caddymanYesterday I bought a very nice Moulinex blender RRP £44.99 for £19.99.
Hurrah.
I can now institute my much delayed lose weight programme, which involves replacing food with vegetables. These will be ingested largely in the form of soup. I have done this before and it works, though sticking with the regime is tough. If I can manage it for a few weeks there should be a noticeable difference1.
I have yet to remove the blender from its packaging but I am confident that it will suit my needs perfectly.
To that end I have been out and have purchased broccoli, cabbage, parsnips and pearl barley. I already have some other stuff so I should be able to create some kind of edible gloop. I did it a couple of years back, I should not have forgotten the entire range of vegetable destruction in the meantime. Readers should be aware that I am not averse to eating vegetables, it is merely their unprocessed state that appalls me. I eat a great deal of vegetable matter; I simply like it to be processed into an animal first. Going back to basics like this is therefore a tremendous step.
Soup-making is only one function of the humble blender, of course. While out and about and vegetabling, I find that I am now the proud owner of three limes, a pound of sugar, two pounds of strawberries, a pound of raspberries and a bottle of rum. Daiquiris are vegetables too2, and I seem to have the fixings.
I need ice.
Oh dear.

2They must be; look at the ingredients: no meat there!
