Immersion Blenders.

Immersion Blenders.

A thing liked by me.

That thing you pack in your suitcase, just to tease TSA agents into thinking you're taking down a massive and violent dild' on your business trip.

When I was young, I used to test out my gag reflex by repeatedly imagining what would happen if I blended hair with water. Don't worry. Now that I'm a grown woman, I have grown up woman sick thoughts.

My first IB was made of plastic. Rookie mistake. Plastic melts in piping hot pots of curried coconut curry soup and other things containing alliteration. Not being one to toss away a slightly melted kitchen appliance, I gave it to my brother. If anyone can eat small amounts of melted plastic per use, without consequence, it's him. He once told me that he is worried about being able to make babies because his sperm are so powerful that they would implant an egg from one end, and shoot through it on the other side.

Speaking of eggs, I can't seem to get the shell to come off smoothly these days when I hard boil them. I end up wasting half the egg when I attempt to peel it, and then end up crying alone at my table, mourning the loss of my caloric intake. I follow the instructions word for word on Yahoo Answers, but I'm starting to think that this is all just part of God's bigger plan.

Hard-boiled eggshell removal. Not a thing liked by me.

*Man in trench coat slaps my face, shakes my shoulders, and walks away.*

Where was I.

Goodbye plastic, hello metal!

Since making the switch, I haven't looked back. Except for that one time when I was blending a breakfast smoothie and did happen to look back (in anger), and ended up spraying blueberry smoothie all over my white kitchen. It was almost as much of a disaster as when I was having my period and my vagina sneezed.

Blender that you immerse.

In my eyes, anything that you can consume without having to chew, ranks high on my "Things Liked By Me" list. Thanks to my handy immersion blender, I can soupify the shit out of nearly anything. I recently read that pureed foods should be avoided because they trick your mind into thinking that you are drinking, resulting in less satiation than eating something big and thick.

Hmm.

Lucky for me, I'm the Queen of Trickery, and I've decided that I'm going to blend all my food, and then store it in molds shaped as different types of whole foods. How post-modern of me!

I like testing how high I can lift it before it starts spraying in my eyes.

Blender a la immers.

The weirdest thing I ever blended with one of these bad boys was hummus. I guess that's not very weird, but I did do something weird with it afterwards, that involved hair and water.

At least once a month I get lost in a fantasy world wherein my hand is a clitoris and my job is to immersion blend soups all day.

A thing liked by me.

Oft obscured with "Dick-Whore", my nickname at Jewish summer camp.

Can you use the word in a sentence please?

No. You don't deserve it.

I recognize that this is a very broad thing to like, but please also recognize that this is my blog, which means that I build the agenda.

A couple years ago, before I got American Netflix and a portable chocolate wiener, I read Malcolm Gladwell's Outliers. I cursed my reckless parents for not giving me 10,000 hours of anything growing up, except for shelter, love and affection. I know, I know. How awful of me. But at the end of the day, THERE IS NO MONEY IN BUTTERFLY KISSES. TRUST ME. Tickling will never be an Olympic sport, and there is no National Hug Association All-Star team.

My life was in shambles. I spent my nights curled up on the shower floor, letting my snot and saliva drip down my face, saying things along the lines of, "I don't even know who I am anymore"/"Is this real life?"/"Why?" (etc...), and being generally super dramatic and unreasonable. Then one day, while I was picking the Winners price tag off of one of my shampoo bottles with extreme precision, I came to a realization that hit me like Chris and/or Bobby.

I had 10,000 hours of wallpaper picking experience.

Decor.

OK, fine. Maybe it was a total of 3.7 hours throughout my life, but 3.2 of those hours were spent picking wallpaper as an unpaid minor, so I definitely get bonus hours for child labor.

At the tender age of 4, and after living in a newly built house for less than a year, my parents decided to buy a house in a much more remote and coyote-infested area. The house we moved into had fleur de lis tiles on the entire main floor, and every wall was covered in wallpaper more hideous and textured than Uncle Bernie's hemorrhoidal sphincter.

I've seen nearly every faux finish known to man,  and I've been with a lot of deceitful men.

I genuinely want to know if the carpet matches the drapes.

Gallery walls are more important to me than current affairs.

Things That Are Important To Me
1) Gallery Walls
2) Extramarital Affairs
3) Current Affairs

The only time I pay attention to news, really, is when I can squint at the content boxes, and fantasize that they are all precisely organized in an eclectic way on a 14 foot wall.

Honestly, who buys Style at Home for the articles? That feature in last month's issue on curvy cloches drove me insane. I locked myself in my bedroom all weekend.

Decor.

I reupholster my dining room chairs to match my outfits.

I've got enough vases for a man to deflower every night of the week.

I was going to convert my closet into an office space but got distracted re-visiting the cloche pics.
