    also, another favorite smoothie of late:
    OJ and raw Sweet Potato!
    it sounds crazy, but trust me it works and is super healthy.

    IT IS A GOOD THING I HAVE BEEN STARING AT A COMPUTER ALL DAY BECAUSE I THINK MY FIRE SMOOTHIE GAVE ME SOME FIRE BREATH!

    That is a damn bad ass smoothie

    God, it's good to be back home where I can get back into my daily smoothie.

    I AM A CREATURE OF HABITS. I WANT A ROUTINE.

    I would argue that there is nothing boring about a good routine.

    Also, routine rhymes with poutine, which makes it useful when you are trying to write a song about Canada.

    love a routine
    I love my coffee in the morning, my glass of wine with dinner, my movies of an evening
    love walking the dumb dog
    there's a guy who likes routine

    it's weird though how certain kinds of routine can become crushing. The 9-5 office job routine, for me, is emotionally devastating.

    What makes a routine feel healthy vs. not?

    I'm right there with you. I love *my* routine, and forcing it into an office schedule makes me feel crazy.

    My office job routine is 8-6, Mon-Fri and it generally goes by pretty quickly. As long as I'm staying busy and working on interesting stuff.

    It depends on if you enjoy the pleasure of work and challenging yourself. Sometimes I enjoy that pleasure, sometimes that pleasure wears my spirit away like waves on a shore (I'm the shore).

    Food is just growing in the yard.

    We have Cherry - Raspberry - Blueberry (immature) - Pea (immature) - Kale - Spinach - Lettuce - Bugs (protein blast)

    Does anyone have experience with food dehydrators? If I buy one for $30, will it work? I want to make these cherry candy. Oh, and we also have currant, which I think taste stupid unless dehydrated.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    I also want one! Report back!
  • ed_chigliaked_chigliak
    currant makes an excellent jam, fyi.
  • LucyLucy
    I loved my dehydrator. Homemade fruit leather--so tasty!

    i have had to pull back on my hard core smoothie, alternating days between garlic and horseradish. my tummy just couldn't keep up.

    the cayenne pepper, however, is where it's AT. i am quickly acclimating, and suddenly LOVE spicy food (i have traditionally been a wimp in that regard). feeling a bit congested? mix a half-teaspoon of cayenne pepper with a 1/4 cup of warm water- swish it around in your mouth before you swallow it. BURNS SO GOOD! even better- smear some wasabi straight onto your tongue!

  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    one time I accidentally got wasabi on my eyeball and saw Jesus

    If you are tired but have to stay awake, a pinch of cayenne, taken through the nasal capillaries, invigorates the blood.
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    It's also good for sore throats because it increases blood flow.

    Also, Fettuccine with Sweet Pepper-Cayenne Sauce.
