That reminds me. I've got Vita-Mix Super 3600 back in the pantry
somewhere. Does that qualify as high-powered, whiz bang blender?
It doesn't get used very often but, years ago when I saw in the local
Saint Vincent de Paul thrift store I couldn't turn it down. The price
they had on it was $20.00 and they were offering everything in the
store that day at 50% off. So, $10.00 for a Vita-Mix, complete and in
mint condition was my best deal of the day.
I'll give it a try on my next batch of hummus.

Ross.
