    Second soap attempt.

    I wasn't able to find a stick blender in my Wal Mart either but they had them online so I ordered and picked it up in my store.

    A dream coming true...

    EDTA?

    Could someone tell me what EDTA is...used for? I have searched the forum because I keep seeing it in responses, but I cannot find anything to explain the what, or why.It isn't in the acronym list either. I thought Google was my friend but it's of no use either. Thank you in advance
