ode to the food processor

What a marvelous invention! I don't own one myself, but it dawned on me today that, if I did own a food processor I would not have had to introduce ski googles (see this post on my recent foray into vegetarian cooking) into my line-up of essential cooking tools.

Then again, our ski goggles would likely have sat in oblivion in the farthest reaches of our big scary storage room and never seen light of day again until our next move, so there's that for a positive spin. Anyhow, I've decided to save up for a nifty food processor as part of my new vegetarian lifestyle.

Think of all the wonderful things I could make, like...homemade salsa! Hummus! Pesto! Baby food, for when we decide to add a mini-Shevlin to the household! The possibilites are endless.
