hmm only on day two, but I think the hand blender dafinitly. All of yesterday and most of today I used a beater! lol bad plan. I'm lucky in that of my 3 best friends two are doing this with me and the other is really supportive. Also I have a nice CDC. This site has helped a lot as well actually. I have spent an hour so far replying to posts. So although thinking about food but yet not thinking about food.
