"Available at: Linens-n-Things Stores or www.LNT.com Why this is good: An inexpensive but good blender that crushes ice. What I think: Somehow I&amp;#039;ve made it all the way to middle age without ever making a smoothie. It&amp;#039;s about time, especially since I&amp;#039;m still thinking about that delicious Jamba Juice smoothie I wrote about the other day. Black &amp;amp;amp; Decker doesn&amp;#039;t call this blender a smoothie blender per se but that&amp;#039;s what I&amp;#039;m going to use it for at my daughter Lisa&amp;#039;s summer party. She&amp;#039;s having a Luau Party and this blender is going to be the star! She wants to do a &amp;quot;make your own smoothie&amp;quot; bar but we only have one blender. That is, until I saw the sale at LNT. At $9.99 per blender, it&amp;#039;s very inexpensive to buy three, maybe even four, blenders and let people blend their own. It&amp;#039;s a lot of rebate forms to fill out but it&amp;#039;s worth it for the savings. We&amp;#039;ll put out fresh fruit, all kinds of yogurt, some ice, and anything else that will make them taste good. (Of course I&amp;#039;ll be checking back-packs to be sure none of Lisa&amp;#039;s friends gets the bright idea of spiking a smoothie! Those teenagers\u2026grrr.) This seems like such a fun idea that I think I&amp;#039;ll invite some of our grown-up friends over for a &amp;quot;chill with a smoothie&amp;quot; party, too. What a great idea! And it&amp;#039;ll be easy since smoothies are so filling, I won&amp;#039;t have to serve anything else! What an easy way to feed a group. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
