Oddity of the day

Apparently a food processor, in French, is a "Robot Culinaire." (This from the box of my brand-new red! KitchenAid food processor, bought when I accidentally dropped my ancient Cuisinart on the floor and broke it.)

A Robot Culinaire sounds like it would do something much cooler than just slice, dice, and cut butter into flour for pie crust, doesn't it? Like it would make the full meal, serve it to you, clean up the kitchen afterwards, and maybe wear a little apron.

OMG I WANT A ROBOT CULINAIRE.

Except I am patiently waiting for the black one to come back into stock before I buy a new Cuisinart (mine is ancient and is starting to do really alarming things when we use it). Does this mean I will have an evil Robot Culinaire, the Darth Vader or Dalek of Robot Culinaires?

Oh, well. You got the RED one, so clearly your Robot Culinaire is going to be a sex beast.

Hmmm. And the white one would probably only let you make food that was really good for you.

Wow. This makes color choice complicated.

I have a metallic chrome one. Now I am all nervous as to what that says about me!

Ooh, I have a shiny black one! It calls out to you to stroke it, and it makes incredibly evil sugar cookie dough.

Mine will be blue when I finally break down and get it already!

I can totally confirm that the white Robot Culinaire only lets you make healthy food. It lives to grate veggies and make huge low-fat batches of pesto. Now, the white mixer on the other hand whispers things like "add more cream," and "you haven't made cookies in so long".

I shoulda bought the blue one. I betcha it's much more easygoing.

Well, we got a killer deal on the 6-qt (delivered today), and apparently it's whispering "bread dough, bread dough..." to the DH, so I'm not so sure that qualifies as "easygoing." ::g:: (this is what I was refering to above, spaz that I am some days)
