[The high-power blender topic]

The VitaMix is an outstanding machine, capable of doing a large variety of mixing/blending tasks. I've had mine for over 20 years and it still works flawlessly. I'm sure you will enjoy owning one!

[Books That Age Gracefully]

If you're into making desserts, a book I highly recommend is "The Last Course" by Claudia Fleming (published by Random House). I'm fortunate to have a original hard-cover version (now out of print), but the publisher has recently re-printed the book in paperback.

[Lasagna: eG Cook-Off 52]

You're fortunate to have such a talented and thoughtful daughter! BRAVO, to you and to her.
