As Seen On The Kitchen Counter

I never thought I’d give in to over-glorified, mile-a-minute infomercial blather, but I’ve finally caved in to purchasing the Magic Bullet. It’s not just the Magic Bullet, it’s the Original Magic Bullet. It’s every magic bullet’s grandaddy. Don’t get it twisted.

In all seriousness (I’ll try, honestly), yeah it’s one of those “As Seen on TV” products, meaning one in his or her right mind ought to steer clear of it. But by golly I am addicted to the smoothies at Wegmans… so fruity, so delicious, so peachy, so smooth… a 20 minute trip and a 5 dollar investment… I needed a do-it-yourself solution. We tried to go the smoothie route before but cleaning up and storing what was left in the huge blender was a pain in the butt. Plus I’m quite easily the worse cook/food handler on Earth, so making a big old pitcher full of purplish-gook and then realizing it was barely edible was a waste. So, the Magic Bullet not only saves time and space, but the environment too! (As in I produce less radioactive sludge before I realize it doesn’t taste very good and dump it into the sink or hock it back).

So I’ve only really used it thrice and I haven’t duplicated the wonder of Wegmans yet, but I shall persevere!
