Blender Muscle

We've been working our way through testing out our new Vita Mix which I won from a give away at Jumbo Empanadas.

The motor is so powerful if I attached it to a boat, I'm sure I could pull a water skier. It will even grind dried chickpeas - a fact that bowled me over since I first thought hummous was made with hard dried chickpeas. Thank goodness I did not own this blender the first time I tried to make hummous. My poor guests would have been subjected to the most awful hummous paste.

But the blender would have worked!

More on our Vita Mix experiments later.
