me: “Wow.”
food processor with large crack in top and blown motor:
me: “So, should I not have used you to make kindling for the Chiminea, then?”
****
update: I’m accepting recommendations for a new processor. But do keep in mind that I am but a few jars of pennies short of that second America where things really, really suck.
Have you tried a nice, sharp knife and a cutting board?
Just sayin’.
Advice?
I got your advice right here, buddy.
TW: become MORAL
I think I’m a bit long in the tooth for that . . .
Get a rasp.
tw: plunge possessor down the toilet.
You may want to check with Tuesday Morning, too, if there’s one in your area.
Yeah. And the Red Pepper soup got everywhere.
Last time I made THAT mistake.
A Cuisinart, unless you’re hell bent on making this a research project rather than just getting a food processor.
Tuesday Morning is a good idea
Then again, you might try this:

You know, John Edwards keeps room 143, sector 8, level 3B full of household products just for those in the 2nd America that might need them.
Just give him a shout.
You know, if only America were more like Cuba. And, instead of rice steamers, we were all given food processors. Just a thought.
My TW has brackets. This is going too far.
You put a blown motor on a Cuisinart?
Dude, that’s hardcore.
The Viking food processors are a bit pricey, but I have dropped it, put things in there that did not belong, and basically abused it, and it still does everything we ask it to do.
If you got a Vita-mix, you really could use it to make kindling for the chiminea. My bro has a 25 year old one – it’s an awesome WMD. Unfortunately, like so many things that will last forever, acquiring one requires many jars of pennies.
Get thee to a thrift store. Pick up two cheap ones for $8 or less.
For chopping.
For liquefying.
For kindling.
I’m thinking about a 9 cup Kitchen-Aid. I hear it’s pretty freakin’ tough.
Anyway, off to do my plyometric workout. This new P90X regimen will be the death of me, I’m pretty sure.
I sympathize, man. My 10-year old TV blew it’s fuse last night. Sigh.
Now I have to decide on a wide-screen flat panel HD of some sort. I’m thinkin’ 40-inch. Suggestions?
I have a 32″ Samsung LCD in the bedroom. But if you have the space and don’t need to hang your TV on the wall, I recommend a Sony HD projection. I have the 1080p 60″ (only about 13″ deep) — which has a better picture than almost any of the flat panels I’ve seen. I think they also have a 50″, which would run you about the same as a decent 40″ flat panel.
But enough about you. I need to chop me some food!
mojo – 50″ Samsung is really really good for the price. I prefer the Sony projector in my theatre, but for day to day viewing, the Samsung was the best combination of quality and value that we could find.
65″ Vizio for the basement, but that was a puchase based solely on size. The picture quality is far exceeded by the other brands, but not so many offer reasonably priced pieces in the larger sizes.
“You put a blown motor on a Cuisinart?
Dude, that’s hardcore.”
Might be something to think about for that Turbonique blower you are rebuilding, make a blender out of a 55-gallon drum for those intimate little get togethers.
Use a lawnmower instead. It’s faster, though makes somewhat less even slices.
Immersion blender.
Seven-Cup Cuisinart Classic. It’s cheap, it works real well, and it looks just like your mom’s.
All concerned: Sony Bravia 40″ 1080p…
YEAH, BABY!
Feh.
I’m a professional Chef, so everyone defer to me!
Get the 14c. Cuisinart- the only thing better is restaurant-grade, like a RoboCoup R2, or a Vita.
My beloved 25 yr old RobotCoupe died lsst month, so I’m alookin for a new food processor, too. Probably will end up with a CuisinART but I’ve been hearing they’re now made in China and not nearly as durable as in the past.
Just kidding…
I am a professional Chef, but I could give a Nutria’s Patoot if anyone defers to me.
