Re: type of blender - Magic Bullet

[Guest guest]

Sounds great Elyse! Right now I'm so broke can't even afford a mug! I

just realized if this does involve boiling water I can't make it: we

have no mugs or ceramic bowls! All we got is plastic bowls for mixing

and my roommate and I exploded a glass the other night while making

magnesium with boiling water. No can do!

How about if I pierce the egg on both ends, sprinkle some pumpkin pie

spice on the back of my hand, lick, bite into the 2 fats, and

chug-a-lug-me a raw egg sensation?

A girl's gotta get creative sometimes!

Bottoms up!

I was in the same boat which is why I didn't have a blender for a long

time either, simply couldn't afford it. I eventually managed it

because I need to puree foods and the older type of blenders are too

heavy for me to lift.

is right, freecycle is just the type of place to get a blender,

as well as mugs and dishes, you name it, it's amazing what you can

find there.

If you want to pour hot water in a glass, then you can wait for it to

cool a little or put a spoon in the glass before you pour the water.

The spoon will absorb some of the heat and prevent the glass from

breaking.

A friend of mine pierces the end of an egg and sucks it right out of

the shell everyday. I don't see why you couldn't have it that way and

have the fats in addition (the stevia is only for taste, not

necessary).

Thanks and Elyse!

I never heard of a freecycle before. I only knew of craigslist. I

clicked the link and it's a group for my city!

OK, I just joined and need to wait for approval. Thanks for letting me

know!

Well, I keep joining groups lately! Here's to living online!

==> if you plastic bowl is strong enough you can make the egg

drink in it, and if all else fails mix it in a pot.

I'm going to recommend from now on is laughter. You've reminded me

of how important it IS! I'm still laughing.

Hi Debby,

Regarding the bullet breaking down - I've been wondering about this.

I use it so much everyday that I was wondering how much life it would

have since things aren't made to last these days.

The guy I bought it from told me something interesting. He said when

you use it, don't run it for a long time, pulse it instead. He said

it's happened to a number of customer where they were running it and

it just stopped. He said that after it cools off it would work again

though. However, like you I don't trust the craftmanship these days,

er.. it's not actually craftmanship at all nowadays.

I was thinking of use something else for my egg drink and use the

bullet for pureeing food where it needs something more powerful, but I

don't have room for more stuff.

What are you using now instead?

Hi,

Yes I read all of the instructions when I first got

the bullet and one of the things it said is it can

stop working because it heats up.

And yes I tried it again, and also I never just let it

keep running. The instruction manuals say never more

than 2 minutes and I never let it run more than 30

seconds.. never needed to.

The darn things are just crappily made so for that

reason I can't recommend them, but they do a great job

while they last.

> What are you using now instead?

On the occassions when I do Bee's egg drink I have a

bulky glass jar blender that I got for my wedding. I

make the same thing every day anyway so no need for

the bullet anymore, but what I really wanted it for

was for making my son's foods. Now that he's into

solids more it's not too necessary.

Luv,

Debby
