Potpourri

Ok, so my computer table crashed to the floor yesterday. Thankfully my flat screen monitor was ok. So, today my post will be random and probably make no sense, as I'm sitting on the floor, which makes it hard to type.

Here is a corner of my home. Well actually,my computer desk wall before the crash. I was computing one night late last week and the glow of the computer and lamp were so cozy that it made me get out my camera.


A little project from a couple of years ago using some corrugated cardboard from a packing box, cheap frames and some computer fonts.


Some vegetable barley soup bubbling on the stove. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice after the heat is turned off will finish it.


So, for the next random picture, here is a "green" smoothie. Not green you say? Well, that is because the blackberries, raspberries and blueberries hide the green color that the spinach gives it. Yikes, you say? Nope. You can't even tell.

Try it. My daughter made these for lunch today.




2 large handfuls of spinach leaves
2 frozen bananas
frozen mixed berries
stoneyfield vanilla yogurt(approx. 1 cup)
water to consistency you want

You can leave out the yogurt and just add more berries, bananas and water. Without the yogurt you may want to add add a squeeze of honey or agave nectar to taste. Really this is something you just play with until you find what you love. My favorite is just strawberries vs. the mixed berries. Try any frozen fruit or combo of frozen and non-frozen fruit that floats your boat.
