We were both close, though. You, however, avoided the misspelling and
I didn't. I've never had any other food processor than a fourteen-cup
Cuisinart and now I've got one at each house. Until I got my Kitchen
Aid stand mixer I really regretted not buying the CA whisk attachment.
Now I've got one very similar to the CA one for my Magic Mill.
