If you can already tell me where my title is from, I applaud you and also invite you to be my best friend forever. My fellow Ninjita, if you will.
We can even make bracelets!

However, if you have zero idea what I'm talking about, you need to watch this video before we continue. It's crucial to your existence and I promise you'll thank me.
Dead. Freakin'. Sexy.
OK, so, now that you're well-versed on how to throw your Skoal pack as a Ninjy star and also nunchuck a homie with an oh-so-harmless-looking gym class jumprope, we can continue.
As evidenced yesterday, I'm now old. Not old as in age ~ I'm 23, BeeTeeDubs ~ but old as in I don't mind a Saturday night filled with grocery shopping {and spongey spotted dick food} or a Monday night watching Jeopardy and screaming the answers like a maniac.
Oscar Wilde!
Smooth!
The South Side!
Shiiiiiit, I mean "What IS Oscar Wilde, Smooth, and ..... Ah forget it. Alex, you're creepy anyway."
Shiiiiiit, I mean "What IS Oscar Wilde, Smooth, and ..... Ah forget it. Alex, you're creepy anyway."
Those things have all been yelled as I write this post. {I should note that we DVR the new Jeopardy every night, and this particular episode is from November 23rd. 2012. I just watched a JCPenney commercial about their Black Friday deals on orthopedic shoes. For real, it's like they know my life.}
I guess it's also almost time I yell for my nightly Mylanta, because I'm obviously 23 going on dinnertime-at-4:30-p.m.
But I'm now also old in that we bought a new blender Sunday night and I may have actually skipped-to-my-lou as we left Bed Bath & Beyond.
Y'all, this pretty is now a tenant in my house.

I mean, I've gotta have something to blend up my beverage for Prune Juice Pong, right?
Last year, within months of each other, both our blender and our food processor got too drunk on veggies and permanently passed out.
Stank motor.
Weird noises.
Blades I was worried were gonna fly off and Judy-chop Holly's nubbins.

But when you're a health fanatic and addicted to pesto like we are, you can't go very long without a working ninjy-choppin' appliance. So we bit the bullet nunchuck and finally invested in one of these Diamond Daves, and I already couldn't be happier.
If you've had a bad experience with a Ninja blender, don't be an asshole and rain on my parade by telling me. Just let me enjoy this moment of pure blended bliss.

The single-serve cup alone blended a clusterfuck of fruits and ice cubes right before my eyes in 4 seconds flat. I actually counted.
It even has a dough setting.
IT EVEN HAS A DOUGH SETTING.
After the Failed Cookie Recipe of 2012, I'm quite sure this nugget has reinstated my faith in life.
Also, this baby is exactly 2 horsepower, which I'm assuming is like Black Beauty: The Early Years, which I'm assuming means it's mane-blowing-in-the-breeze fabulous, which I'm assuming means I'm allowed to do Pantene-like twirls and model poses as I use it.
So basically, I'm having a love affair with a blender/food processor/dough-mixing-phenom. And Glenn isn't even mad about it, which is so sweet of him. His only comment so far was on the noise of the thing, which is about a HIGH out of 10. Last night when I made a baby smoothie, he yelled,
"Alexa, I told you not to use the chainsaw in the house!!!"
So, there's that. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm about to go throw an entire watermelon in this thing and see what it can do.

First you've got the ninja chop, then you've got the judy-chop. And no, I didn't have to watch the video above to know what you were talking about ;)
no video needed, i learned all bout ninjin circa 2009. you could say, I'm a ninjette, but most importantly don't go ninjin nobody that don't need ninjin.
NO POWER TOOLS IN THE HOUSE, DALE!
I have a ninja. but it's not fancy like that one. actually mine sucks very badly and I hate it. the end.
how did you not know about margarita day?! that's it im coming over.
ded. I need one. I have a magic bullet, but it doesn't even have horsepowers .... it has like, kittenpowers.
I think you have one of my favorite blogs to read! I just got a stand mixer and I haven't stopped using it. I'm sure that's how you'll be with your nin-ji!
i'm kind of overwhelmed with the amazingness of that video combined with the ninjaness of the ninja. so much choppin!
I am honestly crying right now because I was laughing so hard. And now that I'm done laughing, I keep having little random giggle bursts. Andre' would probably kill me if I brought home ANOTHER kitchen appliance, but not I want to be a ninjette, too.
Wellll this officially just got added to our wedding registry. And by this I mean the West Virginia ninja. He & I share the same accent. I think we'd be tight.
National Margarita day? You better believe that day will be picture message craazzyyy ;)
Love that ninja!!
Yay for the Ninja!!! We got this blender last year for Christmas, and it is truly amazing! I can make smoothies and black bean soup all in the same appliance. (Just not at the same time, ew!)
I want one SO bad. I am trying to hold out and register for one, but I don't think I am going to last! Kuddos to the Hubby for roses!!!
I never knew I wanted one until this post. You just talked me right into it.
We have the ninja!! It is amazing. Best. Blender. Ever. It was one of our wedding gifts, and I swear, Steven wouldn't have survived his jaw surgery without it! That thing can blend any substance into a smooth sensation!!
If that thing ninjas a watermelon, I will...I don't know. That'd be amazing.
Mmmmm margaritas. :)
First of all, I love that blender. We had it in our apartment in college and would make the best concoctions. I can't even given them a name because it was usually just ice, soda, and whatever booze was lying around and sometimes an ice pop.
You just made my day with the news of National Margarita Day! Already counting down.
I'm obsessed with pesto as well, love for you to share unique pesto recipes if you have any!!I always love finding out new ways to cook with it! :) AND I call myself old a lot as well.. and i'm not! I think it's just us being weird/normal... ha! We have jobs not school books... that kinda cray!
Basically our entire Christmas was spent watching this Judey chop video and Ain't Nobody Got Time for That! haha. That's basically my family....
Oh that ninja judy-chop
I need to get a food processor ASAP! Pesto is delicious
I love love your dog so cute!
so here's the facts: i'm sort of an infomercial slut and apparently it doesn't even have to be a lengthy infomercial because between the west virginia ninja and the dough setting i was already completely sold.
i have to go convince my husband. maybe he'll get it when i remind him how much our magic bullet doesn't judy chop and that it totes overheated one time and his smoothie tasted like burnt rubber.
My boyfriend has the ninja blender and we LOVE it! Seriously a great investment!
so here's a funny story. I have the ninja too, but the red one...and I'm in one of their infomercials. You can youtube it, the one at Olive R. Twists...I drink margaritas like a champ, lol.
