Because the blender handles liquids so well, until recently there was an argument for both appliances. But some new food processors have water-tight seals on the top and bottom, so you can purée liquids for soups and drinks in them — making the blender an endangered species. (Unless, of course, you’re interested in puréeing rocks, vuvuzelas or iPhones, which third-generation blenders can do.) <br /><br />I would pay to watch Roy put his iPhone in a food processor.Dinahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09227988351623862689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-44314518006959385782010-09-14T01:05:18.240-04:002010-09-14T01:05:18.240-04:00I'm a Pyschiatry resident and it's so refr...I'm a Pyschiatry resident and it's so refreshing to read a doctors' blog that makes me laugh instead of analyzing the latest research on the genomics of Schizophrenia.

One bite (the first ever bite) from a fruit tray at work, caused my co-worker to ask "what happened to your mouth?", as I was wondering what had triggered my asthma. *sigh* My lips made Mick Jagger look like he needed lip implants! Too bad they taste so darn good!<br /><br />Any recipes for watermelon margaritas?
