I got a Cuisinart processor

I've never had a processor before. (Heck, I still don't even have a dishwasher!)

After reading this forum, I decided to go for it. I got the 7-cup model. The first thing I made was guacamole which came out great. Then I practised with the slicer. I had so many veggies that I made the aplit pea soup. I couldn't stop slicing! I can hardly wait to try out the shredder. I'm big on cole slaw. And I won't be buying any more bags of shredded cheese.

Last night, I fixed mashed turnips. I reached for my hand masher and remembered the processor. Those turnips (with potato flakes) came out so smooth. Flavors blend together quickly using this machine.

I always figured that the cleanup would be a hassle. It's turned out to be a snap. And I thought it would be complicated to learn. I watched the video that comes with it and followed the steps. The thing is to get the parts to click into place correctly.

Over the years I think I'm developing a fear of my knives. I wasn't enjoying some of the food prep. With the processor, I'm having fun again.
