Gulp!

On a recent trip to Costco, we saw that they were demonstrating the Blend-Tec blender. I have been drooling over this blender and the Vitamix for quite sometime, but had a hard time spending $300 on a blender (or a vacuum - I really want a Miele Polaris, but that's another post). I stopped to listen to their spiel and enjoy some ice cream and a smoothie. Littlebit spilled both and carrot smoothie does not come out of white shirts. Argh!

Not to be one for spontaneous purchases (HA!) we went home and discussed it for the next few days. Finally I decided to just go for it and it was a good thing too because a few days after buying it, I knocked the old blender out of the cupboard and it shattered on the tile floor.

We have enjoyed smoothies and milkshakes the past few days. Big Daddy is all excited and made me buy Oreos from Trader Joes so we could make an oreo cookie milkshake. Our old blender made these things, but now everyone is inspired by it. Today I made the kids a smoothie with cranberry juice, fozen blueberries, and a banana - they said it was the best smoothie ever!
