Sheldon mirrored my reaction to Buck's "the wife"
statement... except he said it and I didn't. Who was more
insensitive, Buck or Sheldon? I say Buck.

As far as Sheldon's "profanity"... he was restrained and
exhibited self-control in this situation, IMO.

Buck may be a perfectly nice guy who has a computer unsavvy
wife and is trying to do her a favor, but he sounded like a
real clod. Here's a word of advice to Buck: If you don't
want to be roasted in rfc... please try not to use "the"
wife again.

"My" wife is acceptable terminology.

We call our son's ex "the Evil One".

We're talking one cup or less, right? I have a separate mini-
bowl processor.... easy to use and easy to clean.

I've been using a KA for a few years now without complaint
of loss of P.O.E.

I've had a cuisinart I've abused for years now. My
Kitchenaid *blender* died within a year. blacksalt

That is just one of Sheldon's hot buttons. He clearly would
never want to offend women in any way, so he always
challenges anyone who uses the expression "the wife." He's
a paragon.

Now, in another thread in a different newsgroup there was a
recent discussion about this very topic. It was claimed that
the new Cuisinart machines are not up to the old standard
and that the company that used to make the old Cuisinart
(RobotCoupe) is now making the KitchenAid food processors. I
can not vouch for the accuracy of this claim, just repeating
what I heard. Check out rec.food.cooking.equipment for the
original thread.

As a bit of personal experience, we purchased a KitchenAid
food processor about 6 months ago; not the largest model,
the mid sized one. It is used almost daily in the course of
candy making. We chop nuts and other ingredients with no
problems. It's probably a little small for really heavy use,
like kneading bread dough, but for us it handles anything we
have needed to do with it.

(shudder) We've been through that one in the past, too. But
it's funny that you went to the trouble to hunt down all the
guilty parties.

There isn't enough chewable aspirin in the world for Sheldon
ever to be "on his meds".
