EMAILS.....MY FAVORITE FORM OF COMMUNICATION:))

GODERICH HARBOR ON LAKE HURON NORTH OF BAYFIELD

I think windy, cold, & rainy days are just Mother Nature's way of telling us to stay inside & get caught up on all that stuff we've been neglecting while outside enjoying her nicer weather. This morning was one of those mornings to take care of computer maintenance. Updates, scans, tweaking, installations, peanut butter sandwich's, de-fragg, system clean-up, compacting folders, coffee, re-starts, trouble shooting, un-installs, & just some plain good old fashioned cussing thrown in for good measure when the computer stuff doesn't go well. Gotta have that good measure factor you know:))

And judging from the feedback on Friday's blog, To Hat or Not To Hat.........I had better keep the hat.....& the hair!!!! 10-4:))

Lot of talk on the airwaves lately about a site called Twitter so I downloaded it about a month ago to try out. Not really sure what all the fuss is about but I did download something yesterday called TweetDeck & that made Twitter a bit more interesting. It interacts well with Facebook & you can have both sites side by side on the screen which I thought was kinda cool. I think people with cell phones might use it a lot.

Never cared for cell phones much because it just seems too hard to read the numbers & stuff. Never been much of a phone person anyway. Emails are my favorite form of communication because they give me time to think & quietly compose something in the comfort of my own mind. No pressure to come up with hurried answers. Thoughts can be changed, ideas added. I can go have a peanut butter sandwich between lines & no one even knows I've left.

Blogging is a bit like emailing. In fact I type all the blogs in our Outlook Express email program then copy & paste them to the Blogger format. I find that a relaxing way of doing things & if I don't finish it I can always save it to draft before picking it up again later..................................

SOUNDS YUKKY - TASTES YUMMY

GRAND BEND........ABOUT 20 MINUTES SOUTH OF BAYFIELD

I first posted this on the blog last summer & since then nothing has changed so it's still current. A lot of RV people seem to be really food oriented so this is my little contribution to the food coffers. The following is a concoction of things that I whoop up every morning for breakfast & been doing it non stop for about a decade now. It has been many, many, years since I've had a cold or the flu or even been sick & I attribute that directly to the following morning shake routine:))

"Sounds yukky-Tastes yummy!!"

One 5 cup blender required & that's where all the ingredients go into:

Add: 1 banana
1 heaping tablespoon of mixed soy & whey powder
(I mix strawberry soy & vanilla whey to-gether)
1 small tablespoon of ground flax seeds
1 small tablespoon of ground raw sunflower seeds
1 small tablespoon of shelled hemp hearts (if I have them)
1 small tablespoon of oatbran
1 small tablespoon of wheat germ
1 big gob of large flake oatmeal
Are you still with me?? I usually combine the flax, sunflower, & oatbran together after mixing them in a coffee bean grinder.

Now comes the veggies................

1 big lettuce leaf. (romaine is best)
1 medium sliced carrot
1 medium sliced celery stick
1 cored apple including peelings

Your blender by now is about two thirds full. To all this I add skim milk to about the half way point in the blender. Hit the "on" switch, buzzzzzzzz, & "WALLAAA" I have myself one mighty fine tasting soy/whey shake every morning.
There are variables here & it doesn't hurt to experiment by adding or subtracting things. Apricot juice instead of milk works great as does orange or apple juice. If strawberries, raspberries or clementine's are in season, I throw a handful of them in as well. Seedless grapes work. If you want to slant the taste towards carrots, just add more carrots etc. The core ingredients for the soy shake though are the banana & the soy or whey powder. From there you can build whatever masterpiece you wish. Throw in some broccoli, etc. (think outside the box:)) Someone suggested apple cider vinegar once so I tried it......didn't work:((

But you can see now why I call it, "Sounds yukky-Tastes yummy!!" I know it's going to be hard for someone to get past the fact that your mixing milk & lettuce to-gether for example, but you've got so many other ingredients in there that you don't even notice the lettuce/milk factor. To me it simply tastes along the lines of a vanilla milkshake. I'm not kidding about all this, I really do mix up & drink one of these great shakes every single morning & have been doing so for about 10 years now. So good luck & happy yummy yukking........................................:))
