For Esau was an hairy soup, but Jacob was an smooooth soup

[desperance]

Yesterday's shopping was a new blender. The old one is not quite worth throwing out yet, but it is very old, and broken in at least two ways already, and it puffs and blows and is bothered by the notion of doing any work.

The new one? Oooh. Big glass goblet! Mega-motor! Pre-programmed settings, that do fancy and interesting things! [Also, big glass square goblet! No more of your tedious roundnesses for me; my blendings shall have angles!!)

I foresee more soups in my future. Today's lunch is a classic in this house, roasted cherry tomato with molto garlic, flavoured with rosemary and bay, adorned with pesto and parmesan and bacon croutons and sour cream. Them's my kind of additives...

The old one is not quite worth throwing out yet,

As a confirmed compulsive hoarder, may I just say, if the new one is working fine, please consider getting rid of the old one sooner rather than later (looks pointedly at the non-functioning toaster on the counter next to the new working one, and the new kettle in the box on the counter next to the old but still working kettle where the plastic on the spout is actually going grainy from old age ...)

I know. I do know. But, well, it does work; and I can't throw out the motor-part anyway, because with a different top on it's my coffee-grinder too, it's only the blender-beaker that's buggered; and if the new one went wrong at all, then what would I do if I didn't have the old one to fall back on? I only ever reach for a blender when I, y'know, need a blender, and...

And I bet I could knock your hoardy compulsion into a cocked hat. I have one to hand, as it happens, I've been hoarding it...

Is there a little corner of *your* life like that? I know there is in mine.

I suppose an hairy soup would be one which met with cats before it met with soup plates. :-)

I think that would be exactly right. So do they. (Though tomato soup doesn't do it for them, apparently. Even Mac has never tried to eat a tomato.)

Good grief, no. I adore it. Indeed, I depend on it; I am a shoddy solicitor.
