I broke my Blender! AGAIN


ARRGHHH

OK I bought a really funky new blender a stainless one! But it got broken in Sydney while I was in Melbourne. I bought it home but haven't had a chance to fix it yet.

In the meantime I have had my morning Myoplex mixed in Mum's blender which is about 20 years old but going on fine! About 3 months ago the rubber in the blender was nicked by one of the blades when I was cleaning it leaking my drink straight through the blender! A few days I figured out I could replace this rubber bit with one from the food processor that adapts to the same base. woohoo! We'r in business again because everyone has told me you can't get parts for this dinosaur anymore.

Well the time has finally come and unfortunately it's timing isn't good. A late night last night equalled a late rise this morning (but hey I saw John Wood win the Gold Logie!) And I was starving! Resistance training today so I can do that later in the day no worries. Time for a Myoplex. Hrm Blender is dirty pull it apart and wash it!

TOOK me an hour to get the thing unscrewed, I fought with it and twisted it and ran it under the hot water and grunted and moaned but it wouldn't budge. Then just as I am about to crack it and give up it just twists off easily! Carefully take apart! Mind those blades.

Clean and scrub and put back together and FINALLY get your milk and myoplex poured in! Only to hear water flowing somewhere! It's not water it's my myoplex and it's gone straight through the blender.

I HAVE NO SHAKER!

I officially cracks the shits make egg on toast (removing the yolk of course) and continue my day. Thing is though I got over hungry and I'm not recovering despite egg on toast. A huge glass of milk and a bottle of water :(

Sucky!

Time to take my funky stainless steel blender for repair - and I will buy myself a shaker while I'm out too I think.
