I was actually thinking, there's not much stuff you do with a mixer that doesn't involve flour.

Posted by loosilu (aka loosilu2) Jul 9 '10, 18:46

I try to avoid carbs and I don't cook with flour. Maybe that's related.

Responses:

cheesecake, dips, whipped cream, meringue, frosting. plus - all the cool things you can do with the attachments. - kare Jul 9, 19:30 2
- fair enough. not enough for me to spend the dough (haha) on it, though. - loosilu Jul 9, 19:34 1
  - yeah it was hard enough for -me- to fork out the cash and i'm a kitchenaid mixer freak. - kare Jul 9, 19:37
meringue! :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 19:03
that makes sense. - b. Jul 9, 18:51 1
- I bake almost never. Maybe once a year or two years. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 18:52
I use one to whip egg whites for chili rellenos. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 18:49 48
- you make chili rellenos? for real? my mum made those ... so good ... I should try to find her recipe and make some - JenBro Jul 9, 18:53 42
  - and YUM! -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 18:55
  - Yep, from a family recipe that is older than I am. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 18:55 40
    - I don't think I know what they are. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 19:01
    - liar, you're just trying to lull us all into a false sense of security - 'lia Jul 9, 18:58
    - so then ... you stuff the canned peppers right - not fresh ones? -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 18:56 37
      - Oh yeah, canned green peppers -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:00 36
        
        there's such a thing as canned whole green peppers? - 'lia Jul 9, 19:08 26
        
        I use these. -- (link) - Bacon Jul 9, 19:11 25
        
        those aren't green peppers. most likely they're anaheims - 'lia Jul 9, 19:17 11
        
        I think I'm allergic to green bell peppers. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 19:19 10
        
        really? what about other chiles? - 'lia Jul 9, 19:21 9
        
        hard to say. I seem to have trouble with chipotles. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 19:23 8
        
        i have problems with chipotles too -- nm - 'lia Jul 9, 19:39
        
        I am also very allergic to eggplant, which is related. - loosilu Jul 9, 19:24 6
        
        Right now I am eating about 3 tomatoes a day. Have been for months. - Bacon Jul 9, 19:32
        
        eggplant and jalapeno peppers are related? - kare Jul 9, 19:32 4
        
        they are!!! all nightshades. also, tomatoes and potatoes. - loosilu Jul 9, 19:35 3
        
        and tobacco too. huh! my thing to learn for the day. :) -- nm - kare Jul 9, 19:40 1
        
        Diva is allergic to eggplant too, IIRC. not sure if she - loosilu Jul 9, 19:42
        
        here's what Wiki says. Family Solanaceae. -- (link) - loosilu Jul 9, 19:36
        
        yep - that looks right. by the way - very impressive steak score earlier this week - I always forget bargin bin days at our stores here - and miss - JenBro Jul 9, 19:13 12
        
        I am eating one of those steaks right now. I chopped up some garlic, fresh garden rosemary, fresh garden thyme, and some olive oil and dripped it all - Bacon Jul 9, 19:17 11
        
        did you grow galic chives? if so - don't tell pixie - he'll crab about how they don't belong with potato - JenBro Jul 9, 19:19 5
        
        chives are one member of the allium family - 'lia Jul 9, 19:27 2
        
        Well duh. Deer don't want to have onion breath. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:29 1
        
        garlic, bad boy, garlic - 'lia Jul 9, 19:32
        
        Love mushrooms! -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:23
        
        I have garlic chives growing and common chives. Pixie doesn't have any taste. Hates avocados, enough said - Bacon Jul 9, 19:22
        
        alliums are a specialty of mine :) - 'lia Jul 9, 19:19 4
        
        all onions? -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 19:20 3
        
        different garlics - 'lia Jul 9, 19:31 2
        
        So chives are garlics and not onions? -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:34 1
        
        all are alliums - 'lia Jul 9, 19:40
        
        yep ... I've heard of people stuffing with goat cheese ... but my mom always used I think a blend of pepper jack and colby -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 19:02 8
        
        I use Jack Cheese. I have a mole sauce that is the old recipe but lately I have been using a tomatillo verde salsa instead. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:09 7
        
        speaking of mole sauces ... did you see the triple D episode from Nevada where the woman had no less than 28 ingredients making up one of her 17 mole - JenBro Jul 9, 19:12 6
        
        I saw that. sounded so good. (*chomps apple*) -- nm - b. Jul 9, 19:17 4
        
        oohhhh green apple? -- nm - JenBro Jul 9, 19:20 3
        
        pink lady. -- nm - b. Jul 9, 19:21 2
        
        those are so crisp too though - i like them just as much as the green apples - JenBro Jul 9, 19:35 1
        
        I hate mushy apples. Golden Delicious are gross. Only good in apple sauce or juice. -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:39
        
        Wow! I just ate dinner but this thread is making me have a craving -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:14
- just as easy with a whisk, isn't it? I do have a whisk attachment for my wand blender. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 18:52 3
  - No way. You have to get the egg whites fluffy to where they stand up -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 18:54 2
    - the cuisinart wand blender is perfectly capable of doing that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 19:00 1
      - Those are nice. to spensive -- nm - Bacon Jul 9, 19:23
- oh yah, low carb meringues! heh. -- nm - b. Jul 9, 18:51
