I really hate the Magic Bullet, I could kick myself for buying it. I guess I'm just not good at using it, but everything seems to turn to mush no matter how hard I try.

So *that's* why you have a double tandem (20 ft X 40 ft) garage?</blockquote>
Is the tall ladder to get to your avocado tree?
 
You can buy this used fire truck for $15,000:

Yes, to rescue really over-weight squirrels who ate too much and couldn't make it down the tree.
 
I really like this thing. (I am not a Pampered Chef consultant, I just love their products.) It's called an Easy Opener. It opens 2 liter bottles, vacuum-sealed jars, and has a slot (on the cap-opener end) to insert can tabs to open those. No more hurting my hands or having to ask my husband to open everything. It has a magnet on the back so you can keep it on the ice box within easy reach.

Nice set of wheels Bk!

When I come by Christmas caroling with my friends will you impress us by blasting the siren and flashing the lights.

From the looks of it, you also have a snow machine maker.

Did you build a snowman yet?

It is not designed to do anything but mush due to its small blade and high RPM. Maybe you can get better, more controllable results with one of those $10 mini-slicer in Walmart/RiteAid?</blockquote>


I guess that's why I could kick myself for buying it, since I already have other things that work better, it certainly wasn't advertised as a mush maker though.

This flyer would be perfect for you when you come to sing in my neighborhood.

I love having an egg slicer



<img src="http://www.gifttrap.com/images/lovehate/egg_slicer_medium.jpg" alt="" />



... because, as I discovered yesterday when making a chocolate silk and strawberry pie, it really does work on strawberries too! I sliced a pound of berries very quickly compared to using a paring knife like I usually do. It even works well on very soft ripe berries without squishing them. Love this gadget!

It works great slicing mushrooms, too.
