I have to tell you, my brain has a tendency to get a little distracted. If you go grocery shopping with me I’ll stop it. I just have no time for the food processor. But I do have time for the food processor because I don’t have time for it all. When I stop it, I think about the whole thing and remember to add some veggies, meat, or fish.
If you’re in the same boat, you’ll probably need to just make do with a hand blender. It’s just that much easier.
You should probably just make do with your regular food processor. The only reason to get a food processor is that you want to make things easier, and the only reason to get a hand blender is that you want to make certain things easier. I will admit that I have a whole shelf full of hand blenders and a half-full shelf of food processors.
