Weekend Things
>> Friday, March 29, 2013
Happy Friday! Starting off the weekend with a slurpable smoothie made with green beans. We have a ton of frozen green beans on hand these days as part of our frozen CSA stock. I was out of spinach one day, but wanted a green smoothie . . . so I figured why not?
Like with all sneaky smoothies, you don't taste them one bit.
// Chocolate Green Bean Smoothie //
1 cup frozen strawberries + 1 cup frozen green beans + 1 medium banana
+ 1 cup almond milk + 1 tablespoon almond butter + 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
+ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract + coconut flakes (optional)
// Sole Mate //
I finally, FINALLY found my marathon training shoe.
Traded in the Saucony Virrata for the Brooks Pure Flow.
Review soon! I'm psyched. They're so comfortable + fit really well!
// Cherry Pie + Damn Fine Coffee //
Been watching Twin Peaks on Netflix. An old favorite.
We also watched This is 40 -- 10 more years, but hilarious!

Why didn't I find this tutorial sooner?

So, if you like to cook. I have a secret for you.
One-piece silicone spatulas are the ONLY way to go.
I only learned this recently. They're all I use. For everything.

Writing Chapter Three was relatively quiet this week due to some technical difficulties. But I did write about our little daredevil's very first emergency room visit (re: battery mention in last week's post) and a funny book for parents called Parenting: Illustrated by Crappy Pictures.
Have a great weekend!
