Get a blender. I had been using a blender for everything for the longest time - soup, sauces, smoothies... and it works decently for all of these. I have a food processor now, but I still use my blender for making smoothies, which I do every morning in the summer.

Immersion blenders and food processors are specialty appliances. You can get them when you've moved on after college :)

And may I recommend hunting down a vintage Osterizer? They cost the same as newer blenders, but work much better, and look great.

Looks great! Of all the kitchen renovations I've seen on the Kitchn lately, this one is my favorite. Not that it's entirely my style, but I really love that you're going slow, paying as you go, and used the original cabinets. That was one ugly-ass kitchen that you started with, and you made so many simple improvements! Work with what you got :)

Yeah, I had expected the recipe to call for sour cherries. Wouldn't that taste better?

Could be safflower?

So over it!

I have a gigantic, empty wall too. Last night, a friend suggested I paint a couple large sheets of plywood and hang them up. Just solid colors. I think it's a good idea.

I'm also considering buying a huge chalkboard from university surplus.

Oh, and! My friends who lived on farms. They had tons of animals, and one girl even had a hayloft with rope swing. We spent hours and hours playing in there.

Wow, Holland!?! It's a small world; I used to go to church there when I was a teenager.

If you can't say anything nice...

Yeah, I don't know if you should cook in it... it might not be food safe.

But it is a beautiful piece of pottery, and I learned something new about Asian cooking in reading this post! So that's good :)
