I am a toaster oven free zone. Too much counterspace used, too little use for it.
I blend often. It keeps my lassi costs down.

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Like Fay said, you can make soup out of leftovers. Any leftovers.

Because - lumps. Not good.
GO TO THE DOCTOR. Do not fool around with inexplicable lumps of any sort. Don't make me tell you why in graphic detail. (If it's shrunk, it's probably nothing serious. It may be lymph nodes, which would indicate an infection somewhere that you ought check on.)
During his last years, my dad pretty much lived on Ensure blended with cheap vanilla ice cream and syrup. He didn't want to eat anything, so that's how my mom snuck in some nutrients.

Ha! I got addicted to mango smoothies after my tooth was pulled. It's not *quite* a lassi, but it's pretty damn good.

“Not dead yet!”
I have a Kitchen-Aid stand mixer, a gorgeous blue beast, and a stick blender, and a food processor and my Old Skool Waring blender.
I am also lucky enough to have a fantastic two-tiered Lazy Susan under-counter cabinet to store the majority of these, even though the mixer lives on the counter.
No toaster oven, however.

One note about blenders - they are easy to use, but making sure the top and bottom are on tightly is essential (I once saw someone pick up a full blender container and the bottom hadn't been screwed on tightly ... not as bad as when the top's not tight, but still a mess). Also, the tops are usually a little stiff when they're new but will loosen up as they're used.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I will be stocking up on popsicles and Ensure and sorbet and ice cream in anticipation for Monday's epic Removal of the Thyroid. I will also be making hummus this weekend. Those of you that are hummus-makers - how long can it sit in the fridge if it's sealed in Tupperware?

...anyone else slightly disturbed by this exchange? No? Just me then?
I blend often, but I use the stick blender and the big smoothie cup it came with. No lids at all.

No blender type gadgets (food processors, etc.) in my possession. Too much work - not the blending part; the cleaning part. Although, if the parts for a food processor that get washed can be dishwashed, I may have to reconsider. I'm still not quite used to having a dishwasher (love it though I do).
I always have had some form of toaster oven, however.
