Tis the season…
As I made my ninth batch of this tried and true pesto recipe this weekend, my blender started spewing smoke. I took it apart and found the coupling driver in pieces. Fortunately, the $6 part is easily replaceable. (I had to order a new glass pitcher a few months ago due to an unfortunate incident involving strawberry-banana smoothies and the kitchen floor. If I keep this up, I’ll have a completely new blender assembled by early next year!)
My food processor was a fine stand-in on the last batch.
