order of business


my trusty ball jar
fit my old Oster blender,

an Anchor lid,
my Pyrex bowl;

salsa is more delicious,
behind sovereign walls.

"my trusty ball jar

I have a problem with this image. Wouldn't one have to turn everything upside down twice to get it to work. It just seems a bit awkward and probably not very good for the blender. So for me anyway, this is a distraction which is not good for the poem. Don't get me wrong I think it is cool what you are trying to do, i.e., mix and match things such as the lid and the bowl, I think most can relate to that. I also realize this is in misc, so you can disregard what I write.

The last two lines are a puzzlement. I don't see how they apply to the first part of the poem, or even what sense they ultimately make.

Anyway it is a great idea, hope you continue to work on it.

Best,

Hi Dale

I was happy I could twist my Oster blender blade assembly right onto a regular sized glass ball jar, flip the jar upside down with the seal and assembly and fit the whole thing easily on the blender. It worked just as well as the bullet blender we have, except I need to get some new seals for my Oster, the ones I have are rubber rotting. There are times when I get frustrated fumbling for a lid that will fit a certain bowl, too. It was cool when one brand bowl fit another brand's lid...and it was just, well, EASY! I also got to thinking how cool it was that four American companies made products that complimented each other. Trump was here in Michigan for a business meeting with Automakers, too, and it got me thinking about the nation and stuff. I have a hope that everything will work out for our country. Oh, I used cherry tomatoes, cilantro, green onion, jalapeno, lemon juice, and garlic and pressed the Oster buttons just a few tap tap taps and...well, it was pretty delicious.

Thank you so much for commenting on my poem, I will make the correction! Have a blessed day.

I use this technique all the time. You can blend something and store it in the fridge
without ever having to decant it -- and no possibility of having the regular blender top
pop off and spray the kitchen ( hence "sovereign walls" ?).

I think the reason the Oster blender has the same thread was that it was an intentional
design choice so it could be used this way. Back when the Oster first came out, mason/ball
jars were a common kitchen storage container.

Neat poem.
