Dear Reader,
I've had a fabulous idea. Emma (a colleague and fellow 60 Day Challenger) and I are teaming up for the mystical pond slime challenge. You see the problem is that a blender makes around 4 serves but those serves only keep for around 2 1/2 days. I'm not so keen on drinking homemade algal blooms that I'm prepared to try it defrosted. And I have some storage issues in my freezer that we needn't go into right now. So... Emma and I are taking it in turns to blend the living daylights out of innocent vegetables. This morning I made 2 serves each (bottled in Decor 1l plastic food/drink bottles - currently about $4 at Woolies!) and stashed them in the work fridge. Which means I'm done until Thursday night! Wooohooo! The bonus is that by working together we're keeping each other on track to make the most of the remaining 6 weeks or so of the challenge. :D
Today's special (which I have yet to have a serious swig of, I'll get back to you in an hour or so)
1 3/4 c. chilled water
1 bunch of spinach (from the Hmong)
1/2 bunch of rocket (also from the Hmong)
1/2 a smallish iceberg lettuce
1 Haas avocado
2 sticks celery
1 granny smith apple
1 pink lady apple
an inch cube or thereabouts of ginger
a small handful of parsley leaves
juice of 1/2 lemon
It only made about 1.4l - it was only a small iceberg so maybe a whole small one or half a large one and an extra stick of celery would be a good idea - I'm aiming for about 1.6l which is about the most I can squeeze into old faithful (my kenwood food processor and blender).
Ciao for now!
