After my immensely successful recent post, I have been promoted to write occasional columns called "Moments with David and Shantel." I hope you enjoy them. Please be aware, the opinions expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinions of "thepeadenlife" or Shantel Peaden.

Shantel: Do we have a hand-mixer?
David: No.
Shantel: Didn't we get one of those for our wedding?
David: Yes. We took it back because you said that we did not need it because we have a Kitchen-Aid. So we would never need a hand-mixer.
Shantel: You should have told me that we did need a hand-mixer and not let me take it back.
David: Yep.
Shantel: Next time we go to the store we are buying a hand-mixer.
David: Okay.......why do we need a hand-mixer?
Shantel: Because the Kitchen-Aid is hard to clean.
David: Okay.
This is a hand-mixer, which we will soon be purchasing. If you read this and you are the wonderful person who gave us a hand-mixer for our wedding, we sincerely apologize. We were wrong to return the hand-mixer and we should have kept it.So what did we need the hand-mixer for...well I am not sure but Shantel did make these delicious Butterscotch bites that I loved, here is the recipe. I don't think she needed the hand-mixer for this recipe, I just really like it. Plus I do not know what she needed the mixer for.
6 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup butterscotch chips
2 tubes (8 ounces each) crescent rolls (According to the recipe "I like the recipe version", but I don't know what that means)
1 cup contectioners' sugar
4-1/2 teaspoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
1. In a small bowl, mix the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon, then stir in butterscotch chips.
2. Open up each tube of crescent dough, then cut each tube into 4 rectangles. Spread with butter mixture. Roll up each rectangle jelly-roll style, starting with the long side.
3. Cut each into six 1 in. slices; place cut side down into two greased 8-in square baking dishes. We just used a cookie sheet so ours were flatter rather than looking more like cinnamon rolls. Bake at 375 for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.
4. In a small bowl, combine confectioners sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls. Yield: 4 dozen.
Good luck!

This made me laugh. Of COURSE you need both the hand mixer AND a kitchen aid- what were you silly kids thinking? How would you whip up pancake batter? Did you really plan to use the kitchen aid every time?
Glad you now have this settled :)
Haha, McKay and I had that exact same discussion. But luckly we ended up keeping the hand mixer and now I think I use it more than my kitchen aid.
Hey, you guys only got one hand mixer. Mike and I got 3 or 4 hand mixers. Unfortunately they are all packed away. And the one I did bring in to the house I lost. LOL. I'm sure I'll find it when we move out though.
I loved your post. We got a hand mixer for our wedding and it broke the first time we used it. So then we went without for over a year because we were to cheap to buy a new one. hmmm.... I guess my point is that now that we have one
I realize its way worth the investment...so Im glad you guys are going to buy one. :)
I seem to remember either hearing part or all of this conversation at some point. Perhaps when you unwrapped the hand mixer? Only it's funnier hearing it this time because Shantel was so insistant that you didn't need it.
You are so funny! Haha Kyle and I are exact opposite....we kept things that we should've taken back because there might come a day when we might need it. :)
Hahahahahahahahahaha! I love this. Like a lot.
