What do you use your Blender for ?

[soapgirl]

I use my blender for everything from drinks to experimenting with vegan cooking. I have a Vitamix 5000 bought at an estate sale. Upgraded with the smaller container so it fits under the cabinets. It replaced a Vitamix 3600 bought at the scratch and dent sale they used to have at the factory in North Olmstead, OH. Since we were the only ones there on a snowy December evening the salesman let us look through all the cartons and pick out our base and container. Got a perfect blender at a bargain price. Also have a decades old Bamix stick blender bought at a Home and Garden Show demonstration. I burnt out a couple of stick blenders before the Bamix. I do so love my kitchen toys.

Recently bought a Whole Bean coffee, because I forgot to read the label to make sure it was Ground...

My mom's grinder was too far away to get, and the cord for it got too tired from being wrapped around the unit, so in short, here's my blender used for grinding coffee, although hard to clean out, and I may have done this feat with it before:

(Of "coarse" you should only do small batches at a time, and I probably didn't!)
