R.I.P. twenty-five years old Osterizer blender

Bad word Bad word Bad word!

So, a blender full of butternut squash, sweet potatoes and carrots has gone into a stock pot.

I don't have the time OR money for this crap!

Thank-you. I feel better. Gotta stir the pot and check on the muffins. Then back to my bad entering VISA this year.

*Sigh* Anyone bought a blender in the past year they really like? I'm gonna hang on to the glass top.

The discontinued line of Jenn Air Attrezzi blenders (and mixers) are the most beautiful items of kitchen equipement I have ever owned. They are still fairly available. I don't use my blender on a daily basis though.

the bases come in copper, stainless & white and the bowls/jars in about fifteen colors, including an etched glass, clear, sapphire blue, a green and so on. If your blender sits out all the time, it might be a consideration.

Here a silver & blue one

I have the copper and clear etched glass model myself.

They're gorgeous --

But they're two hundred dollars at Discount Appliances. If I wasn't so tired (and still doing taxes) I'd start calling Home Depots. The cobalt one would go great with my blue KitchenAid. I suspect the KitchenAid could do this job with no problem, but I had chunks of veggies, and the whisk or beater bar didn't seem the right paddle. (Nor the bread hook...)

Thank you for showing them to me!
