This is for the 'stupid and dangerous' file. And the 'we should all know better' cupboard. Hopefully you are smarter than I am. So, bought some yummy fresh basil from the farmers market yesterday and thought I would make a pesto to drizzle over the delicious tomatoes I had bought. Anyway, I put the ingredients into the blender and I guess it was too dry as it wasn't doing the lovely chopping action I needed. Safely and carefully I stuck a big knife into the blender - "as long as i don't go near the blade it will be ok" - i thought. oh no. it broke the blade of the knife off, it shot past my head with super speed and then nearly hit Nick. How stupid am I? Lesson hear for you all. NEVER, ever EVER, put a object in the blender when it is on.

you are funny. if that happens i turn it off and use a wooden spoon to push things down.
I've done that before, too -- making mango ice-cream. But I put a spoon in, and it hit the blade which caused a chunk of the blender's plastic to fly out.
I'm glad no-one was hurt. Maybe you should go back to takeaway food to ensure it doesn't happen again. You and your fancy farmers' market food...
Caro, my birthday is September 18. I wonder if your baby will be born on that day! Poor kid being a Virgo.
