Maybe it's just "one of those days"... or, maybe you've had too much to drink.

Here's how to know for sure and how to remedy the situation:

We drink a lot of smoothies. (I've posted my popular Strawberry Smoothie recipe here before.) And after Mike's recent visit when he re-introduced us to Strawberry Daiquiris and martinis during our little "party on the porch", we realized that our old Oster blender was shot.

So, I set out to find a new Blender.

If you're like me, you probably find it ridiculous to pay more than $20 for something that simply crunches ice (oh okay, and a few other things...) but take it from me, if ice-crunching is your aim, then a Blender is your game!

Do you know what to look for in a Blender? What about the differences between a Blender and a Food Processor? Which are the BEST Blenders? Where can you find reviews on Blenders?
