Meet.... Megan!

Goodbye, lousy Kitchenaid blender!  You were so unkind to ice cubes.  You turned your back one too many times on my chickpeas!  Off to the garage sale pile with you!

And welcome, Megan!  My new Vitamix blender!

And, yes, that is a coffee shake (ala Starbuck's Frappuchino) being mixed up...

Voila!  Thank you, Santa Rick!
