i need a strong, lasting blender. something hardy. a product that murders ice -- because i love icy fruit smoothies, and drink them almost every morning. Any advice?

What can't you cook?

OMG! There are other RICE CHALLENGED people! ((Hugs)) to you all. My rice always comes out like joint compound no matter what I do. I make an excellent risotto and excellent fried rice (with someone else's rice or leftover white rice from the Chinese restaurant). I can glove bone a turkey with a paring knife. I can't make rice.

Feels so great to see others!! I don't feel like such a dweeb anymore.

Tons. You'd think that with a culinary degree I'd be pretty good, but I still flail around in the kitchen like it's my first time at the stove. At least I'm always having a good time...

Omelets OR scrambled eggs! I end up with some strange mix of the two, mostly because I don't like the texture of scrambled eggs and yet I can't make an omelet. Maybe I'll call them scramlets.

Add me to the deep fry and can. not. fry. chicken. bunch -- a definite matched pair. Usually end up with burned-and-yet-undercooked chicken. So sad because I LOVE good fried chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy.

My biggest problem comes from the "seasoning" issue. My mom didn't add a lot of salt to meals, so .. as a consequence niether do I. I always have to have someone else try it and re-season.

I have seen some holiday-themed crax like heart shaped at Valentines & shamrock at St. Patrick's Day.

Seems like crackers have really taken a back seat to chips over the years. Do you serve as many nowdays?
