Ka-ching

Today I also bought two spatulas (spatulae? *grin*) and a food processor. Rob says I need to get the hang of this "saving money" thing. I think he's right -- I probably could have found a used food processor, if I'd spent some time at it, though time is kinda the problem -- but I also suspect that eating my own cooking with so little waste thus far may already have gone a long way toward purchasing me this thing. It *was* nearly fifty percent off when all the discounts came in. It's one of these, and OMG no, I did not pay THAT for it.

One of my spa-tu-lee is already noticeably yellow. To give you an idea, it started out black. Heh heh heh. The food processor has yet to be unveiled, 'cause I already had the spinach and onion chopped for the palak paneer.

(Also today: bean soup. Onion roast going in tonight. I will be busy scrubbing a crock in 3... 2... 1...)

ooh, food processor :D i love my little braun (http://www.amazon.com/Braun-MR5550CA-Multiquick-Professional-Blender/dp/B00006I4YF), and yours looks like it'll do a lot more.

OOOO I have a stick blender. (On my browser that's what shows at your link - something I'd call a "stick blender".) Mine doesn't have that drum-shaped attachment, though, to turn it into more of a food processor. It just goes in and whirs. :-) I ADORE my stick blender. It makes lentil soup. I don't do this all that often, but when I do, there is nothing like the stick blender.

That might have helped chop up my spinach more finely, too, now that I think of it. I've never used it in a skillet!

yep, it's a stick blender with attachments to turn it into a food processor. very handy :)

Excellent! And very washable, too, I don't doubt. That's one of the best attributes. :-)

My mom had a food processor when I was growing up, and washing it was a chore. The modern ones seem to be designed with magic in them, so that anything that gets dirty can be separated perfectly from electric stuff that shouldn't get wet.
