I Bless this New Blender and All who Puree in Her...

First you cook the pumpkins... (with your home-made chicken stock from last night's roast chicken, oh you are such a Domestic Goddess this week.)

Make sure you wash the New Blender with warm soapy water etc. You could also pat dry with soft cloth. Or you could figure that the rinse was good enough. How holy does a Domestic Goddess have to be?

Pour the hot stuff into the New Blender. Experienced bloggers (like moi) will also remember to wipe up all the spillages before taking the photos.

If you attempt to read the instructions during your first use of the blender, you may will discover that switching the Power Button on means that when you press Button 4 (to puree) the New Blender will spring into action immediately. It will be just luck that at this stage you are right next to it, meaning you can slam your hand onto the lid before too much pumpkin puree flies into the atmosphere. At this point, make sure you wipe everything down again before proceeding with photography.

Serve with a dash of cream and fresh chives (from own herb garden if possible). Photograph lovingly, then eat! Multi-taskers may like to scoff it down whilst bragging about domestic achievements to cyber-space.

  3. Oh yum! That pumpkin soup looks delicious!

    The blender looks very high-tech. I think my old one had just two buttons - low speed and hi speed...no such luxury as a "puree" button.

  8. Dear Domestic Goddess

    Thank you for agreeing to act as domestic goddess at Chez My Float for the foreseeable future. I can't pay you, but I promise not to throw mobiles at you a la Naomi Campbell. Or Russell Crowe.

    Yours sincerely

    The domestically impaired

    PS. Please bring the blender. And herbs from your garden. And the boys - LC would love them. Oh, and Nell. Thank you so much.

  16. Oooh, that looks delicious. It won't be pumpkin season for quite some time around these parts. Hopefully by then, I'll have a new gasket whatsit for my blender. I warped mine.

    That blender is lovely. I'm a sucker for all things chrome.
