I have no idea if you are even a blog reader at all, but if you are, I want to make sure that you are recognised. Every donation counts and is appreciated, of course, but your note on your last donation about wanting to spread your stimulus around bears commenting on.

They are so worried about people who do not need help getting money that many people who need it are being left behind. Thank you, generous donor, for making the point that there are people out there who share when they have more than they need.<\/p>\n<p>So today&#8217;s post is about my new kitchen workhorse &#8212; I really should not call it a toy! &#8212; my new Vitamix blender.
