** i bought a food processor off of KSL for $25! and my goodness, i don't know what i did without it before! i've used it almost every day. it's a wonderful gadget,a nd it isn't that hard to clean so having to wash another machine hasn't bothered me. i put the carrot salad on top of lettuce and served it that way. it was delicious!
