Welcome Dear Vitamix!
Please join me in welcoming the newest addition to my kitchen.... the Vitamix 5300!!!! I'm currently contemplating what to name her/him. I think it should start with a V, just so I can remember it better. Vasco? Vladamir? Victor? Vera? I'll work on it.Here is the beauty making me a berry smoothie for breakfast the other morning. (The Husband who leaves earlier than me for work was quite jealous when I sent him a picture.) |
I am lucky beyond belief that my parents thought an appropriate exchange of goods and services was to give me a Vitamix for watching their pup for the last month or so. (I think I got the better end of that deal, but don't tell them!)
Now, since we were first married four years ago, I have had a very good KitchenAid blender. It got the job done (with time and often lots of spatula scraping) enough so that I could never think of a good enough excuse to abandon it and spend a small fortune on a Vitamix. I just kept hoping that a time would come that it would "vroom" its last and we would simultaneously win the lottery.... or at least a really good scratch ticket.
Alas, this wildly impossible situation did not need to come. When the my parents came to visit last weekend, my Dad brought in a sizable box and pronounced it as their "thank you" for watching Tilly (now and at least one more time). I ripped open the brown paper wrapped package to see just a part of one side. It had a fondue bowl on it. I have been lactose intolerant for over a decade and mostly avoid (especially liquid) cheese at all cost. My parents know this, so I had a momentary mind panic of what I would say.
Here is it on its virgin run in making Hummus (recipe on my food blog here). |
More of the brown paper came off to reveal a brightly colored smoothie. I knew what this was! Jumping up and down squealing in my robe and slippers followed. The Husband looked on with only a portion of the enthusiasm I was experiencing (he will understand my joy when I get to using it more and more this week... and forever!).
So far, I have made quite a few fruit smoothies to share with Kevin, a few green smoothies just for me, hummus and pinto bean dip, my favorite ranch dressing, a BBQ sauce for my tofu the other day, and even a soup base to make Kevin tortilla soup on the stovetop. Each time perfect results. Now I know what I have been missing all of these years! I think there has been a day I've even used it 5 times.... LOVE!

Kevin and my conversation later on Sunday after my parents headed home went something like this:
The Husband: So you are covered for life when it comes to kitchen stuff right?
Me: Yes.
The Husband: Ok, good, because next time you--
Me: Well, at least for now. Let me clarify, I am covered on major appliances for a long long time. Having this now means that I can give away my old blender, my old food processor, and my old mini food processor.
The Husband: Sigh.
