whole collection is the coffee maker (which I will get when my current one breaks), and the food processer, eventually... But with all the other stuff, I don't REALLY need that. i'm just greedy! B)

You know, I'll have to look but I think that there is an attachment (or at least on the old one...) for meat grinding. That old one has a whole lot of crazy attachments and I think they're interchangeable from the looks of it. I found this list of attachments similar to mine - check it out!

meat grinder/food chopper

coffee grinder

can opener

knife sharpener

polishing wheel

slicer/shredder

fruit and vegetable peeler

drink mixer

ice cream freezer motor

butter churn

pea sheller

larger reamer for juicer to squeeze fresh grapefruit juice

horn-shaped sausage stuffer

WOW!

I use the meat grinder and sausage stuffer the most. But I also got an ice cream maker, the shredder, the food mill and pasta thingie.

Cograts on the Graduation!! I wish I had a Kitchenaid...my neighbor has a professional that he has loaned me until this weekend. It's so much nicer than the one my Grandma had eons ago. It's on my list of things to get along with the Dyson and a few others.

Just an FYI for everyone... I was just drooling over the Kitchenaid on amazon after getting a Mothers Day email from them. For now through the end of the month, their is some sort of rebate that you get to pick a free attachment (grinder, juicer or something else). Did you get that rebate Lorka?

So what's the difference in what it does between the regular one and the upgrade?

No, I didn't, because I am Canadian! :)

It just has a stronger/larger capacity... More power. 'Better' parts to it.

The Artisan was definitely good though, and had I not found such a great deal on the other, I wouldn't have gotten the better one.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      My only proof

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this. He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant ...

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until...

      Stomach hurts with movement

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

      OKJmartes. Skin and eyes. Also anxiety and frustration. I have read that Celiacs have more skin problems than people who do not have Celiacs. I take increased levels of Vit. D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
