'B' is for blender

I love this blender....'tis a thing of beauty.

Okay, so beauty may be a bit of a strong description but it is proving to be a wonderful kitchen companion.  Not just for The Bug's pureed meals but I find that I am using it for grown-up meals too.

For instance, yesterday I blitzed up some bread, cheese and garlic to stuff in some mushrooms for dinner. 

Today's blender bonanza was a fish pâté made from fresh sprats. I say it was pâté but I really just chucked the pan fried fish, sour cream, lemon juice, and a pinch of hot paprika in the blender and hit go. Just perfect for an afternoon snack, served on Krisprolls with some chili and lime sauce.

And it doesn't stop there, it also can convert into a hand blender...excellent for soups, especially when you don't want to decant the food out of the pan. Tonight was a fine example of that when I used it to make a very creamy mustard mash.

Just bootiful.
