I have a good-lookin’ family! They’re currently on a boat, going to San Francisco to see fireworks!
I am home alone where it is quiet!
Smoothie Fail
I swear we were not stoned. And I should have taken a photo, but I didn’t. I was going to make a smoothie and asked Ed if he would like some and he said sure and we discussed whether or not there would be a way to incorporate coffee into a green smoothie. I’m up for it, I say. We didn’t have any bananas. I don’t know what I was thinking. I tossed in some spinach, some mango, some protein powder and a splash of soy milk, and a generous amount of coffee and gave it a whiz in the Ninja (NINJA!). It was really terrible. Godawful. Not wanting to toss the whole thing, hoping I could mostly mask the coffee flavor, I threw in some frozen strawberries, some vanilla protein powder, a little more soy milk and whizzed it up some more. Not that great, the coffee wasn’t very obvious but it was still sort of gross. So I added a whole lot of chocolate syrup. Well, at that point, it was do or die. It was a hideous color, but I had managed to make it… almost not bad. Ed said it tasted like fruity dirt. I said it might be a contender for this article, we could take a photo of it with a big pile of Nutter Butters around it or something. That article, by the way, alternately horrified me and delighted me. One of the drinks was the sugar equivalent of eleven bowls of Cookie Crisp cereal and Ed and I sat here trying to imagine eating that much Cookie Crisp. First of all, you know those boxes have about 2 1/2 bowls each, so 11 bowls would be like, 4 or 5 boxes! Ha! I was glad to see that I don’t ever drink any of the things on that list. I have had the stupid Starbucks frappucino in a bottle things a few times, but they’re sort of terrible anyway.
