Stuffed mushrooms with goats cheese and creamy polenta [emoji4]

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I've been looking into getting myself a blender. However, I've also seen that some of the stand mixers, such as the Kenwoods, have blender jug attachments.

How does a blender add-on for one of these compare with a stand alone? Is the added functionality of a stand mixer useful? I've ever used one, so no experience there.

Lazy Mondays… Pizza time...

• rolled out the pre-made dough (lazy) to make it thinner (with a beer bottle of course, all class here!), then put it in the pre-heated oven for two minutes to get a tad crunchy...
• grilled courgette + pine nuts
• sliced goat cheese, sliced tempeh, sweet peppers, onion, mozarella, pre-made pizza tomato sauce (did I mention lazy?)

I'd stick with a standalone blender if I were you.  The wife and I have been really happy with our Blendtec.  I was able to buy a refurbished Classic unit for $200 USD shipped with both the Wildside and Twister (for dry items) jars.  It works great for smoothies, sauces, soups, etc.  If you can get one for a fair price, I'd highly recommend one.

The chili con carne I cooked for our annual christmas party went down so well, a local restaurant is serving it this week…...

I love chicken and waffles. Something about syrup, and hot sauce. That sweet and savory. Mmm now I'm hungry.

Ok, that was my next question. I figured either sweet or hot, but you guys do both?

Well, I do. I suppose it's down to individual taste. My friend who took me to a real home style OG chicken n waffles spot in Oakland told me to dump both hot sauce and syrup all over it, and I've been hooked on that ever since.
