glimpsing into the future -- a little too henny penny

Tonight I saw something on Amazon.com that I don't think I was supposed to see. Kitchenaid is introducing three new colors of stand mixers.

I had just happened there as I was looking to see if the chicken timer that was left behind in Austin (I stuck it in the spice cabinet to keep it safe while packing up the kitchen, and then realized I forgot to pack it and all our spices when we were about 50 miles outside the city limits). Figured as long as I was there I would see how much a new whip attachment is, if they even carried them (mine is rusty).

That's when I spied it. I typed "Kitchenaid" into the search box and of course, the first thing that comes up is their famous stand mixer with a list of about 22 colors that it now comes in (or at least the ones they offer -- Martha has an exclusive on her "Martha Green" and Williams-Sonoma has a beauty in pink in honor of "Cook for the Cure". I clicked on "pistachio" but the color wasn't quite right. Then I clicked on "wasbi".

Oh, my. It is the prettiest shade of green ever. That perfect shade between chartreuse and lime. If you can fall in love with a stand mixer, consider me smitten.

I would post a link, but like I said it was gone literally moments after I saw it. They say it is officially available on March 10th. Probably enough time to get here for you know what -- the thing that I didn't think I would have such a hard time with, but it seems that perhaps I am not dealing as well as I thought I would.

Yes, I think I am just a little crazy.
