I used to bake quite a bit. Mr. Cheddar's mother used to work across the street from a wholesale kitchen outlet store, and for my 23rd birthday, they bought me a refurbished KitchenAid mixer, something that had been on my wishlist for the better part of three years. Unfortunately, when we made the move back home, my KitchenAid along with my four-years-running collection of baking accessories went into storage, and my baking days became a thing of the past.
A few days ago, I broke down and got my KitchenAid out of storage. And because I never do anything half-baked (haaa!) I thought it would be a good idea to kick off its homecoming with a very difficult meringue or souffle.
