I agree with this whole thing. More importantly, I didn’t realize that you were a devotee of both the Vitamix and Costco cults.

I have a “refurbished” Vitamix 5200. It is my favorite thing in the kitchen.

I also have a Costco card. I am a platinum member. You know what pushes back the darkness? 1.5 pounds of shelled pistachios for $11.
