I wanted to let you know about a trick for mincing vegetables. If you have a blender just fill up the blender with the vegetables that you want to mince. Then add water half way up and turn it on. If the blender is a very powerful one it will turn them into paste so watch it and make sure that you stop it before that happens. Then drain them and if you are going to fry them with butter just try and get most of the water out. The water will evaporate once you start frying them with butter. some people may put very little water into the blender and that does not work as well because there needs to be room created at the bottom of the blender by the water or you will get inconsistently chopped vegetables even if you use the tamper.
remember to use that with the lid on….
don’t feel that you have to buy an expensive blender for these things! dollar store blenders work and they will last a while. Plus the enjoyment of using a blender always leaves and don’t feel badly about that. If you buy the dollar store blender then you only spent really 2.95 for that box of chocolates instead of the one that is as big as a bouquet of flowers that no one will like but will only throw away. Except then you will always be made fun of by other family members who actually bought the expensive blender and they feel that it is their right to make fun of you while you are not around because they get to make the special smoothies and blend wheat berries. Because that is the joy of life! oh and don’t forget the special JUICER that is the CORRECT BRAND that you have to have to be accepted!
