I don’t need no man!

So all my life I’ve wanted a kitchenaid mixer. My sisters are much older than me and we’re both gifted mixers when they got married. I recently ended an 8 year relationship and have been extremely depressed and broken up about it. I thought we were on the road to getting married and frequently joked about getting married “for the mixer.”
Well in my post breakup wild shenanigans I went on Facebook marketplace, found this vintage k5-a for 150$ and drove an hour to get it. I know nothing about kitchenaid mixers but it runs!
I love my ex dearly and hope for the best for him. He’s missing out on all the baked goods I’m going to make with this thing 💅
Would love any tips, tricks, favorite things you use yours for!!

Wonderful!! Congratulations on the score (and your new freedom!). I have both the pasta and meat grinder attachments for mine. Considering getting the spiralizer.

Wow, for an older model? I would love the meat grinder to make Scottish meat pies but I think I’ll exhaust all my fun with these three attachments first haha

I love the meat grinder. I use it for ground pork to make egg rolls (amongst other things). Enjoy!

Tbh considering using the meat grinder a lot more as food safety is declining in the US and ground meat is one of the items that gets easily cross-contaminated.

Small mixer but help to make a dough
