Early Morning Maintenance

This isn't so bad. Got a banana, some tea. In a comfy seat watching a little Law & Order. It's a tad bright in here for 7:30 on Saturday morning but I'm not gonna let that get me down. The Quest is in the shop for routine maintenance. Oil change, tire rotation, a few paint touchups to the back bumper and above the front passenger wheel. Hopefully they can figure out why the other cigarette lighter doesn't work. That would be nice of them. Laura is at home doing the taxes. She loves this time of year. Our family is being productive this weekend. I betcha Yuula already sullied three diapers. It's going to be a busy one tho. Car maintenance, file taxes, birthday party, winterguard show on Jersey, my parents, Estler family breakfast tomorrow morning. We haven't all been together in the same place since Laura's baby shower last summer. We were only eight strong then. We've since broke into double digits.

The Ghost Of Jack LaLane

That's an actual photo from our kitchen counter this morning. I don't know what came over me, but we've a bunch of kale left over from a soup Laura made just stirring in the refrigerator fresher, and I been wondering what to do with it. Upon daily browsing of the interwebs I came across a kale smoothie recipe. I barely glanced at the ingredients but thought, "I got some fruits and vegetables just laying around. How bad could it be?".



Now before you say "Uh Oh" let me say that it wasn't bad at all. Pretty delicious actually and while I don't think is the beginning of an alternate lifestyle for us full of supplements and egg whites, I am gonna keep this in mind. We had banana, carrots, grapefruit, yogurt, kale, avocado, coconut and a little orange juice. Then we argued over whether to use the blender or the food processor to smoothify them all. Maybe we just need a juicer. I think I will add eggs next time.



Now I just need to figure out how to utilize the rest of this coconut. I don't even know how a coconut got in the house. I smashed it on a rock this morning like a monkey. Highlight.
