Electric mixers or wooden spoon?

gone are the days when i would be drowning in sweat while i manually mix my ingredients in a big bowl. i used to dread the sight of my wooden spoons as it only speaks of the pain my arms would have to endure to make several batches of brownies. with the invention of electric mixers, baking is now a piece of cake, literally. you could just dump everything in a bowl and set your mixer at the proper speed and let it do all the hard work. I've been very ecstatic when i first used my mixer, i didn't have to sweat in my little kitchen while i prepared several batches of brownies as requested for our family reunion. i just dumped my flour, eggs, butter, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda in a bowl and mixed it for several minutes. while it was mixing i was preparing the pans where i would be baking them. Hay!! easy!!! when i was about to pour them in the pan, i felt a sudden gush of conscience... "am i sticking to the traditional way of doing this?" "what if it won't come out as fudgy like when i used to mix it by hand?" all these ran in my mind while i contemplated if i should get my wooden spoon and mix it just to be sure. nah! it's all the same. oh well, let's just see what'll happen.
