I decided to make a smoothie this morning, sweet and yummy and full of vitamins -- and easy to make.
I started with the recipe from the back of the bag o' frozen fruit. And promptly changed it. I doubled the fruit, or did I? I added the ice, for good measure, just an extra cube. Add the splash of apple juice and Voi la! A smoothie is born... NOT!
First there was a burning smell from the motor of the blender. So I shook it a bit, hoping to dislodge the piece of ice that was apparently stuck. That worked for about a nanosecond. Then I turned it off, then on, then off, then on. You get the idea. Took a while, but long story short ... I ended up adding a lot more apple juice, and finished with a LOT of very sweet smoothie; enough for me and Ken to each have some.
Then I was cleaning up, I asked Ken for his help. "Honey, can you please climb onto the kitchen counter and wipe the smoothie off of the cabinets and the wall above the window?"
"Umm, sure." ( I love him! He asked no questions!) Clean and good to go.
Please note, gentle reader: Do not EVER stick a knife into a blender while it is on and the lid is off.

It was rather difficult getting up on the kitchen counter to wipe smoothie spatter from the wall and cabinet. It did take talent to get it up there, though. You hid it well. I didn't know that it had happened until you told me.
Well, I have a very expensive "blender" at my house that makes awesome smoothies. Next time the urge hits you, you need to stop by so we can all enjoy them.
Hi Amy, thanks for dropping by today. I love it that you're from LV - I can see you hang around some pretty good company.
Ummm, they don't let you have power tools right? Way to go on the smoothie though...I love eating them and I haven't been doing it enough lately.
