Mr. Grits is pretty much a stranger to fruits and vegetables, so I was surprised when he asked me to bring him home a blueberry-pomegranate smoothie. (Actually he asked for “the purple kind.”)

While I was passing out the chicken sandwiches he opened the lid, took a huge gulp of smoothie, and then topped it up with tequila.

I can’t believe I never thought of that! And it still counts as fruit!


Recipe

Get drive-through smoothie.

Drink some while driving home. Put away keys.

Add tequila! Or rum!

Par-tay. Do not drive again until tomorrow.

That's a great idea! Sort of like adding Bailey's to your coffee to satisfy dairy requirements - yum!

Wrong proportions - it's adding coffee to your Bailey's.

‘I’m Starving’ Dilled Potatoes

Realize that you have no food in the house.

Discover two small red-skinned potatoes.

Cut them up.

Microwave for 5 minutes or until done.

Toss with olive oil, dill, garlic powder, and salt.

Eat them. They’re good.

That does sound good, Grits. Homemade potato chips


Today my dad and I had these to the afternoon coffee. My treat

I think I can handle that one.

Emergency Egg Roll Sauce

Equal parts honey and Dijon mustard, plus a generous squirt of Sriracha sauce. Mix.

Actually I think this would be good on a lot of things! I might try it on toast.

Oreo No-Bake Brownies

Me, my mam and my sister have made them.

Their setting now, will report back with results,we also added some grated Twirls on top

And we´re having waffles today

The oreo brownies were very nice, but very sweet.

Are they supposed to be that sweet or was that an accident?

They did contain a lot of marshmallows.

Just thinking about it is making my teeth hurt . . .

Live a little!

I made this recipe for Deep Dark Chocolate Cheesecake for a dinner party last night. It was the best chocolate cheesecake I have ever had, even though I forgot to make chocolate curls for the top. I served it with fresh raspberries on top and on the plates.

It’s easier to slice using dental floss than a knife. I put the raspberries on after I plated it up so that it would be prettier with no mushed half-berries. It would also have been nice to dust the plates with cocoa powder, but I didn’t think the hosts would enjoy a cocoa dusted kitchen so I refrained.

Ooh, chocolate-y!

Can't go wrong with chocolate! After all, it's one of the three basic food groups (pizza, chocolate, beer). Yum on the raspberries. What a neat idea cutting with dental floss - I can imagine how much easier that makes it to 'get the knife out without making a mess' after you cut!

Also cutting a cake with dental floss turns out to be good entertainment. Of course there were observers who thought they had a better idea, so it turned into kind of a race to get it done before one guy got fishing line out of his trunk and our host found some old picture wire in his garage.

I'm inspired to dine from the other two food groups today.
