Along with hitting the gym, there have been investigative stops at the local Jamba Juice. They close too early during the week, and it doesn't really fit with our DIY fresh scent anyway....so enter the newest member of our culinary fleet. Yes, we chunked down for a blender after reading up on all the different features, and ultimately inspired by what we saw in Cook's Illustrated. They've done us right on so many other purchases. Wow- this thing makes hella crushed ice in a few seconds! Trader Joe's frozen berries and fruits, some mangosteen juice. I later added a splash of milk to take the tartness down a notch. ok- now for the unabashed product placements: L to R: Odwalla OJ, Muntiki Robot Brains mug, Kitchen Aide 1.75 liter blender, Penguin Soda Siphon, some random bamboo cutting board, signature yelpy glasses (Brian worked there for a few years) and real fruit smoothies (say that like Strong Bad would say it) made with frozen pineapple, mango, blueberries, raspberries. Pina Coladas cannot be too far behind, eh? PS- lest you think it was all virtue, the Trader Joe's cheese twists showed up just after this shot was taken.
