"Today, the girls win!"
A food processor and 0% fat products.
MADRID -- The organizers of a women's running race in Spain apologized Monday after the winner was offered a food processor to take home, sparking accusations of sexism.
Overtaking bass.....
I just noticed the blender.
User name checks out.
What blender?
That's not a blender, that's a food processor...!
Wait, the blender processes or she does?
I love the Holderness Family and all they do. As a parent, they speak to me in a way that first makes me laugh, then makes me feel understood, then makes me feel like we're all in this together and it'll be OK.
Plus, I mean, to get that worked up over a food processor - Kim's got some acting chops.
I've got a crush on their Midwestern neighbor. Just felt like I should confess to that somewhere.
They were also wholesome on the Amazing Race last season. If you can compete in a reality show around the world while jetlagged and sweaty, and never chew out your partner then you have a good/genuine relationship.
After each episode aired, they recorded a podcast just with their reactions to watching the episode and their memories of what happened in the Race. As a longtime fan of The Amazing Race, it was great to hear that inside baseball. Like, I was yelling at the TV, "Don't carry all those bottles in your hands -- use your shirt to make a sling!" Penn explains that the rules of the challenge specifically state you have to carry them in your hands and arms and can't stuff them in your clothes.
The under counter attachment must really be special.
Why can't guys own a Vitamix? They're awesome. Any fitness or nutrition enthusiast would love one.
Vitamix - "go team go". Being the father of both a son and daughter - I'm not ashamed to say that I bought a Vitamix for my daughter. And, it was a gift for her, at her request. She uses the Vitamix a LOT.
Forget the Vitamix. I'm going to get me some Vita- Meata-Vegemin.
I love my Wolf blender. Some people meditate... I blend.
A Wolf blender? Hot damn! I have a Wolf range - and, they make incredible stuff. I can only imagine what their blender can do.
....it probably mixes, crushes, purees, and emulsifies food.
EGJ - I agree about the base functionality / capabilities. I have found, through experience, that the Wolf / Sub-Zero company engineers their products very well - their products are durable - and, meet a high standard / quality in their use - or lifetime.
All blenders aren't made the same...
Proper equipment makes all the difference. This extends to my smoothie cup.
Watching it make hot soup just from blade friction is an experience.
My late wife would always say the same thing when she came into the kitchen...
If anything every needed a spokesperson, I would recommend Ms. Tomei wholeheartedly.
Go Blue!
...conquer Europe? Well, at least France.
Sorry, my brain still goes to Dan Akroyd's Bass-O-Matic when I think of "blending" things. Yeah, it does...
Classic skit. Let's not forget Fred Garvin either.
Right up there with one of my favorites:
"Shimmer - it's a floor wax AND a dessert topping!"
How does it fit?
Good Lord I need to see the machine that can blend an effing WOLF Where’d you get it???
Nice! It's like the bass-o-matic... only bigger and stronger! - Fred Jackson
I never knew it had a gender bias. I have one and bought it because it's professional grade. Most chefs are men, by the way.
Allegedly.
Blender bias?
My vitamix mostly sits in the cabinet. I use my Osterizer as my daily blender
The ex-MIL bought my ex and me a Vitamix for a wedding gift. When we split up her only stipulation was she keeps the blender-mixer-ice cream maker-soup cooker.
I didn't fight it but boy I wanted that when I left.
When I got divorced I got a letter from her lawyer that she wanted the Christmas decorations. I didn't put up a fight. Especially since I got to keep the house. Probably helped that it was underwater at the time.
The vitamix is money. I made smoothies for years in it. Its in prof kitchens everywhere. great for a lot of things, and not the usual cuisineart junk.
if you're a healthy eater, its a pretty great tool. twss.
Amen! I love it!
Can a food processor only be used by women? I used mine to make riced cauliflower and smoothies for my kids. I guess it’s not OK for me to use it?
Riced cauliflower smoothies? For kids?
Joan Crawford was his grandmother.
Wire cauliflower? What have I told you about bringing wire cauliflower into the house?
correct. you should stop immediately. If you have a wife, just have her use it for you.
Can a food processor only be used by women?
Nah, everyone is just looking for a reason to be offended.
What did they do wrong?
When my wife of 33 years mentions something big we need to get soon (and there are many getting worn out items) my standard rejoinder is "But I got you a new pan"!
She actually did buy the house a new pan recently but I thoroughly enjoy pretending to be my chauvanist self fully expecting to get smacked. Yes, I have been known to poke the bear. Gotta have some fun these days. Even better is to blurt it out when she has her three female college roommates over. Duck!
