I just don't know what to put in them.
Strawberries, bananas, yogurt, ice and fruit juice (OJ or Apple) = smoothie yum!
Also good: mango, peaches, pineapple, apples.
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Also good: berries (blue, black, rasp, whatever). I haven't tried making smoothies out of melon, yet, but I suspect it could be good.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
You can make soup by blending up vegetables. I like this one a lot.

You eliminate the need to deal with ice for a smoothie if you use frozen fruit. Take it straight from the freezer to the blender. Throw in milk/soy milk/juice, and puree the sonofabitch.

Good luck with the interview, ChiKat. I hope it works out for you!
Thanks! It's for a school I'd really really like to work at. And, teaching what I want to teach.
use frozen fruit
I do the same thing, Teppy. Easy peasy.

I'll reiterate my one piece of advice: stay away from little seeds. askye's tip about the teabag is a good one too.
My experience with blenders has been that no matter how many buttons a blender has, I only use pulse, slow, faster and liquify. No matter how expensive the blender was, I always eventually get too ambitious about what can be liquified and burn out the motor, so I always buy cheap blenders.

Good luck, ChiKat!
My only blender tip is that you can fill it (as much as it was full of food, that is) with water and a drop of liquid detergent and whirl that up for quick cleaning - makes real cleaning much easier or will do well enough if you are feeling particularly lazy.

“Not dead yet!”
I've got an old skool Waring blender that doesn't even have buttons, it just has the switch. I bought it new a couple of years ago-- my MIL and I laugh, because she has the same blender, except hers is nearly fifty years old, a wedding gift.

now y'all got me hungry. Dunno what to cook thou.
Work went fine. My Sherlock Holmes skills were put to work, and my theory from 3am was actually what happened! Crazy how my brain solves it at ungodly hour, and the two of theirs caused it/couldn't figure out why during normal awake hours. Pfft. Whatever.
Now I'm working on sounds for the Gala video. Cute/Crazy/Cat gal that I talked about earlier is working on it. How can I resist a plea for help for the gal I'm swoon-y for? I think I have "sucker" written on my forehead. Soap not working.
