FREE dysfunctional food processor!

After less than a year, my food processor has lost the will to make pesto, rendering it dead in my eyes. Yet I find it philosophically difficult to throw out something like a food processor. I would therefore love to find it a new home. Loving home, hating home, any home works for me. So is there anyone out there with a penchant for tinkering and a desire for a food processor? It'll be just like fixing up an old car to end up with the ultimate wheels, or remodeling a home. A real small-appliance fixer-upper opportunity ripe for the taking! Or perhaps you don't want to fix it up, but merely loot it for parts. That works too! Could a food processor contain the pieces necessary to bring your creature to life? To fulfill any mad-scientist role-playing you've been daydreaming about? Look no further!

I'd also appreciate any recommendations on good food processors that won't crap out after the first batch of pesto. Until I invest in a good one, I'll be making pesto the way my ancestors surely would have, were they not Scandinavian: with a lot of chopping, a lot of squashing, (a little bit of swearing,) crossed fingers, and a blender.

(This is for real! Someone please take my food processor!)

I'm really excited about tonight's dinner. I'm making Summer Minestrone with Pesto. I love minestrone, and I especially love pesto, so I figure it can't go wrong! I just finished making the pesto (using the ancestral procedure I outlined above). In a couple hours I'll make the minestrone. The best part is that I made so much pesto, I was able to freeze enough to have for dinner next week too!
