Don't you just hate it when you can't find something you thought was common??

I have been pulling my hairs out, going crazy trying to find this:



NO ONE HAS IT! Or even knows what it is! it is a hand blender! I want to make soups with it! But I guess everyone thinks soups come from cans these days. It is utterly annoying. I came back from France thinking that finding one of these things would be a snap to buy, and likely cheap. I was ready to make a killer soup with a recipe I learned in France, all the ingredigents ready...just gotta get the hand blender.

Store after store, even a mall...no where to be found. Sears had it out of stock indefinately.

Wonderful. Finally, I just found one, for $17, so I can make my soups.

But boy, what an unexpected trial finding one.

What items did you have a tough time finding, that you intially thought would be very easy to find and all over the place??

 

I thought that was some kind of sex toy at first glance,pretty weird.
Anyway,cant you just mix soup with a spoon or something im sure theres a way.

 

It makes soups? The fuck it do? Looks like a dildo.

I'd try looking on the internet though, ebay, and those types of sites if you can't find them in your local area if you're still looking for one.

 

cooks.com or the foodchannel.com it'll be there.

alton brown recommends the one with the power cord, though.

 

LOL

 

I thought that was some foreign sex toy upon first glance.

Call me a pervert. I can still kinda see it.

 

you need a handblender to make soup?

 

Beat me to it.

 

i think i need to work on dirtying up my mind
i knew it was a hand blender upon first glance
i have one and they're awesome

 

And I do a lota cooking too. Crazy.

 

fuck, i love those things. i think i got mine at like walmart or zellers or a bigbox store along those lines. around twenty bucks for mine too. its awesome for making creamed/blended soups, like squash soup taht you blend down, cream of zucchini soup, etc. waaaaaaaaaay easier than ladelling into a food processor and then pouring back into the pot

 

you just have a dirty mind, nothing that crazy about it really

 

Huh?

Oh. I wasn't paying attention. I was thinking about you naked.

 

I thought it was dildo at first too.

 

If you guys were here, I'd high five you.

 

eh, now I see the sexual reference, after you mentioned it.

missed it at first.

yah, I like to make my own soup. Mixing it with a spoon, eh..a spoon doesn't really mash loads of vegetables real well or real qucik, plus the matter of the boiling water..hence the blender.

I just want to make a soup with fresh ingredients purchased that day..not canned soup.

 

i prefer my vegetable soups to be very rustic with huge chunks in it.

i made an amazing elk & potato beer stew. omg!!

 

I can't believe so many of you have never seen an immersion blender before. Seriously every kitchen should have one.

 

i've seen them...i just don't see a real need to have one. we did, but its just another thing that cluters the kitchen at home...

 

Eh I don't really like soup so I have no need for one. And they're not that hard to find around here.
