Did You Get Cooking-Related Gifts for X-Mas?

Over the last 3 years, a standing rule has developed in our household and extended families when it comes to purchasing gifts:

No cookbooks and no cooking-related items unless specifically requested.

Men in Aprons has been in existence for 3 years now, and since everyone knows that Adam likes to cook, people think that cooking-related items are great gifts. Problem is, I have almost everything I could possibly want in my kitchen, save a few obscure gadgets or super-expensive items. Not only that, but I get so many cookbooks every month, I have them coming out of my ears.

But TheWife and I weren't so stringent when it came to this baby:

We have been waiting for a year to get this bad boy. It's one of those awesome Kitchen Aid mixers like they use on television. Goodbye Sunbeam! Hello heaven! If you look closely, you can see me in that picture twice.

That little hole at the front top of the mixer is where the attachments go. We received a food grinder and sausage stuffer as accompaniments to the mixer, so look out for some homemade sausage pictures and recipes soon.

Take a moment to answer our latest poll (on the homepage) about whether or not you received anything cooking related for X-mas. And then leave a comment to tell us what it is.
