desperanceThe best thing about having a food processor? Is having a dishwasher too.
The second-best thing about having a food processor? Is having a shelf that it can stand on, right next to a power socket, where it can always be plugged in and ready.
I've had food processors for thirty years or so, and they lived in cupboards and I seldom took them out, because that was a process that began with the need to clear a space to stand it on, and then to find a free socket, and neither of those was ever easy; and all the time knowing that once used, there would be the need to wash every last little bit of it, and they are so not designed for hand-washing...
So, yeah. Now I use it freely, frequently.
The third-best thing about a food processor? Is keeping a jarful of whizzed garlic in olive oil always in the fridge, and a jarful of whizzed ginger beside. You don't even have to peel the ginger: just chunk it up in its skin and whizz away. Use by the spoonful, and you'll reach the bottom of the jar before ever it thinks of going off. (I didn't use to use too much ginger either: what with all the peeling and the slicing and the slivering and the chopping, so much effort, so much time...)
And the fourth-best thing is that it gives you something to blog about, an almost-confession, that nicely takes your mind off a rapidly-approaching gig that you might just be a little nervous about, what with a new venue, new crowd, new country...
