I've never been happy with my stick blender. It's probably this particular one, and not the whole set of stick blenders, but I can't justify getting a different one to myself when I have one that isn't broken, just not very effective.
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I love my stick blender, but I don't think they last as long as regular blenders do - I have to replace mine about every two years.

What happens to them that they need replacing?

They just burn out and stop working.

Punishingly Intricate
I'm ready for my stick blender to die so I can get a more powerful one! I love what it does but it takes so long to do it. Still it's much easier than blending soups in the blender. The blender I mostly use for smoothies.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I cook so little now that I think my kitchen appliances will last forever. I need to start cooking more.
mac is giving up donuts for lent. he's adorable. He asked me what I am doing for lent so I better have an answer for him tonight. Daily exercise would probably be the best thing for me to add.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So here's a question: has Lent become more of a thing in the larger culture in recent decades than it used to be? I have always heard about it, but I grew up in a Catholic community with a Catholic family. My mother was saying that she was in a pre-Lent session at her (Baptist) church and most of the people in the group were saying they didn't really know what Lent was and/or had never heard about it growing up.

I grew up Catholic in a Catholic neighborhood, so I don't know.

Rats, my stick blender is definitely not at that point.
