Interesting discovery about my VM

Date: June 30, 2011 03:58PM (Please indulge me for a bit. I have a nice toy 
So today I made a green smoothie. In the future I won't be using soymilk but right now it's what I wanted for a more creamy, full-bodied texture. I used frozen strawberries and frozen mango. I put in a big handful of organic spinach A wee touch of raw agave. I put it in my glass to-go glass (with glass straw) and took off but didn't drink the thing until now. So the whole thing was melted...
Guess what? The smoothie was still delish It was perfectly blended, not congealed like with my lower-powered blender and I still thoroughly enjoyed it! So I am keeping this thing!
(I also made a gazpacho-type of savory smoothie last night as a blended salad and it was yummy, too! )Re: Interesting discovery about my VM

Date: July 01, 2011 06:45PM Another discovery: I noticed today at the coffee bar that they use what looks to be a VM as their smoothie machine. I thought the BT was the one in every Charbuck's etc.? (this wasn't that cafe chain, though).
Another revelation? I have always heard that VMs are so ugly. I beg to differ. They remind me of Volvos! Re: Interesting discovery about my VM

Date: July 01, 2011 08:26PM so you never did tell us, is it a 5200??? that is do you have the variable speed dial? OR is it a 4500 which just has hi lo and on off?
And also were you thinking of a Volvo 240 (ducking) or the C30???

Date: July 02, 2011 09:31PM I have the 5200. After the tax (which you just can't get around, I discovered), a reconditioned one is (at least in IL) about $414. And don't ask me about models of cars--I don't drive and never had a license. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
