Which Gadget for Which Task?

With all the kitchen gadgets out there, I sometimes wonder, am I using this right? There seems to be a million different tools for the same job. For example:

Stand Mixer : This is my favorite tool in the kitchen! I make all my batters and frosting in this thing. I couldn't be a competitive baker without it. It's got all kinds of great attachments too. The one I want the most is the pasta maker but not for pasta...to roll out fondant:-) Hee, hee, hee.

Hand-mixer: This is not one that I get out very much. The only time I use it is when my Stand Mixer is already being used or if I don't want to lug the big thing out.

Food Processor : I use this one even less. I know that you can make chutneys and sauces and things like that but I find that the only thing I do is make bread crumbs or chop a bunch of nuts up. Oh, and I make my pesto in there too! I can't believe I haven't posted this recipe yet! I will on Monday so come back for that!!

Blender : For me, this baby is only for drinks (i.e. smoothies, Margaritas, etc.). I know you can make salad dressing and stuff like that in them to but I generally just whip those up by hand.

So, what about you? What do you use your kitchen appliances for?
