Future Beauties

You know, I keep getting accused of secretly being a Muslim extremist, when all I want is my forty acres and a mule that I got promised, heh. Definitely surreal, definitely eye-opening, and definitely fascinating. Well, at least my sunflower seeds are going in nicely, and I’ve had fun fiddling with content management system options for my new site.

    I cannot wait to see what your new ideas are :)

    p.s. I agree with Scienkoptic — people’s alterations do not make them who they are — it is what is inside that counts :) And I will (as always) be happy to have you as a friend :)

    Shannon,
    I think you might get a kick out of this. Friday I decided I was going to try and make veggie juice with a blender.

    I bought bags of broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, differnt blends of veggies, and then celery, parsley, a cucumber, a bottle of low sodium tomatoe juice, and worsteshire sauce.

    It was the first time I have ever used a blender.

    How was I supposed to know I shouldn’t use frozen veggies to make the juice. I broke the blender since it couldnt handle being filled with the frozen veggies.

    I ended up using a salad slicer I bought a while ago – it helped to slice the frozen veggies — however it made them look like baby poop.

    Since the veggie juice did not go too well, and I had a LOT of frozen veggies that were open, I decided to use my crotch pot to make it all into veggie soup. I added a bottle of tomatoe juice (low sodium) and a bunch of worsteshire sauce. Then I left it on high for a few hours. Not only did the veggies become nice and soft, the soup tasted really good. I had to make 3 batches just to use up all the veggies, but it was definitely worth it.

    And this was the first time I created a veggie soup. I didn’t know what to expect. But I was pleasantly surprised that I made a good (and not bland) soup, and it smelled and tasted very good.

    :)

    I figured I’d share that with you, since I know you can cook a lot of good tasting stuff.

    Catch ya later

  10. What camera do you use to take such clear shots? Looking at that picture, I can literally smell the cleanness of the soil. I don’t think there are many things that smell better than freshly tilled soil after a rain.

    My mom grew sunflowers in her garden in Philly – I used to LOVE the fact that the flowers were bigger than me and I had to get up on my toes to pick the seeds. Plus, spitting out the husks was always fun…
