Wordless Wednesday…Recycling
I do understand the concept of Wordless Wednesday. I do. But I. don’t. care.
I won this mixer on eBay. It is a 1950’s KitchenAid. The bowl is Pyrex, and until I saw it up for auction, I had no idea that the bowls used to be glass. It had a few scrapes and bruises, but nothing major. I turned it on when it first came, and it worked. Sort of. After about 10 seconds, it started getting smelly. Hot smelly. Wires burning smelly. Ick.
Jon took it apart for me and immediately found the problem – busted ceramic conductor. After calls and emails to KitchenAid, sadly, this model 3-C had seen it’s last spin…the part is no longer manufactured.
But it’s so cute. So precious. Jon cleaned it all up and degreased it, then painted it the prettiest pale blue/green. So retro. It was too lovely to hide away, so I sat it out and thought about a way to repurpose it. Then it hit me…
Fish.
Meet Sir-Mix-Alot, the newest fish in our mixed up house.
I really think he likes it.
