Things I do with my KitchenAid:

I have used the meat grinder and sausage-stuffer attachments to make 
sausage.  The grinder is also useful on those occasions when hunk o' meat 
is cheaper than pre-ground.

The slicer/shredder attachment is great for cheese.  This is a job that the 
food processor does *not* do well.  At my last feast, I had a lot of 2- and 3-
pound blocks of cheese that needed to be shredded for tarts.  I also had an 8-
year-old volunteer who was not allowed to use knives.  I cut the cheese into 
slightly smaller hunks, and showed the young lady how to feed them into the 
hopper.  She got through the entire job in a remarkably short time.

I use the dough hook all the time to make bread.  I can get 3-4 loaves out of 
one batch, depending on how heavy the dough is.

I do not own the pasta attachment, and cannot comment on it.
