Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Raq, I got this because the 200w wasn't properly handing my protein smoothies. I don't use the more food-processorlike of the attachments, because I have one, but it beefed up the standard stuff.

VW-that's a great letter, very straightforward and reasonable. Not begging for pity or even sympathy -- just laying it out clearly and justifying understanding.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I don't think I've ever used the chopper attachment on my stick blender... not for chppong - I have to go look at it now....

I did once, but that was before my dishwasher was replaced and the plastic didin't like to come clean - so a knife was easier

move out and draw fire

Hmm...I am supposed to be putting together my Christmas wish list, so maybe a stick blender will go on it. I'd feel less bad about burning out something that cost $70 vs. a KitchenAid. Or maybe I can find a good one that runs on 220v/50 cycles...the ones I've seen here are kinda cheap and expensive, but Miele might have one.

Of course, I shouldn't be talking about food prep at all since we had McDonald's delivered for dinner.

Silence means security silence means approval

As to how I lived without one: really good knives, cutting boards, and a 5 quart Kitchenaid (if I had it to do over, though, I'd probably have registered for the smaller, cheaper model like my mother has, as I think it is slightly easier to work with).

We have a 4 qt/250W we could trade you.

My full-sized Cuisinart gets pulled out mostly for hummus and shredding potatoes or large amounts of cheese.

I really wish I had a full-sized (or just an 11 cup) Cuisinart. Our 5 cup model is too small for anything (chute's too narrow for cucumbers and carrots), and it's a joke with liquids.

To supplement the too-small food processor I asked for a V-slicer last Christmas -- the $20 one on Amazon. It doesn't cut "perfect" dice, but it can dispatch half an onion in five seconds, when cutting up an onion before took three minutes and a trip to the emergency room. It does a good job on julienne, too.

We just made gingerbread pancakes for breakfast. As usual, we have an entire large serving of the things left over, turning cold and rubbery as we speak.

I swear, next time, I need company to help us finish them off.

I served them with lemon sauce and sliced organic Bosq pears. So good.

Our wings are not tired.

I would love to take a knife skills class. I have none.

Never used a stick blender, but one came free with my new fridge. I was wondering about the whisk attachment and its usefullness. A smallish processor was a gift with the fridge too. KitchenAid.

Must get on with the timely decorations for the house. I bought more pumpkin and skeleton stuff today. Whee.

vw, the letter looks good to me. My sole concern is that a guy with the last name "Cluster" opts to go by "Dick."
