Do you want to do something specific? You've gone this long without a
blender or food processor, so I don't think you have a pressing need
for either one - but in general, you can do most of the things a
blender is used for in your food processor.

I agree, but I do find a stick blender is handy.

+1 on that. I've got all 3-- but if I had to give any up-- I'd part
with the 1 quart blender first-- then the 2 cup one-- then the stick--
and then the FP.

But I don't cook the OPs meals, so I have no idea what he likes. If
he enjoys smoothies or shakes-- then all bets are off.

That would be my order of surrendering items too (except I ony have one
blender, not 2)

Oh yes. That would change things. But for normal meal production, I'd
stick with the order mentioned by sf.
