Hand blender adds up accessories
31.12.69
Versatile gadgetry is always welcome in the kitchen. Much like the act of cooking itself, the addition and subtraction of elements often creates a final product that is more than the sum of its parts.
Considering that we usually end up eating the creations that come out of the kitchen, it is probably best to pay attention to everything that goes in it--including the tools.
The DeLonghi DHB900 Triblade Professional Hand Blender is an all-in-one solution for many basic prepping needs. The versatility of the hand blender is expanded through the inclusion of attachments. In addition to a standard hand blender wand, the device also features a larger version for pan-blending, a whisk, and a food processor attachment, complete with a slicing/shredding disc and chopping blades. The motor handles variable speeds, allowing the collection to be used efficiently no matter the task.
Digging around the kitchen for the right tool for the job is a waste of valuable cooking time. (Not to mention an easy way to burn the meal.) All of the accessories for the hand blender store together, allowing them to stand by in a ready-to-use state. From whipping and blending to slicing and shredding, the versatile accessories make it easy to get the job done--without worrying about what goes where.

Scott Holt Band to blend blues, rock, much more at Kalamazoo's The 411 Club
31.12.69
KALAMAZOO — He’s got Elvis’ motto “TCB” (Taking Care of Business) tattooed on one arm, Jimi Hendrix tattooed on the other.
“I try to get all my bases covered,” blues-rock guitarist Scott Holt said in a phone interview from a tour stop in Idaho.
Add to Elvis and Hendrix a bit of gospel and his parents’ Ray Charles records, plus his 10 years spent playing guitar in Buddy Guy’s band, and put them in a blender and hit puree to get Holt’s style. “That’s it; the musical blender,” he said.
Holt grew up near Nashville, Tenn., where he still lives. He grew up with music, sang gospel in church, listened to the soul and rock of the South. At 19, he discovered Hendrix and picked up a guitar.
A year later, his dad got Holt to see bluesman Guy and managed to hunt down Guy’s phone number. Holt’s dad called Guy to say, “I got a kid, wants to learn how to play guitar. He’s coming to your show; can he meet ya?” Holt recalled.
