Vegetable Soup Puree – AKA Super Girl Soup
I came by the VitaMix honestly. After breaking my blender year after year trying to make frozen margaritas, my husband purchased the VitaMix. This super charged blender claimed to have enough horsepower to withstand the ice crushing. Did it ever! Once I had the VitaMix on the counter top, it quickly became an essential kitchen tool. I recently test drove the VitaMix Professional Series 500, which has the added features of an on/off button, different settings, and pulse/continuous speed options. At this point I am obsessed with the VitaMix Professional Series 500. The three new settings are Smoothies, Frozen Desserts, and Hot Soups. I think this machine was invented for me. Thank you, VitaMix!
How a Hybrid Automobile Works
A hybrid car knows what it is doing so you don’t have to. A hybrid is a car that uses more than one form of energy. Hybrid cars have a regular internal combustion engine with a fuel tank as well as an electric motor with a battery pack. Hybrid cars are different from electric vehicles. Hybrids still burn mostly gas, but switch to electric power that normally goes to waste in standard vehicles, explains Edmunds.com.
What Are Good Home Treadmills?
Good home treadmills are those that you will actually use. In fact, the best treadmills are designed for a specific use, whether it’s walking, jogging or flat-out running. Good home treadmills should also have a horsepower rating of 3, and a belt that is at least 18 inches wide and 50 inches long, according to Consumer Search. Finally, good home treadmills should have a minimum deck thickness of one-fourth inch, and easy-to-read displays with push-button controls.
How to Buy the Right Treadmill
A home treadmill offers a convenient exercise option when you cannot squeeze in a workout at the gym. Purchasing the right treadmill for your needs takes some thought and research. Knowing what to look for in a treadmill saves some time on the process. Most treadmills have the same main components. Comparing the differences in those components helps you sort out the quality treadmills from the ones that are likely to break down mid-workout.
