I've been meaning to have some of my automaticwasher.org friends over my place at some point, and this past weekend was the perfect time - too cold to play outside, and in light of festivities on the other side of the country at RevvinKevin's place. Perhaps there should be an annual Winter Wash-In day in late January to help us wash the winter doldrums away! In attendance was the world famous Toggles, mister BrianL and Matt, and of course myself and Bobby. We started out the afternoon by grabbing some lunch and hitting up an estate sale where Brian and Matt got some cute little ceramic Christmas houses. The house itself was bizzare, the upstairs decorated in central-jersey-angsty-goth-teen flair. After that, it was off to the supermarket and then back to the Compound, where Toggles took charge of the kitchen and had Matt and myself as bumbling sous chefs. We dined on two kinds of chicken, mini meatballs, rice, veggies, and two different salads. For desert we had a red velvet and buttercream cake. After dinner, the washer lads played with the Maytag and the Lady Kenmore Portable. BrianL was treated to a Hoover TwinTub demo. I had an awesome time and was thrilled to have such a good bunch of people over. Special thanks to Toggles, who has quite the passion for good food and really took charge. Pics to follow... | ||

That agitator was just what I needed!
That was quite funny that we found the GE tall ramp agitator that I broke on my washer, and there it was destined for the trash. I yanked that frozen agitator right out. If I had my wagon, the whole washer probably would have went lol. Imagine all the apartment people wondering why there were 2 guys from a Beamer raiding the trash lol.

Thanks Robert, for moving us into imfamy. :-) Charlie - I got those canisters at an estate sale in Islen. Love how they go with my metal theme, even if they are a little too early for the 50's vibe. There are 5 in total, the "Grease" one sits closer to the stove. Thanks soo much for posting, Steve. Appreciate it! Wish we had a AW community cookbook! | ||

Bloodcake. 
Can't get over it. Never saw such batter before. It looks like blood. An the ripe red tomatoes really add to the fun. Couldn't help but think of "True Blood" this past season which featured a shape-shifting daemon who cooked and ate luscious food all day. With the fetching Kenmore dial and the Whirlpool Surgilator, you've got yourself the best looking hybrid portable, and Bobby's very handsome, too. Looks like you had fun--wish I could have come. | ||

Eric,
Wow, sure looks like you guys really had a great time. Having had my first two wash parties last year, I know how fun they really are. The networking is invaluable - all of the things we learn when two or more are gathered. Peoria Illinois isn't exactly halfway in the middle, but likely I'll be having another wash-party mid-year. Cheers! Mike | ||

Micheal - Red Velvet is great! It comes out nice and moist, and its slightly chocolate flavored. Come out awesome with cream cheese frosting. If you have the time and inclination, you can use it to make a pretty gory Halloween cake - the color isn't too far off the color of fresh meat! Of course, mine was home-made (cough, cough) but Duncan Hines makes a Red Velvet boxed mix. See the link below. Thanks for the heads up, Kelley! XrayTech and 58Limited got me set up with the beaters and a nice full size bowl, and Turquoisedude posted the care instructions for the Mixmaster in the thread in the yellow forum. I've ordered some 3in1 oil, and will give it a dose when it comes in. The mixer seems to operate pretty well, and I absolutely love the styling. CLICK HERE TO GO TO mistereric's LINK | ||

(Laughs) the finished cake wasn't all that pretty, but it was pretty damned tasty. I'll see if I can find a pic. There is, of course, no physical evidence left... ;-) I'm about an hour from Philly, Darren; exit 9 on the Turnpike. The house is less than 1000 square feet - absolutely an "intimate structure"! | ||

Goth-teen flair--just like bloodcake LOL Thanks for the tip, yet methinks the cake would never bloom for the drinking of the batter beforehand. If you or a friend have HBO, you've got to sample a few episodes of "True Blood" if only to see the Daemon's food spreads. They're available on demand. Spray rinsing in the Whirlpool with your cool new faucet has to be a blast. | ||
