I Just Wanted to Make a Smoothie (in Confessions of a Foodie)

Like most foodies, I woke up on Sunday morning and before me feet touched the floor, I figured out what I wanted for breakfast.

“Today, I think I’ll make a smoothie.”

I headed to my appliance closet, because there is no room in our kitchen for all my culinary gadgets, and dusted off the blender.

And, I set out to the kitchen to make a smoothie.

1 ripe banana
¼ cup of fat-free vanilla yogurt (Stonyfield Brand is the best!)
½ cup of frozen strawberries
½ cup of frozen peaches
½ cup of fat-free milk
½ cup of ice

Add all the ingredients to the blender and blend until smooth.

Cupboard check:
Banana….no… but that’s okay. I’m not a big banana fan anyway. May have to add extra fruit later on.

Yogurt….check

Strawberries….check

Peaches…check

Milk….nope… empty milk container on counter. Victim of my husband’s breakfast.

Okay, I’m not sure if I can get around this one. More yogurt maybe?

Ice…go to the freezer. No trays. I spot the missing trays sitting out on top of the refrigerator. This can’t be good. I pick them up and the water from the melted ice proceeds to pour on my head and jammies. The ice was another victim of my husband.

Dry cereal it is.

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
