I wonder if  William G. Barnard who founded Vitamix in 1921 could have imagined the success his product would achieve, and that’s just in my house! There are few products that I love for their versatility as much as the Vitamix. I have made everything from soup to ice cream and every smoothie known to mankind in between. It comes with a cookbook and there are hundreds of recipes online. I even use it to chop my vegetables!

Years ago while on an extremely noisy and long Transatlantic  flight, a friend asked me to listen to something on his ipod which was attached to his Bose Noise Canceling Headphones. That’s all it took and I was hooked. Suddenly, I was no longer on a nerve jangling airplane but in my own little cocoon of quiet. I vowed never to fly without them again and needless to say as soon as we landed I bought a pair. They’re also great if you want to politely ignore a gabby seat mate!
