										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When my mom was here last, she offered me her hand mixer.  That thing is older than I am, and that&#8217;s saying something.  It&#8217;s also all chrome retro-future rocket shaped.  Just looking at it made me taste seven minute frosting, which is what I usually got to lick off those beaters as a wee thing.  She warned me that the beaters only sort of stay in, but I couldn&#8217;t resist it.  I donated my hand mixer (which was a wedding gift, so I&#8217;ve had it a long time, but it was pedestrian plastic and purely utilitarian, although it had a ton of attachments, unlike what my mom offered me, but then again I only ever use the beaters) to goodwill without another thought.</p>
<p>Today I pulled it out and used it for the first time.  It was gorgeous and cool and the banana bread I made with it is utterly delicious.</p>
<p>I know full well that life is not about things.  But this particular thing?  This mixer with all this history handed to me by my mom?  Pretty cool right now.</p>
