Blenders are like that--they handle smoothies better and "drink" type of stuff. A food processor is pretty much fuss-free and clean-up isn't a hassle--it's fast and painless and NO SPLATTER!!!

1. Yes, I cook them together, just add them in at different times related to cooking. If something takes longer to cook, then it goes in first. Everything is done together, though, in the same pot.
2. No, alot of water is not involved. I use about a cup.
3. You choose the veggies based on what you think may be safe for you you, and the quantities. Start small, log, etc. There has been a lot mentioned re: personal safe veg. tolerances. With a source of soluable fiber, veg. purees are highly favourable for me. Initially, I couldn't tummy as much as I do now. So, start small if you endeavour upon this venture. Only do it if you are stable.

Ooops! I forgot the last question!!!
I'm Canadian--from Waterloo, Ontario. Where do you hail from?
P.S. I hope I was a little helpful. I can't believe that I actually do a "half-assed" job faking cooking. I'm impressed that my own cooking is not only palatable, but DOESN'T KILL ME!!! Seriously, though...I didn't consider touching a green thing for years until I saw an episode of "THE SURREAL GOURMET" on Food T.V...and then I hijacked my food processor and have been playing with veggies ever since!!! The episode involved making moles of untraditional veggies, i.e. beets, broccoli, etc. and presenting them on a painter's palatte. I thought...hey...something like that could be safe for me...with a little rice or whatever (rice is mostly what I eat). And it was--well, not the broccoli, but that's just me, personally!) So, that was my inspiration for reconsidering veggies after a required long hiatus from veggies in any shape or form.
