I've been sucking down the fruit smoothies like they're going out of style. My freezer is filled with frozen mangos and açai, we have lots of yogurt and fresh berries in the fridge and bananas everywhere. I told Michael that we should seriously consider growing a banana tree or two but he was quick to point out that 1. we don't live in the right climate and 2. banana bunches are big and they'd all go ripe at the same time which in turn means that they'd all go bad at the same time. And even if I had my worm bin in place, too much is too much. My worms (at this point they exist only in my imagination) would be looking for new real estate, something walking distance to a variety of restaurants, not just the banana cafe.

My worms are part of my garden obsession and my garden obsession is only slightly more consuming that my smoothie obsession. I've bought a hemp protein supplement to add to the smoothies and I always put in a palm full of bee pollen. I can be spotted morning and evening tending to plants while consuming a very large tumbler of blended fruit.

I don't know what's happening to me, it's like a crack addiction. I'll make a smoothie in the morning or at lunch, that one is to share with Michael.Then, in the evening, when Michael has pedaled down the street and is safely out of sight I'll whip up another one. I want to offer them to neighbors or passers-by. "You want a smoothie? I have extra or I can make one just for you. What kind of fruit do you want?" I might need to cut back on the bee pollen a bit. But hey, seriously, if anyone has any smoothie tips and or suggestions, let me know. I've gotta go, my blender's calling me!
