How to use Prismacolor Colorless Blender marker?

Sunday, June 8th, 2008
Ta-Zu asked:


I recently got a set of fleshtone Prismacolor markers as a present from a friend.
There’s a colorless blender marker - I feel really stupid, but I don’t understand how to use it. It just looks like water inside a marker when I use it.

Any tips would be great!

What is a really good blender for chopping ice, say for mixed drinks and smoothies?

Saturday, June 7th, 2008
rasilaverie asked:


All the blenders I have bought either get caught on the ice or just spin them around, even with the ice breaker button. I’m looking to invest in a nice blender to get the job done. I’ve had people mention bar blenders to me but I have no idea where to start and what to look for. If someone could recommend a reasonable and durable blender to me it would be much appreciated!

Can I make a veggie drink in a blender instead of a juicer?

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
livin the dream asked:


or I am losing the nutrients? I am looking for recipes to make veggie drinks but I find that most require a juicer. Why cant I just use a blender? Looking to do a detox for a week or so and don’t know if thier is a specific reason for a juicer rather than a blender.

Oh and recipes would be great!

Thanks!

Johnny

Wednesday, June 4th, 2008
Tash ♥RIP Deb♥ asked:


I mean - surely bread crumbs existed before blenders were created!

I’ve run out of bread crumbs and don’t have a blender…
((((Jamus))))) That method sounds rather therapeutic :)

Can I use my food processor as a blender?

Monday, June 2nd, 2008
ninfragile19 asked:


I overworked my blender trying to make cheesecake yesterday and the machine began to smoke. Realizing that a food processor is the better for the job, I went out and bought one. Other than using it for solid food, would it do the job if I want to make the occasional shake or smoothie?
