As soon as I'm off mustard sandwiches I'm getting a ticket to the Bay area and running your blender through the gauntlet. At least you can afford the mustard! That said: Count me in! Me go too! As Quince said, we've heard nothing but good things about FI here in the hinterlands. I plan on getting there soon. Re: the NYTimes article: Little Fragrant Tiare, it kinda re-juved my faith in blenders a bit. I love the part where they talk about the sound a blender makes once a drink is at proper consistency (a "wah. aaa.. wah.. aaa ... wah" sound -- hilarious). Also I made a terrific Test Pilot (2 actually) last night that I blended for 5 seconds with crushed ice, as Beachbum Berry instructs in the Grog Log. For years I've skipped this process, thinking the blender would make it too diluted. But it worked great -- AND I discovered that my blender has a digital timer on it, so the 5 seconds was exact -- guess you can tell how much I use my blender :) I,Z [ Edited by: I, Zombie 2008-06-27 09:23 ]
