Why you don't use frozen blueberries when making a smoothie.

So I got up this morning and decided that a blueberry smoothie sounded really tasty. I pulled out my "Magic Bullet"-type blender, a cup of yoplait lite vanilla yogurt, and a bag of frozen blueberries from the freezer. I was rushing around this morning because I had to get stuff around for going down to my uncles lake house in Coldwater to spend the night...long story, maybe another time. So I mixed everything up in the blender and put the storage lid on it so I could take it to Jen's while I watch Tyler. Have you ever had watered down yogurt? Pretty yucky!!! That's what this tasted like. I guess the fact that the blueberries were frozen meant that they had water in them, so when they thawed out, it was pretty yucky. Then I tried freezing it thinking that would help, kinda like frozen yogurt. Ya, even worse.Rest assured though, I remedied the situation. I mixed in some milk, and added some raspberries, and threw back in the blender, and viola...yummy semi-frozen berry smoothie. And quite nutritious, too.


I know that I have a tendency to take on a lot of things at once and to say "sure" and "yes" when people ask me to do things. Well, I was asked by a certain woman to help with the directory, and of course I said sure. So there was a meeting last night to go over the layout and choose the design and everything. Imagine six people in a room, all trying to agree on one design and layout. Needless to say it was rather frustrating, everyone wanted something different, I though one of the guys was going to walk out. Decisions got made, I made "executive" decisions that were agreed upon. The point of this rather lengthy story was no the meeting, but the dream I had last night. I dreamt that we were trying to decide on a cover design. Instead of everyone disagreeing, the all agreed on one design, except me. It was atrocious. It was yellow, with a bunch of flowers, not too bad yet, right? The bad part was that it had a stuffed teddy bear on it, not a picture, but an actual bear attached to the cover. It was horrible, and everyone there thought it was the greatest design they had ever seen. Thank God that is not what the design actually is, I hope!!!
