Appliance Rebellion

I bought the book, Deceptively Delicious, a few weeks ago and I finally decided to try a recipe. The recipes require pureeing fruits and vegetables into the recipes. I put some fruit in the food processor, turned it on, and nothing happened. Then, I couldn't even get the lid off. So, it went in the trash and I used the blender. Later, Tom put some water in the blender to clean in out, without realizing that I had a spoon in there. The blender made a strange noise and now it no longer works. Two appliances in one day. I hope there are some good sales for President's Day!
