Going Green!

This morning I made Cousin Nancy’s Mega Smoothie and it was delicious! It consisted of: soy milk, pomegranate juice, blueberries, apple, carrots, ginger, flaxseed, protein powder, real maple syrup—(not Aunt Jemima or Log Cabin, etc., which have no maple syrup in them at all) yogurt, beets, raisins, bell pepper, banana, avocado, pecans, almonds, cinnamon stick, and pear—the normal ingredients. Then for the first time, I added some dark chocolate, peanut butter—and the secret ingredient that Drew and Renee had given to us—during the ‘Tres Amigos’ birthday party—ChlorOxygen!

The morning following the party, I read the brochure about ChloOxygen and found that it helps build red blood cells, increases oxygenation, boosts energy and will permanently stain fabrics, building materials, etc.!

When I put the recommended thirteen drops into a glass of water, it immediately turned the water, the same color of green that is in my hummingbird feeders. Scared that it might permanently stain my teeth green, which is the last thing I need—I used Tony as a unknowing guinea pig, and had him drink a glass of it, first. Yes, I am truly trying to be green, but better Tony’s teeth than mine!

After Tony downed my dark green concoction, he told me that it didn’t have any taste to it at all. So, I then started trying to make conversation with him—hoping to catch a glimpse of his teeth. I then quickly realized that I couldn’t see his teeth at all, because of his thick, handsome mustache. The solution—I had to make Tony laugh.

“Tony, you know how you always tease me about my accent and miss pronouncing things,” I said. “Well, let me tell you this. When I was a kid, about nine years old, I was outside, in the backyard, on the patio, helping, but mainly watching Mom grill her famous, ‘Katie Burgers.’ I accidentally touched the hot charcoal grill, and burned my finger, and I started crying!

Mom immediately came to my rescue! “Nancy, go into the house and bring me out the foille!” I took off running for the house! I truly ran—not skipped, like I do nowadays.

“When I returned with a box of heavy duty aluminum foil, Mom laughed out loud! “No, Doodle Bug, (my nickname back then) not aluminum foil—I meant the tube of Foille—for burns. It’s in the pink bathroom medicine cabinet.”

It worked! Tony laughed out loud, and his teeth were a lighter shade of pale—not green! I was so relieved!

P.S. Kinky is returning to the ranch tonight!
