• Stevio, just a suggestion here. When I started using my stove as countertop space, I tripped the breaker so there wouldn’t be a chance of a mishap (fire). Congratulations on your new home. I’ve inherited a 60’s home and plan to do some retrofitting …

• Stevio, this is very interesting information. VitaMix does NOT recommend that you wash the carafe in the dishwasher. Hummmmmm!

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by emtpdmom
• I don’t find the manual controls hard to use at all. There are several video demonstrations on the VitaMix website that may help clear up any misgivings you have. The VitaMix makes very smooth ice cream and creamy soups. I know a lot of people are c…

• Mon46—You’re most welcome. The absolute beauty of this website is that everyone is willing to share what they know, and learn from each other.

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by emtpdmom
• Springfairy—The pictures on your link look remarkably like my VitaMix . . . base, controls, tamper and all. Mon46—High speed blenders do not come with glass carafes, because in the unlikely event that you dropped a spoon or something in while it was…

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by emtpdmom
• I wholeheartedly agree with jellibi. It never made sense to me to juice and not ingest the pulp. The VitaMix reduces virtually everything to juice. Well, I do sometimes add a little liquid so it’s not so thick. But a VitaMix smoothie is very filling…

  in VitaMix blenders... worth it? Comment by emtpdmom
• I use Arizona Green Tea glass bottles. Several friends give me their empty bottles. If I rinse the bottle shortly after I finish the smoothie it usually comes clean with no problem. Occasionally one doesn’t come real clean, so I just add it to my re…

  in Taking Smoothies to go Comment by emtpdmom
• Paxton, I have a VitaMix and have never noticed any “foaminess” in my smoothies. I suppose if you let them “whirl” long enough they might get foamy, but they would also warm up. Anyone else have any advice for Paxton?

  in Which puts more air into drink, vitamix or blendtec? Comment by emtpdmom
• JKD, I fully understand the frustration with changes in requirements. I experienced this several times. It took me several years to finish, and I also transferred a couple of times (was married and husband’s work meant moving to different states). B…

• Hi Annabelle. There are a couple of other recent threads with dehydrator information. The first one has some information on a stainless dehydrator, my personal preference, I think. Haven’t actually made the purchase yet, but I like the idea of less …

  in the best dehydrator and juicer? Comment by emtpdmom
• I haven’t purchased a dehydrator yet, but am 99% sure it will be the same model waterbaby has.

  in dehydrator recommendations? Comment by emtpdmom
• SunnyVegan, I have to agree with Beany. I borrowed one that looks just like yours. It took DAYS to dehydrate anything and I couldn’t regulate the temperature. I even tried wrapping the sides in foil to keep in the heat. It wasn’t worth the trouble. …

  in dehydrator recommendations? Comment by emtpdmom
• Loorin, I posted a similar question several days ago. I’ve become more concerned about using plastics in food preperation, etc., and so started investigating stainless steel dehydrators. I’ve not purchased mine yet, but based on my research and the …

• RCBAlive, thanks for the information on Life Grocery. I checked their website and it looks interesting. MapQuest says I’m about 85 miles away. I’ll plan a trip up sometime in September. There’s a co-op in Pensacola that I patronize when I’m in town.…

  in Baby carrots - the hidden story Comment by emtpdmom
• If I could get them at the farmers market or in the organic section of the major food stores here, I would. I too am leary of food stuffs from WalMart. I buy everything I can from somewhere else, and use WalMart as a last resort. I’m going up to Atl…

  in Baby carrots - the hidden story Comment by emtpdmom
• Petite carrots are supposed to be just that. Not shaved down regular carrots, but carrots that naturally are much smaller. Our WalMart carries them, and they are sweeter than regular carrots. I use them in my stir fry (will my “un” fry now), and we …

• Elizabeth – I spent 5 weeks away from my chlorine filter this summer. I showered in Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana and didn’t notice any problems. I tried to not spend any more time under the chlorine water than was necessary. My skin didn’t dry…

  in Shower Filter Comment by emtpdmom
• I put a chlorine filter on my shower about 3 months ago. It cost $40.00 including the filter. The filter should last 12 months for an average family. The replacement is $30.00. Since I am a family of 1, I figure it should last me at least 2 years. I…

• I had the same problem with the saltwater. I had to drink it so slowly to keep from gagging that it didn’t have the desired effect.

  in Master Cleanse Comment by emtpdmom
• Blue-Eyes—When I do a MC I use “Smooth Move”. I don’t particularly care for the taste, so I add a little maple syrup. I do, however, like the results. The MC morning saltwater flush does not work for me, so I drink the tea twice a day. “Smooth Move”…

• Either purchase sprouting bags or make them from unbleached muslin. Rinse the bag, seeds / sprouts and all and hang them where they can drain. To transport them from place to place, use plastic bags. I do a lot of traveling to visit family, and have…

• Waterbaby, we haven’t heard from you in a while. I hope this means you are taking good care of yourself and beginning to mend. You’ve been on my mind a lot this weekend. Please let us know how you are doing.

  in Need some TLC!!! Comment by emtpdmom
• I’m so sorry you had a fall. Your day sounded so fantastic up to that point. I’ll be thinking of you in the next several days as you begin to mend. I frequently fall (bad ankles), but have been lucky enough to not do any real damage. Usually either …
