New Stick Blender

I finally bought a new stick blender. In ten years of making soap, I have always used - and loved - my Brauns. I probably went through at least 12 of them during my soapmaking career. For some reason, the Braun's were cheap and lasted a long time. Since they stopped making them I have tried at least three other brands. I burned through rather quickly; one lasted a month and the other two lasted about three months.

I bought a Dualit Hand Blender and am very happy with it - so far! It has a 500 watt motor and a turbo pulse button. It is stainless steel and unlike my last stick blender can go in the dishwasher. It is very easy to clean up which I love. I hated washing my last one by hand all the time. I got it from: . They have free shipping too!

Been Bad!

Oh, I have really been bad. I promise I will be more diligent about updating. It has been crazy around the house with all the kids off of school and me trying to do three farm markets a week. I am leaving soon to do the Menasha Market.

This will be my third week there. It is a small market - only about 20 vendors. The location is really nice. It is right on the main street in front of the marina and directly across from Naut's Landing (a local restaurant). My friend Terry is just two vendors away. He has an elk farm just outside of Shiocton, Wisconsin. In fact tonight he and my friend Linda (she also makes soap) are coming over to have a few cocktails around my new fire pit.

Well, time to load up the car and sell some soap!
