Better than Jamba Juice
My blender and I have been quite chummy lately. For some reason I have been on a smoothie rampage lately. Every morning that I have not had to work early (breakfast is provided at work) I have been busting out the smoothies. I usually start with 1/2 banana (whole if I'm making for 2, however my sweetie is gone hunting right now) and add whatever fruit grabs my fancy. Yesterday I had a pear from my pear tree. Today I used some blackberries out of the freezer...added a little juice and ice with some flax seed for my health...instant breakfast! Sometimes I use yogurt, sometimes not. I'm dreaming of a veggie smoothie using some V8 or tomato juice...does that sound weird??? It's rainy again today and I am feeling rather glum for some unknown reason. May be I'm missing my sweetie, or the weather...I don't know. I finished embroidering a sweatshirt for a friend, a couple of full coverage bibs for Colt and am making great headway on a pair of Jalie jeans. I have a sewing station set up in the family room so I can watch NetFlix while I sew. My new obsession is Damages and I try to watch a couple episodes a night. Maybe I'll just have a marathon today while I sew. I have one more serving of eggplant parmesan to eat...with Tom gone it's difficult to cook for one. I made this amazing eggplant parmesan and yes, I know I could have froze some, but instead I have been alternating betwixt that dish and a great chicken soup I made last week, so tonight I shall cook something different. Or maybe chinese takeout...we'll see. The good news is that Tom got a 4 point yesterday...shot it while pheasant hunting of all things. Had to use buckshot since he was carrying the 20 ga shotgun. I am thrilled to have fresh venison for the freezer and some pheasant too! We'll be eating good this winter! Well, the machine is calling...hopefully I will have new jeans by sundown!

Whooo Hooo! Share your eggplant recipe please. Can't wait to see the new jeans. g
My father took me hunting when I was little. I guess he forgot that his only child was a girl who hates dirt and cold. My dentist is coming to my yard during deer season, since we have a million of the little so-and-so's in our yard, and has promised me some venison! But right now, I'd go for your smoothie. Enjoy your Damages marathon!
Your smoothies sound really nice - and super-healthy! I'm looking forward to seeing your Jalie jeans - it's a really nice looking pattern!
Hah! I was reading too quickly and thought you were going to make an Eggplant Parmesan smoothie.
I really think those smoothies are tasting great for breakfast. I love anything made up with bananas.
