Blenders

When I was 21, I bought a beehive blender to make my kitchen look "retro". I bought one for my friend Emma as well for Christmas, but I never gave it to her.

Months later, the glass pitcher broke and I used Emma’s as a replacement. That broke too. Now I have two beehives, no blender.

Blenders are called mixies in India. Even more interesting, a Polish person invented the blender. Seeing as milkshakes are delicious, Polish jokes are no longer welcome in my home.

When I smoke cigarettes around other people, I fan the smoke away from them and apologize the whole time. When I use a blender around people, I get nervous the sound will bother them and apologize the whole time. I don’t like to bother people.

A blender is one of the few appliances you can't substitute. If the recipe calls for a blender, and you don't have one: you are completely screwed. You can't crush ice; you're not the Hulk.
