A New Cuisinart Food Processor!
My kids are so good to me! Remember last month I guilted my kids into buying me a Cuisinart 9 speed Hand-held Mixer? (I originally wanted a KitchenAid, but the Cuisinart was so darned pretty with its brushed chrome sci-fi finish!) They were so good natured about it too. At first they thought it was a joke. Then they realized I was dead serious! Three days later it was in the mail direct from Williams-Sonoma!
What a Guy!
Jokingly, I said, "Gee, my birthday is coming up and I would really like a new mini food processor." They all chuckled and let it go. Or so I thought. My oldest son, John, asked me a bunch of questions about it. He's the baker and into quality foodservice equipment. Four days later I get a BIG package in the mail. Thinking it was just my regular monthly mail delivery from home, my jaw dropped when I opened it to find a brand new shiny mini-food processor! What a guy, huh? He loves his Mom, that's for sure!
I used it last night for the first time and man, does that thing chop and blend! Even though it's this cute little baby food processor, it gives the big boys a run for their money! It went right through the pesto and spinach I was blending together. Clean up was a breeze too! I'll be sharing the pictures for Pasta, Pesto & Peas later on.
Isn't it cute?
And look at these baby pictures here. Isn't it cute? The Cuisinart Mini-Prep Plus Food Processor is a beautiful piece of work and totally matches my shiny new brushed chrome Cuisinart Mixer. Do you think my son had that in mind when he picked this out for me? You betcha! He loves shiny silver things too. We're both so into sci-fi that it reminds us of something from Battlestar Gallactica or Star Trek!
I just thought of something! He sent that food processor way before my birthday! Does that mean I still get a
birthday present too? hmmm...How about an Immersion Blender? Think I can do it? I still have 3 more kids!
Here's a few pictures of my new Cuisinart food processor. I'm also throwing in a photo of my son, the one that loves his mother enough to send her the very best! Hey girls! Not only is he totally handsome, but he's single AND he has his own bakery! How tempting is that? (This is sooo gonna embarrass him!)
Donna, if I had a son, I would want him to be just like yours!
What a great present - perfect for making pesto!

That would match my new KA! Since I got rid of the old Oster stand-up mixer, I also lost my blender and my mini food processer. Looks like you have what I need!
I'm thinking I need to put a wish list on my side bar.
BTW, Your sons a hunk! ;)

I'm happily married (well, let's just say I'm married) AND straight, but if it wasn't for all that I'd want an introduction too. :P
