I dont think y'all can help with getting me pregnant. but if you wanna buy condoms for us, go ahead.

Well we can still help with that, if Sitchawl can somehow come up with a way to secretly hole them...

This is getting out of control.

And thus: Back on topic - First cup of office-coffee for the day. TGIF

Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! How can you ever be a good traveler and not eat worms! Or bugs! Or rodents! My rule is; if it can't move off my plate under its own power, it gets eaten!

Out of control is often the very best way to be. We have MUCH too much control going on these days! Let our conscience be our guides, not somebody's rule book!

Does this make me an anarchist?

I agree completely, not being in control every now and then is fun and necessary!

Hooray for all the non-pregnant people

BF lands in Belgium at 2.15PM ... Why does time crawl when you want it to fly by I'll have to find something useful to do. Maybe some cleaning.

In my cup: another coffee (mocha macchiato this time)

[pdurrant]

Coke Zero #2 in my cup.

Me neither!


Ice tea in my mug... Lipton's Instant unsweetened no lemon, no milk, probably no tea either, but it tastes pretty good!

No, this makes you a thinker.

I am back, we have one hour for lunch at home now, then we will go and get petit prince which has a different schedule on fridays.

I did not really want to, or no, that's not right, I wanted to but I was put off by the costs, well anyway, I got myself a shiny new blender (The other one was a plastic old one, so I don't feel too bad). Here the reference for you beppe, but for others in Europe too, because it is not a blendex or how ever it is called, but a philips, with 750watts and a smoothie function which I have tried as soon as we got home, and it works really well, ice cubes were crushed instantly (but I won't use the function much, I get crushed ice out of my fridge). Hopefully it will manage a daily use...
I got it for 99 € at the local supermaket, because there is no amazon in Spain yet, but the amazon reviews on amazon.de were ecstatic.

I got pumpkin, I want to make a soup. I also got kale, a fresh packed julienne, pineapple and avocados.

And my second smoothie of the day is:
1 cup watermelon
1 nectarine
1 cup pumpkin
1 kiwi
1 cup selfmade almond milk (recipe from the website you gave me, beppe)

= smooth and creamy, not too sweet. Perfect for me !

Thank you for the link to the blender. very interesting. BTW here they advice it for 129 so you saved 30! Bully for you.
You know that instead of filtering the almonds you can simply blend them after they have been soaked for a while.

I made Brussels sprouts for lunch, but they come out nothing more than plain food, and it is simpler ( and tastier actually) just to steam them, so I will not smoothie them as main ingredient again. To night I start experimenting with broccoli.

[aceflor]

beppe, can you order here ?

amazon.de link

because they say on the site generally that you can, and that would make, even with the transport fees, a difference !

Yes, please, because that was difficult to achieve . No, seriously

I guess you'll go all MIA on us for the next hours... or is it still days ?

Oh! Broccoli smoothies. Just keep adding more apples and carrots with the more cabbage and broccoli. ALWAYS add a little raw garlic. Not only will it make you live longer, it's like a meal and a drink all in one glass. YUMM. If anyone is interested in raw juices I just published a book on the subject (I'm just an an employee) but the author would love you to have a recipe or two.

Just ask and I'll run a couple past you.

Thank you ace, I am still evaluating different strategies. My 39.99 Girmi (400 W) is busy whirling away. It takes 5 minutes to make a smooth smoothies. Thick.

Hi Mark, my friend from the other hemisphere. No smoothies for me to night. I am smashed flat after the finally successful fight with that bloody 2 ft grass that took advantage of my 3 weeks of absence and a high of 37 C plus the tropical rains. Not only it was tall, but also very wet. Had to scythe it with the trimmer, then cut it down to a reasonable thickness with my cheap electric mower so that now robot can fix it and make it pretty again, in a week or so. Blast. I collected about 1 cubic meter of cuttings. Now mine looks like the worst garden of the village.

To night I just had what I cooked for the girls, that is steamed red mullet fillets, steamed shrimps, creamed leeks from the other night (for me) and mashed potatoes (for them), from a box .

To morrow I will broccoli away. My idea was to make 3 simultaneous assaults on them. All with garlic, but separately with pear, pine apple and strawberries. I will make 4, trying the apple caroted as you suggest. And compile a report.

More than raw juices, I am interested in raw vegetables in the form of pleasant smoothies. It is so much easier to prepare them, and probably healthier also. From the garden/fridge/freezer to the belly by way of a blender. No pots, no pans, no stirring. Whirrrr, there it goes.

But Brussels sprouts are better cooked. I was interested just because I want to have as much variety as practical, both in ingredients and in flavors. I expect problems with the roots that are common in winter. I know that I can always count on spinach, carrots, fennels and white cabbage. Now let's see broccoli. Brussel sprouts are not worth the trouble.
