"like a bird, on the slicer..."



Yesterday a bird flew in the building and landed on the meat slicer. I crept closer and closer until I got a really good shot with my phone. Two seconds later it flew away. Afterwards the slicer got washed and sanitized, and the bird was shooed out the loading dock. It was fairly exiting, I must tell you.

Today I made a very tasty Vegan Banana "Milk"shake:

2 Bananas
16oz ice
4oz soy [rice, almond, whatever] milk
2oz organic vegan chocolate syrup

Put it in the Vita-Mix and watch the magic happen. If you wanted it to be thicker, you could add less milk. You could make a fake ice cream treat with the same recipe minus the milk, but it probably wouldn't be that great. If I'd had any peanut butter on hand, I would have added that. Hazelnut butter would be best, but you'd probably have to make it yourself, which is a huge fucking hassle. If you wanted it super chocolaty you could use melted choc-chips, but that would be a shitload of trouble. It would probably help as well to use chocolate soy milk.

Even the people who drink "moo-juice" [a customer said that to me today when I asked what kind of milk he wanted in his cafe au lait. "just regular old moo-juice" he said. i was both bemused and annoyed by it.] really, really liked it and asked for seconds. I love being right.
