[aeduin]

Kitchen gadgets as wedding gifts: 2 yes 2 Kitchen-Aid Mixers (we kept the 
6qt with the big motor), a bread machine, a Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Pot, a 
pasta roller, a crock pot with timer, a toaster, various pyrex bowls, and 
cookware.  Plus the stuff we had before.  We need a bigger kitchen.
