Torture device a.k.a. the food processor

After almost a year and a half of ownership, I'm proud to say that I finally used one of my kitchen appliances for the very first time: my food processor.

I was intimidated by its sheer heft (probably equal to the Kitchenaid mixer if not heavier) as well as its many attachments. I opened the accompanying box with its many blades and add-ons and thought (somewhat morbidly) that it looked like some kind of torture kit that bad guys bring out in movies when they want the tied-up good guy to tell them THEIR SECRETS. Anywho, I made this chicken curry recipe last night and chopped up the chicken marinade with the processor. If I was a big salsa-eater, I might use this machine every day. But then I'd have to haul it out of the credenza... I guess I could always use some exercise.

How was the chicken recipe? It looked worth trying!

It was ok... I didn't think it was as great as I expected it to be but I had pretty high expectations. I think I like sweeter curries now and this one wasn't as sweet. But we have so many leftovers of it that I have time to change my mind...
