Food processors are one of those things that you are REALLY glad you have when you finally do pull it out! I have a really cheap one and it's incredibly loud. If I had a million dollars, I'd buy a quiet one. I also have a tiny little Black & Decker one that I've used for almost 20 years and it works GREAT, for small things like chopping onions (although I more often use my Ulu knife and bowl for that), and shredding cheese (which I've switched to pre-shredded mostly now that I'm only buying groceries for three).

Speaking of Barenaked Ladies, this was a fun night. They have another cruise coming up in February.
