Introducing Betty the Mixmaster

Vintage Sunbean Mixmaster

Well, I found the golden egg of my thrift store creeping career yesterday. Yes you guessed it! A vintage Sunbeam Mixmaster. I love it and although our first date may have been a disaster, I know it is probably my own fault. Seriously, who attempts a recipe one has never attempted before, on a first date? It was chocolate mousse and even though most people will think that it is an easy recipe, I have not much experience with egg white fluffery. However, the verdict is still out as the concoction is chilling in the fridge as I type. Is it suppose to go runny after you add the melted chocolate and have made the sugar egg white mixture fluffy and hard but not too dry? Alas, I do not know. So, tune in and see if I have failed my first outing with my illustrious Sunbeam Mixmaster... Whom I have decided to call Betty.
