    I have a weakness for shopping and my current lust is for a Blendtec blender. Oh how I love it. Just look at what it can do. 

Will it blend?

Seriously?!

    I love smoothies, ice cream and homemade almond butter. Plus, I really think it will be handy to have for grinding wheat (thinking food storage).

I'm sure there are other awesome things that you can do with it and I can't wait to find out.
