My food processor of almost 30 years bit the dust in the pre-Christmas baking frenzy. I managed everything I had to do with the mini prep, but it took at least twice as long. Yesterday I went to Macy's post-holiday sale, armed with my Christmas money, and purchased a new one. It's bigger than my old one (a basic early model) and has an extra lid and an extra slicing disk. It didn't cost much more than the original -- much less when you adjust for inflation. The old one was made in France, the new one in China. The old one had a lifetime guarantee (after 30 years I didn't hold them to that) and the new one is expected to last at least 10 years. I suppose the French simply have more pride in their culinary equipment. I expect I will be slicing and shredding regularly for a few weeks.
The first real day of the new year found me not doing much toward my slimming down goal. We opened some chocolate mint cookies and I ate one -- my undoing. I did get all of the Christmas boxes down from the upper garage, so at least that project is started. Today will be better.
