As-Salaamu ‘Alaikum Beautiful & Beloved Black Goddesses

A blender was one of the very first appliances that I ever purchased. I saw one on sale for $15.00 so I bought it. It lasted five years and now that I think about it, that doesn’t seem like a very long time, in the grand scheme of things, but I was satisfied that I had gotten my money’s worth when it finally did start sputtering. That’s three dollars a year and we eat Bean Soup every day so I was using it at least twice a week, maybe more. It was a Hamilton Beach.

When I went out to purchase a replacement, I had a little more money to invest so I bought a really nice looking Black & Decker that cost over twice as much as my old HB. When I unpackaged it, I was really impressed. The pitcher was made out of GLASS! I LOVED IT! But when I tried to blend my soup or pie, I can’t remember which, the damn thing broke! I couldn’t believe it! I mean it was a BLACK & DECKER! They are famous for their appliances, right? So, I took it back and exchanged it for another one of the same model. This time I only filled the pitcher up half-way and it worked okay.

But it took twice as long to do the work.

My next door neighbor ended up stealing it from me. (Joke’s on you, Bitch!) So anyway, I bought another one. This time another Hamilton Beach. They had even improved on the model. I paid about $22 but that’s not bad and I love it. You don’t have to remove the bottom in order to clean it and it works just as well as the first one. It has something called “Wave Action.” I can’t tell the difference, but it gives me something to watch while I’m blending. 😉

My mixer is also a Hamilton Beach and I am very pleased with its performance as well. As I was browsing for photos, I found that Hamilton Beach had offered a set of appliances as a giveaway for a blogger to give away to one of her readers. So, since I’ve always been pretty good at getting free stuff, I’m going to see if I can start doing that for my Beautiful Sisters. #gottagiveback 😉
