For my birthday I got a VitaMix.  This thing boasts that it can do just about everything and so far it has; last week it washed my laundry.  It also comes with a cookbook breaking my roommate and I from our routine diet… aka whatever happens to be on sale at Ralph’s.

The VitaMix claims to be able to cook.  Sort of.  The infomercials claim it spins fast enough to heat up soup.  We checked.  It does.  So my roommate wanted to make French Onion soup, I was all for trying new things in the new kitchen toy.  So excited, that I forgot until first taste testing it that I don’t like French Onion soup.  I don’t like onions, generally not a big fan of the French (though I’m not sure where that started), and don’t like enough other ingredients in there to not like French Onion soup.

All that and I still ate a bowl and didn’t get sick.  So apparently it was that good.  Or it just smelled that good and there was no other food in the apartment.
