august 7: when life hands you lemons...

when life hands you lemons, make lemonade! so when life hands you a quart container of young coconut meat, make a coco-nana smoothie! with cacao and maca! because when else is this going to happen? (one of my students gave it to me today! how nice! how yummy!)

so i've been drinking this tasty rich thick shake all day, and it's really nice and i'm really enjoying it, and i can't wait to finish it. it's too complex. the cacao has got me too high. i have no idea if i'll be able to sleep tonight. a 5-ingredient smoothie is just ridiculous to me now. i'm slowly but surely working my way through all the massive amounts of produce i bought this week (crazy shopper!), and there's this HUGE watermelon, just waiting patiently. i can't wait to get through all this other stuff - i've got this coconut-banana-cacao thing to finish, and then the rest of the mango-nana from this morning to have tomorrow with the last of the celery, and 3 nanas that won't be good past lunchtime tomorrow. and then - it's watermelon time! i'm going to mono-meal that watermelon until it's good and gone, and i'm gonna eat it all the way down to the green of the rind and i'm gonna make big vats of watermelon juice and it's gonna be goooooooooooo-ooooooood! i can't even begin to describe how good plain plain plain watermelon sounds to me right now.

i'm high as a kite right now. yeesh.
