Received a cuisinart food processor for a wedding gift, a 7 cup model
(came with a second mini food processor as well).

I've only had it 3 days but so far made a nice cheese dip and used to it
fine chop cabbage for chinese dumplings :-)

Is it worth my time in effort to grind my own meat with it? I was
thinking a coarser grind would be nicer compared to the usual store bought
ground meats for many dishes. Does anyone here do this regularly and can
comment or offer advice? I don't envision buying a proper meat grinder
anytime soon.

Here is the episode number, but I just don't remember how to use it.
Episode EA1B11 The benefit of being able to read the episode is that I
believe he elaborates further on using the food processor for chopping meat.
Maybe someone else can help with finding the episode?
