Good morning folks! Today’s blog is about something I do unknowingly. Ha, ok I do it knowingly who am I kidding. Which makes me laugh because it is such a bratty thing to do… I’m still giggling. Today you will find out a dirty little secret of mine and I will reveal why, even though it is so fun to do, it can come back and be a pain in the ass. Literally.
My dirty little secret, ok here it is. I’m stubborn, and not just stubborn for things I believe in, silly things. I want to be right, all of the time. Having this trait is my favorite past time to tease/frustrate the people I love most. You lucky devils!
Well, now that I’ve said it, it’s out there. So here’s my story. Kevin and I are on a health kick. We both drink matcha everyday, fish twice a week, eating more veggies (for those of you who know me well you know that’s pretty impressive), working on more fruit and next is getting back to going on hikes. Bikini season is coming up and I have bulked up enough during our not so cold winter eating bag after bag of Miss Vicky’s malt vinegar chips, and I’m not taking the cute little bags, I mean those family sized monsters! Guilty pleasure.
Back to the topic here, health kick. Kevin recently purchased wheatgrass for us so we could start making shakes and fruit smoothies, what a sweetie! He, being the left hemisphere of the brain, is taking the precautious measures to look up recipes. Me, being mainly the right hemisphere, is getting impatient and wants to try to figure it out on my own. Make my own recipe! How hard can it be?
So we decided to make our first wheatgrass fruit smoothie last night. Peaches, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, and an old banana, yum! Add some milk/cream and now for the wheatgrass. Here’s how the conversation went, after I convinced him that we don’t need a recipe to tell us how much wheatgrass to use.
Kevin: “You want to blend the fruit first and then put in the powdered wheatgrass.”
Me: “No, the fruit has chunks, so when the blender starts, the funnel will suck down the powder and mix it in with the chunks. Then while the fruit is being chopped up the wheatgrass will get blended and distributed evenly.”
Kevin: “No, it won't. It’s going to explode on the top of the lid and become a chunky mess on the top layer of fruit.”
Now let me tell you something. Kevin is logically smart. I know this, and unfortunately he knows this. He thinks something through and 99.9% of the time is right. I love him for it, but man oh man does it ever drive me nuts!
Me: “Noooooo, the funnel will suck it down! This isn’t a big deal, it’s going to work!”
Next we have a discussion as to how much to put in. I put a scoop in. We both look at our very full blender and think, 1 scoop for an entire blender? No, no, lets put another. We both step back and look it over. Oh heck, lets add another little scoop. 2.5 scoops, on top.
Blender on, whoosh, and don’t you know it. There are green clumps on the top of the lid and clumps all over the top of the fruit. Kevin bursts out laughing, to the point where he’s crying. Grumble grumble grumble.
Me: “Just keep blending it, it will all get distributed evenly!!”
Kevin: Is still not able to talk over his over laughter… fine by me!
The fruit smoothie turned out great! We had to blend it a bit more than usual, but it was fantastic! The movie ended and it was time for bed. Ohhhh my tummy. Too much wheatgrass.
Moral of today’s story is simple; do not add too much wheatgrass to your drinks because it is a terrible pain in your rear!
