Well I do have fun cooking!

I like the vertical one I have. It has several attachments and the
'basket' can fit at the center when the spike thing goes at the bottom
same time.

The veggies came out very well though the bok choy was a little
overdone. Next time, might try that with thicker Brussells sprouts in
the basket but i nailed the carrot and potato cuts just right to be
perfect at the same time.

The Eddo and potato soup got blended then the bits left from the
soup/stew last night added in and it was good. Very good.

Meantime, the poor celery shall have to languish a bit longer. Family
wants Pizza so loaded a basic pizza dough to mix and took out a pizza
sauce from the freezer. Bell Peppers, onions, mushroooms, ripe olives,
feta, and little bits of home made sausage.

-- ran off for a moment as I remembered the sausage! It was for the
turkey stuffing but left as ground prork in the fridge. Was still
frozen so we skipped it. Made it up now. A bit deeper in spices than
you would like but 'medium'--

The pizza won't be ready for a bit but then the rye bread is in the
oven. Dinner isnt until later anyways. Maybe by then I will think of
something to use the celery for other than fresh skitcks with the
canned cheese ;-)
