I've been watching the discussions of "food processors"
(sounds like something you might attach to the UNIBUS)
with some interest, because I think I might want one.
The postings make me wonder whether having a food processor 
completely eliminates the need for an electric mixer.  
I have neither.

In particular, I'm uncertain as to whether
a food processor can be used to whip egg whites into meringue.
I know from one aggravating experience that a blender
is no substitute for a mixer when whipping eggs.
Afterwards, I read in *Joy of Cooking* that blenders just won't do the job.
Would a food processor have worked ?

Are electric mixers used at all these days ?
