Meet Martha!

Meet my new kitchen helper, lovingly dubbed Martha by my friend, Diane. Unknown to me, Tyler won this beautiful Kitchen Aid in a Lowes contest shortly before Christmas. I was completely shocked (and utterly delighted!) when I opened this on Christmas morning. THANK-YOU, TYLER!
Today I made bread with it for the first time. How nice to let Martha do the work for me!
P.S. I did not adjust the recipe to high altitude, even though we live at the same altitude as Engstligenalp which is above the mountain town of Adelboden, Switzerland (8600 ft). In fact I have not adjusted any recipes when baking, and everything seems to turn out fine!
