I have to say that for smoothies (I make them with frozen fruit, not ice) and making sauces, I vastly prefer a stick blender. I am so much more likely to actually clean t up, and not leave it! I have a cuisinart one that has a little food processor attachment, and came with a smoothie cup. It also has a whisk, which I imagine would come in handy if you made a lot of meringues or whipped cream, but I pretty much am only whipping for scrambled egges, so I use a fork.
Sweetie, we're crooks. If everything were right, we'd be in jail.

Because books.
So awesome, sara. And with the original handles and everything!
I think Sara might have broken her little toe, playing kickball barefoot. It's not too swollen but it is discolored now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Very nice, Sara!
I just made some "Thai" pasta salad with chicken, snow peas, and cabbage. I might add some carrots. It's pretty good, although the noodles are way too stuck together.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Purple sink in the living room! Even better.
Poor Sara with the toe, that sounds painful.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray for purple sink! Boo for broken pinky toe.

Re: thai salad - lime juice, sugar or artificial sweetener, some sort of citrus fruit (piece of orange or tangello, that sort of thing) add nicely to flavor. salt or soy sauce, ginger, garlic, red pepper if you like it hot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
OW! Tape her toes, stat.

Very nice, Sara!
Please note that I meant that about our Sara, not Amy's.
Oh, Typo, I already made the sauce -- peanut butter and soy sauce and whatnot.

Oh, and also also, Liese, my crap-ass computer is having problems with Tumblr, so I can't get in to approve your Good Stuff.
And I went to try to buy a cheap-ass new computer today, but the only ones in stock had been "optimized" or whatever by the Geek Squad, which would add $100 to the price, and the whole point of buying a cheap computer ($280!) is for it to be cheap! So I don't know. I'm going to see if I can order the basic one online to pick up at the store. I don't think I'm willing to travel beyond Best Buy, unless anyone has a compelling reason why I should....
