this is that modern...at least the idea isn't, but i hate using the large clunky blenders. So I bought the bullet system. It is so cool, easy to clean up, it goes right in the microwave, and it even has cups so daquaris and margaritas are easy to make and very litlle mess and no huge blender to lug out...
...it's the best thing in my kitchen right now, but he bread machine is in close second...LOL
