Dumb post of the day! I went to a charity auction on Saturday and one of the items that was in the silent auction was a "Magic Bullet" blender. My DH has made me sit through more infomercials on the darn thing than anyone should ever have to. This combined with how incredibly tired I am of washing the *$3*@! blender each morning, made it imperative that I win. Despite the "swooper" who came in at the last minute, I won it. This morning's protein shake was a breeze. The thing is AWESOME: fast, easy to use, and very quick clean up.
