I would like to try making bread using a dough hook - but knowing me - it would be like going from the wringer washer to the automatic - I had to keep opening it and checking it to see if it was washing properly - I just didn't trust it! LOL and when they came out with the automatic locking mechanism as a safety feature (so that you wouldn't get your arm caught in the agitator) I had to figure out how to break the lock so I could still check on the wash -
yeah - I'm old................

Mama, you seem to love and have lots of patience and fun doing a lot of things by hand. God bless you for your incredible strength!!
I could not even mix a cake batter by hand! And since I'm a leftie, I couldn't do it anyway, since my left shoulder hurts very badly at times, so I know that beating cake batters and doughs by hand, or even whipping egg whites or making whipped cream by hand is out of the question!
I truly commend you on your endurance to take on lots of tasks by hand. You're truly one of a kind!
