My Hot Red Kitchen Kitten

God Bless the Great Singapore Sale.

D. got us this KitchenAid yesterday and boy is it sexy!

Despite the severe toothache I am suffering, I dragged myself up early this morning to have the very first go.
I now have the perfect french loaf to feed on for the rest of the weekend.

The baking frenzy has begun!
