I've been making some raspberry wine slushies the past couple of weeks.
The blender though, is finally going to die and I could smell the motor
getting hot. It is an Oster blender and I'm disappointed that it only
lasted about 45 years. Maybe I should have bought the extended warranty.

So, my new blender arrived this morning. After all these years the
glass container still fits on the new one so I have a spare. Local
strawberries are in the markets now so I picked up 3 quarts this
morning, sliced and sugared them. So, another day or so it will be
slushie time. Strawberries, white wine, a little rum, ice, hit the button!

This blender will not have to last 45 years for me.
