I bought a step-down transformer, so now I can use (almost) all of my American appliances that were in my shipment. Since we're on higher voltage, I need to plug in a series of adapters in oder to use everything:

The transformer into the wall> then a converter for the transformer's European plug> then a book to prop up the adaptor> then whatever I want to actually use. The whole things looks kind of dangerous. I'm just trying to keep the rigging away from water....



First up, the blender. Making passion fruit juice is a pretty messy endeavor, but worth it. I think my first batch turned out pretty well. Better than my lemonade from hand-squeezed (and I do mean only with my hands) lemonade.
