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.
So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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?

Ugh. Went out for some beers last night. Feeling it a little this morning.

You could lose an eye that way!
Like Fay said, you can make soup out of leftovers. Any leftovers.
...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.

Depending on how much salt and lemon juice is in there, maybe a week? More? I'm not sure I've ever had any last long enough to go bad.

Also, avacados. Which, with salt and pepper, are my new favorite snack.

Thanks, Jess. I doubt it will last that long, but I wasn't sure it was like, two days.

This. I've used other people's blenders a few times (for blender drinks), and found out the hard way at a party vw was throwing that not all blenders come apart the same way. Oops. And sorry again about the mess.
