Jun. 16, 2008 Green Smoothie Revisited...
Okay, after the last attempt at a green smoothie, I gave it another shot. Introducing...my second attempt at a green smoothie.
Yes, it is pink. Much, much more successful. I made it with cherry juice, kale, pears, blueberries, and a banana. My Darling Daughter Number One was much happier with this one.
One problem, my blender is not strong enough to completely liquefy everything. I guess if we do not mind chewing our smoothies, it will not be a big deal.

Jun. 4, 2008 My Green Smoothie Adventures...
Here is something to make you laugh. I ventured into green smoothie world today! I followed a little recipe off the internet and then changed it, of course! I did a bunch of strawberries and 2 cups of water, some ground flax seed (dark brown and way too much) and then some kale and spinach with agave nectar.
Okay... The concoction started out red, then I started adding the other ingredients. This became a "brown smoothie" which didn't look good. I think I may have officially lost My Wonderful Husband on name alone. I didn't get a picture (don't ask me why).
My garden has lots of nice organic matter in it now. The flax seed made it smell not very yummy. Darling Daughter Number Two asked if it would be safe to pour it on our plants. I told her that if we are putting it into our bodies, the plants will love it!! Darling Daughter Number One tried it and didn't mind, but she is looking forward to some improvement. My little trooper! I even added some orange juice to "help"! Do not worry, though. I am not daunted! I will prevail (Lord willing) .

May. 5, 2008 My Bread Boo-Boo...
This post is for the two people who still read my blog (thanks Mom and Dad). I have been "missing-in-action" for a long time. Sorry! I have many posts written in my head, but the time never presents itself to get them to computer! I have been spending quite a bit of time studying health and nutrition. I will have to write that blog later.
This was a very important post which I could not wait a moment longer to write. Most of my friends think that I am the "all-powerful, Master Baker". I needed to post this picture today to document that, yes, I too have my fair share of flops!!
Bread disasters can happen anywhere, anytime. You never see them coming (well, sometimes you do). Don't give up! One day, you too will be a "Master Baker" like ME!!

Apr. 28, 2008 Postage Stamp
It happened again! I bought postage stamps in a roll of 100. Did anyone tell me that they were going up??? NNNNOOO! The last time I bought a roll of 100 is the last time postage went up. Did anyone tell me they were going up then? NNNOOOO!!! Is it a conspiracy to get people to buy their stock of under-priced stamps?? Next time I buy a roll of 100, I will be asking if the price is going up first!! |

Mar. 24, 2008 The Sick House...
If anyone ever tells you that pneumonia is not contagious...trust your better judgment! My Darling Daughter Number Two caught pneumonia and was treated for viral/bacterial pneumonia. Of course, that is not what she had, so she was then put on a second round of antibiotics (the ones that were going to treat her mycoplasma pneumonia). (Note the link: spreads easily in situations where people congregate)
Yay, the right drug for the job, but not before the rest of us got sick!! Darling Daughter Number One and Number Three and I were treated for the same thing last Friday. My Darling Son Number Two (my five year old baby) was taken to the doctor on Saturday morning and put on the Z-pak (drug of choice for the fourth time). This morning, My Wonderful Husband and Darling Son Number One went to the doctor and are being treated for ear infection and URI. All treated with the same drug of choice. You gotta love that Z-Pak!
I have to say, it has worked quickly. I finish tomorrow and am feeling great. We are LOADING up the probiotics. Let me just tell you, you have to get the book! My family is proof that they work. I will not go into detail, but trust me. You at least need to start your own research.
As a little side note: I realized half way through today, I have been telling everyone my Darling Son Number One is six. Of course, two of my Darling Daughters realized that and corrected me. How bad am I? I actually said they were wrong. I'll just chalk it up to not being fully recovered  |

Feb. 25, 2008 A Special Dinner Out...
The other week, my wonderful in-laws were visiting. My mother-in-law is the queen of parties! She can come up with a theme for anything. Well, after the deer incident, I was not in the mood to cook supper. She came to the rescue. She said, "Lets do a progressive dinner!" So we created a progressive dinner of all the fast food restaurants in the town.
Okay, have I devastated you? Yes, we made it a point to eat fast food. Really, we looked at it as a "science project". Here was the menu:
McDonalds for fries (vegetable)
KFC for baked beans (starch and protein)
Sonic for drinks (drinks)
Burger King for burgers (main meal)
Wendys for frosty (dessert)
Are you rolling on the floor laughing yet? We learned a few things from this little outing. First, if we are every desperate enough for food and we have to eat out, there are only 3 places on that list we will go. Second, a progressive meal takes a long time! Third, sometimes the memories are far more important that nutrition! |
