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.

I can't help but yearn for a white Viking range... the other options in white appliances are not good.

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 :)

I'm a white Midwesterner who grew up with garlic salt, Prego sauce, potatoes, etc... but I am a big time cilantro lover. The stuff never touched my palate until I moved out of my parents' house.

And I don't think scientists will ever "pin-point the gene", because tastes are likely caused by a lot of different factors. Interesting, though.

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

It's so interesting to see remodels like this. The new kitchen looks fabulous, but I keep thinking about "what I would have done" instead. Which is good, because it gives me ideas for when my time comes for a kitchen remodel :)

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.

What Impressed You About Other Homes As a Kid?

My grandparents had a house that was build in the 1890s (I discovered this by crawling under the front porch and finding a cornerstone). I thought their house was like a gigantic maze. It was actually rather small, but the rooms were all connected by narrow hallways and doorways. My favorite part was the basement - a musty, disgusting cellar, really - where there was a room with a sloping floor that had been used to keep firewood. I thought it was the best hideout ever! I always came back out of the basement covered in dust and dirt.

My grandfather still lives there. Next time I'm in town, I'll have to re-visit the basement.

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...

I love that show! And I too was very interested in Charlie's apartment. (Adam is the strange guy that Hannah is... dating?)

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 :)
