I Want This


So, last night Steven and I went to the state fair (I'll post about that later) but while we were there we watched the demonstration for the Vita-Mix. I've heard about these a hundred times before, they're always in Costco, and my parents and grandparents have one but I've never actually watched the demonstration. I did and I want one SO bad. They're amazing!


In the time we stood there, the guy made us a fruit smoothie (just fruit, nothing else, no juice, nothing), snow cone ice in 2 seconds, peanut butter from honey-roasted peanuts, ice cream, powdered sugar from straight sugar, wheat flour from...wheat (duh). Everything was delicious and I love the fact that it's all natural.


It took everything in us not to buy one right then and there. You can do so much with it. You can even make hot soup because the blades spin so fast and create heat. Amazing. I'm hooked and can't wait until we've saved enough to buy one because we're going to!The downside is they're $450. But they last forever. We had one guy walk by us who has had his for 40 years and never had to replace anything. They have a 2.2 horsepower motor in them. Crazy stuff. We'll have a party when we get ours and you're all invited.
