Berry Smoothie

Craving of the day! Combine: 1 C. vanilla yogurt, 1 1/2 C. Milk, 1 tsp flax seed, 8-10 frozen strawberries, 6 frozen dark cherries, 3 squirts clover honey. (see - i didn't forget St Patty's Day - I've got some CLOVER honey in there....see....see...er..) Blend until smooth.

Delightful Finch HATES the blender. Instead of running away from the loud, scary noise (like my other kids did when they were little), she runs straight for the noise and then chews you out for making such a racket.

Strong Bear said, "I don't like it." ...meaning that he'd rather drink it from Mommy's cup than his own. "I want some....I want some." Delightful Finch ranked the berry smoothie right up there with avocados! (That's 5/5 stars on her food list. Nothing's higher than an avocado.)

Three cheers for Sexy Haqon for insisting on getting a blender for smoothies!!!

Pbbbbbbbbbbth!

I scored a nice Ameda breast pump on freecycle.org. Haqon drove an hour to go pick it up. What a sweetie!

My latest craving: potatoes smothered in cheese. Dad used to steam potatoes and throw cheese on for the last couple minutes. Steamed cheese is....heavenly! Throw some Spike on top. Mix up some fry sauce for dipping. Yum! College taught me to spoon cottage cheese on top. Broccoli, too, if you want it to seem more nutritious.

I just spent 10 minutes recording my darling kids blowing raspberries for posterity! Yay for sound! I'd hoped they'd be so embarrassed watching the video that they'd do something less icky next time. No hope. They just laughed...and pointed out who was in the video.
