Turns granulated sugar into powered sugar! Makes peanut butter in just seconds with only peanuts! Grind your own coffee beans! Make your own sorbet! Clear your kitchen counter of everything else you need only one machine! This one!One of the demonstrations was a tomato salsa, and i'm not sure why but something inside me went "ooh!" and so i made salsa tonight, while Bear was out being all familial and sociable.
I'd never made a salsa before, but recipes seem to suggest its some combination of tomatoes, chilli, onion, green herby thing, and some acid. So, i chopped up some roma tomatoes, jalapeno chillies, red onion, basil (fresh from the garden), and whizzed it up with some lemon juice. Then i stirred in a splash of extra virgin olive oil and half a cob of corn, because we had some sitting in the fridge. I also made guacamole while i was at it, and served it with sour cream, because i like sour cream, and more basil, because we have a Lot of basil. :P
Then i sat down and ate it with warm corn chips while watching the Queer Eye special (those wacky americans and their obsession with christmas trappings!), and was sated and happy and feeling just that little bit more sociable. So the ratties and i hung out together for awhile, but Kimi got bored with the conversation and went exploring, and Linus slowly fell asleep in his hammock.
*yAwn!*

So that was the reason you didn't come! Ah well, at least you used up some of the basil... Now we need to do something with all that marjoram, lemongrass and chives. The tomatos are still a few weeks away.
