There's been a lot of hoo-ha in the blog world recently about the Fairy Hobmother. This benevolent being has been flitting about granting wishes and no-one really knows why.
Behind it all is a company called Appliances Online which as the name suggests sells all manner of electrical goods for your home. Obviously, they're wanting to spread their name and gain a good reputation, but they've been sending lucky people items that they don't even stock themselves.
What gives, Appliances Online? WHY ARE YOU SO NICE?
Anyway, I made a wish a while back on the very excellent blog A Rather Unusual Chinaman for some accessories to pimp my Kitchenaid trophy Bertie Branning (named after Max Branning of Eastenders fame) and lo and behold, the Fairy Hobmother sent me:
- a rather secksy glass bowl which I'd been lusting after since I'd seen Lorraine Pascale use one on Baking Made Easy.
- a meat grinder which came in a box with the words "Fleisch Wolf" on it. FLEISCH WOLF. Yes, the German word for a meat grinder is FLESH WOLF. AMAZING.
Anyway, I've been asked to spread the love, so ANYONE who leaves a comment on this post and makes a wish specifying what they would like could be visited by the Fairy Hobmother too!
(Make sure you're contactable either by email or Twittername)
Roll with it, guys - I'm pretty sure you won't get a horse's head in your bed.
Unless you ask for one.

I'm still curious as to why Appliances Online would be so kind...for you I can understand as you do lovely blogs - for me I'm not quite that lucky ;o)

Well, Fairy Hobmother, I could really use a visit. I jacked in my job last September to return to studying and establish myself as a freelancer. Whilst I'm a lot happier, I am also a lot poorer and I still don't have a microwave (useful) or an ice-cream machine (a want, not a need) for my kitchen. Pretty please?

Poor Chocablog kitchen wants to create amazing chocolatey dishes, but instead it's limited to serving squares of Dairy Milk in over-used Gu ramekins. Poor, sad Chocablog kitchen. All it wants is to be loved.
And my oven is broken but I don't know if that's a bit too much to hope for!!
So, Fairy Hobmother, if you are listening, I would like for you to help @PeoplesKitchen and @healthytowns as they do such good work to help people. I am not sure what they need, but I expect they would love to hear from you.
Thanks Jenni from @NorthcoteBeers
Thanks

I have limited kitchen space, so although I would adore a Kitchenaid, there is simply no room, but I really would love a blender. Obviously the Thermomix one that cooks as well would be mine in a perfect world... :)

Hi Mimi, well this was a timely blog post I have to say as the tumble dryer decided to give up the ghost last outing - in a household of 4 adults & one child it is necessary! So my *The Fairy Hobmother* wish is for a New Tumble Dryer & being a greedy witch to match our Miele Washing machine would be a bonus!! :o) How funny the Word Verification is "slydri" - bizarre or magic...you decide!!

This may be pushing my luck a bit, but I would also love a new fridge freezer as I've recently discovered I've got one of those dodgy Beko models that may catch fire at any second! It's also old, isn't cold enough and makes a right racket!
Either that or I'd wish for a steamer or a slow cooker to encourage me to cook more rather than going out for dinner all the time! :-/
a) a Kitchenaid which is something I would never be able to get in my wildest dreams
or if I'm being practical and not selfish
b) a new washing machine because this one is really unlikely to survive the five loads a day until the twins arrive. And then I'm going to be ... stuck.
I was going to tell the Fairy Hobmother what I wanted, but I'm pretty sure that lovely @NorthcoteBeers is right.
Read her comment instead, Mr Hobmother!

Neil D - I like the sound of this extra large jam bucket.
I would love a pasta attachment for my kitchen aide mixer. I could also use a new cookie sheet or two. Mine are old and scratched up. Thanks so much!
I want one of those glass bowls for my kitchenaid too, can you IMAGINE how handsome Intergalactic Unicorn would look with one of those? (NOT making a wish by the way, as mine was already granted and infact, we used my gift for the first time just last weekend).
:)
Also, your food blog is my absolute favorite, always either inspiring or funny and often both, you're amazeballs
