I love pies of most descriptions, but for Christmas I must have Oatmeal Cookies (my grandmother's recipe) and Divinity.

I don't have a mixer so I have to get one of those things first. if you lived closer, I would give you my stationary GE mixer, Sheri. It is a nice one & while several years old, in very good condition as I dont use a stationary one much. I can get rid of it, as my Sister got a new "pink" Kitchen Aide stationary mixer & gave me her old one. (can you imagine?) so now as soon as I get my new Over-the-range Microwave I will have counter space for that one & will not need the old one. Ya never know, maybe Santa will bring you one.

My neighbors just want me to fix their computers... If they invited me over for a beer or a glass of wine or something I think I'd be more willing to drop things when they start whining...

I won't be getting a stationary mixer. I had not idea they cost more than $200.00 for a decent one. I don't mix enough for that kind of money.

yea, I can't say I ever used a stationary mixer for my cheesecakes anyway. I have a nice hand mixer and it works jsut fine---But I do not think I would buy a cheap one & use it for that--go kinda mid ranged for a hand mixer. (if ya get one)

I have a stationary one.. only cause my dd and sil gave it to me for Christmas a couple yrs ago.. never had one before that... I do use it for banana bread , I make it in big batches and it works really well for that... or big batches of mashed taters for the freezer... holiday meals etc... it does take up a lot of space in my cupboards... I have a port one too that I use for everyday kind of stuff...

I have a hand held one but the cream cheese pound cake has to be mixed evenly so I don't know if the hand held would work. I whipped up some whipped cream the other day and sure would have been nice to be able to walk away from the mixer.

You know I would research the situation....I bet there are less costly stationary mixers for sale. As far as the hand held being able to do the job--why not mix it all as much as you can then divide it in half & mix each half--then re-add the 2 portions together with a spatula ???

Walmart here has stationary mixers for $40...for that price you can't go wrong. It's a Proctor Silex 225W and has lasted me longer than any other mixer I have ever owned.

Junie, I saw this recipe on Cooks Country and they were very specific about the mixing because this cake doesn't have baking soda. If it's not mixed correctly it won't rise correctly.

I don't need to make it anyway. Johnny doesn't eat sweets so whatever I make I am compelled to eat and I don't need the calories.

LOL---Rod (my DH) can sniff out a sweet from miles away. If I have a cake made, & sitting on the counter in the kitchen, he cannot sleep--he has to get up in the middle of the night (or twice) to eat some. he will stop easting supper for fear of NOT having room for "dessert"
