So, a while back

justalurkrI struggled visibly with conspicuous consumption in the form of a KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer. I did not know at the time that $229 for an Artisan was actually a better deal than I thought because the Artisan is a step up from everyone's fave and well known mixer. I know now because I caved like that pile of damp cardboard that used to inhabit my living room and bought the mixer.
The KitchenAid out of the box is seriously for baked goods, at least for those who think inside the box. YOUTUBE TO THE RESCUE.
You like shredded chicken? KitchenAid is there for you, no separate attachment needed.
You like butter? KitchenAid is there for you.
You like doggie treats? Okay, yeah, that's a baked good, but for dogs.
Youtubers are infinitely willing to show off their mad Kitchenaid skillz. :D As I write this, I have a dishwasher full of Kitchenaid parts, attachments and accessories (apparently, accessories go in the bowl and attachments on the hub) washing away after first determining which parts are actually dishwasher safe. (Most of them for the Artisan.) Later, there will be:
Curried Cream of Celery Soup
...and something with shredded chicken, most likely soft tacos or enchiladas.
Lesson learned: buy a Kitchenaid early, use often, and before buying other kitchen gadgets, check the attachment and accessory inventory. Expensive start up, but longrun money saver and a well documented reputation of lasting for years.
