Yes, my husband shops. Willingly.
No, you can't clone him.
Anyway, he was out with friends, shopping (and yes, I'm sure he's straight, by the way) and he stumbled upon a big sale at the Paderno Factory Outlet (Paderno is a local company, dontcha know). A major sale. Like a holy-cow-now-we-can-afford-the-Cuisinart-food-processor-we've-been-talking-about-for-five-years kind of sale.
So he bought me a Cuisinart.
Yikes, sorry for the hair-raising photography. The light is so horrible, these days. I don't have much to work with.
*Officially* it was a Christmas present, but the thing is massive and there was no way he would have been able to hide that thing somewhere in the house (our house is so small that we can't even fit a Christmas tree in it).
I've been inventing excuses for the past 6 weeks to whip it out and play with it. I don't think he understood why I wanted one so badly until he used it, himself. When he saw how fast it chopped his stir fry veggies, all he said was "Duuuuuude." and his eyes just about popped out of his face. Stir fries are a twice-weekly tradition in this gluten-free household, so it was a big deal.
I've been using it for mixing GF dough (pizza, cookie, scone, almond balls, etc) and chopping the aforementioned veggies. What else should I be making with this thing? Ideas? Oh! Homemade mayo? Egads, I can't believe it only occurred to me just now.
Gotta go! That mayo ain't gonna make itself.
(PS: The keyboard for my iMac pooched on me a couple of months ago. The letter K and the comma buttons suddenly decided that they had known enough of the world and offed themselves. Perhaps it was murder-suicide. We'll never know. Anyway, I've been using the frustrating/disgusting/obnoxious keyboard that came with it, five years ago. So he got me a new keyboard. He's a keeper, this husband of mine.)
Homemade dips like hommus are super-easy in one of these
