Cherish it! The new ones have flimsy little printed circuits controlling
the speed, rather than simple mechanical controls.

My Kitchenaid is a 5 quart Hobart. There is another one in the
basement that needs to be worked on. I need to check and see if I
still that the instructions to do that.

I have seen those a few times, even seen them for sale, but obviously
that would be impractical for a home kitchen. I will add that I am most
pleased to still have my Hobart mixer. I also got a much older Hobart
at an estate sale. It is unfortunately missing the little metal cap and
ensemble, and the new type of cap etc. doesn't fit. Maybe there is a
junkyard of sorts for mixer parts.

Exactly! When I made chicken soup, I make home made rolls to go with
it.

A meat grinder? I'm still not any closer to a kebbe recipe.

Thanks, I thought kebbe was supposed to be some sort of Scottish
sausage and discounted what the middle eastern recipes Google showed
me.
