Things I Learned Today

A). When a recipe calls for the use of a food-processor, then, you should probably use a food-processor.

B). In the event that you do not own a food-processor - because you already have as many cooking gadgets as your Lilliputian kitchen can store without taking doors off cupboards or blocking the two inches of counter space you actually do have left to work with - then DON'T think that substituting a blender for a food-processor will do the trick.
Unless, if by "the trick", you mean slathering your walls in a half-pureed soybean and garlic mixture with a lemony accent and a hint of middle-eastern spice.


2). THINGS MY HUSBAND LEARNED TODAY...

A). When you wife goes shopping for special ingredients and spends half of her morning roasting her own garlic instead of buying the ready-roasted crap in a jar and then spends the other half of her morning cooking, chopping, squeezing, measuring, "pureeing" and coping with the inadequacies of an archaic blender - you DON'T walk in to the kitchen and say:
"Christ! What's THAT?"
