I just had some delicious home-made carrot,leek and tomato soup, which I made with my new Bamix (which I bought because my old stick-blender was a lemon, and I was sick of crappy stick-blenders, so I decided to hang the expense and go with the best, because I would be using it so much). I have never had such smoothly pureed home-made soup. Wow. So smooth and creamy. Yum.
Also, making Optifast milkshakes with boiling water is like having creamy hot cocoa (only in different flavours). Though adding cocoa and coffee to a vanilla one is the nicest. And it never quite mixes in properly, not completely. Well, I suppose it would if I used the Bamix, but I'm afraid that most of it would end up splashed on the bench if I tried that. Splat!
