Green Smoothie

I just dusted off my old red, white, and chrome colored Oster blender and made my first green smoothie of 2015.

  • 2 cup filtered water
  • 1 bunch Italian parsley (flat leaf parsley)
Blend the water and parsley on high for about a minute or two until it is mostly liquefied. Then turn down the blender speed to low and begin adding the fruit.
  • 1 banana
  • 1 orange
  • 1 cup of pineapple
The fruit liquefies quickly, so as soon as the last chunk of fruit goes in the blender, it only needs a few seconds and it's done. It makes about 30 oz of smoothie. A really big amount for the thirsty, or perfect for two. Serve and drink immediately because it'll start to separate as it sits. If you need to store for a bit, give it 5 seconds of blending before serving.  It doesn't really keep more than one days, so only make what you are going to drink.

The pineapple is the X factor. after you cut and dice about 1/3 of the pineapple, the rest of it only lasts for about 3 days.  So, buy a pineapple and have green smoothies three days in a row and you're golden.

Confusion

Today I realized how confused I am. I made the link between the difficulty of facing and trying to figure out all of the really hard stuff, and the ease of just ignoring it by eating/drinking/interneting/avoiding.

I'd rather face the confusing hard things and take them on while coming clear and whole. Within my confusion is a "don't know what to do" "don't know why to do anything" "don't know where to go." It's paralyzing. I'd rather face them but I feel stuck.

I do know that being fit feels good. I know how to get fit. I don't know how to stay fit, but that is another subject. I'm confused and don't feel good.

I'm going to get fit. That I know, and it feels right.

Commuting to Work by Bicycle

This morning's commute to work was seven minutes. The bike ride back home was ten. It's a wee bit o' downhill on the way to work.
