Smooth Moves

How's the smoothy-making going, you ask? I haven't talked about smoothies in several days now, and you are worried. Is everything okay? Do I still even like smoothies?

Yes, I have been making smoothies, and thanks for asking. In fact, two Sundays ago, I made eleven or twelve, I don't know, I lost count. We were invited over to Dan's for a very grownup yuppie brunch where everyone he's ever met got together in a house with no heat and sat around listening to old jazz records and watching football for two hours before the food was served.

Ethan and I were asked to bring our wonderous chrometastic appliance to shred two tons potatoes for hash browns aplenty to feed the entire city of Oakland plus a super-hungry little corner of nearby Emeryville. And shred we did. We're thinking of starting our own little shredding business: Scissorhands and Kreuger, Shredders Extraordinnaire.

Here's me shredding spuds, wearing my special spud-shredding apron from Greece:

There was also fresh-squeezed orange juice, pancakes made without a recipe, freshly ground coffee, and scrambled eggs mixed with salsa:

Oh, and smoothies, of course.

Here's me, a smoothy, and my special smoothy-colored sweater:

This is smoothy #9, I think:

If you have a blender, I highly recommend this recipe:

1 c. apple juice
1 orange, peeled and in sections
1 c. orange sherbet (use lemon sorbet for a kickier taste (or if you can't find orange sherbet))
1 c. frozen raspberries (unsweetened)

The official name of this drink is Over the Rainbow, but you can name it after me or my sweater, if you'd like.
