The Periphery of the Mind

Maryanne and I had planned on going to Tulsa this weekend, but between gas shortages and price spiking, the idea of taking a fun day trip seemed kind of wasteful. Instead we stayed home, cleaned house, bought some -nice- living room furniture on the cheap, started church hunting, and had a small cook-out last night. Grilled some more marinated chicken, made some so-so bread, and fixed up some smoothies as well. There were a couple of other dishes, but they were pre-made stuff, and don't count. Once we get a kitchen table set, and the garage cleaned, it'll really feel like home.

And for those who are interested, my great experiment of the weekend....

D.J.'s Strawberry Smoothies

• 5 parts frozen strawberries
• 3 parts -lightly- frozen yoghurt
  
• 2 parts orange juice
• 1 part milk
• add sugar to taste

Put it all in a blender, blend completely, and serve immediately.
