I've decided that I'm too obsessive to be a professional packer. It takes me far too long to pack a box. If professional packing was an art form, I might have a chance. When I am filling a box, the most important things to me are that all the space be used, and that everything in the box follow a theme. Some excellent box themes are as follows.
1. Rice bowls, cereal bowls and small plates (things from the kitchen).
2. Christmas ornaments, Jenga and juggling clubs (things from the games closet).
3. Telephones, headsets and digital alarm clocks (things that have speakers).
4. Beef jerky, vienna sausages and dog biscuits (things Cathy wont eat).
5. Concrete blocks, weight lifting equipment and a hydraulic jack (things dogs can't eat).
In addition to me working on making each box just so, we've also been trying to make meals that use up as much of the stuff in the fridge as possible. This has resulted in us making some meals, like snow pea risotto, that we haven't made in some time. We've also had as many smoothies this week as we have had in the previous 6 months combined. Here's my smoothie recipe.
Strawberry-Pineapple Smoothies
2 cups frozen strawberries
3/4 cup frozen pineapple
1 frozen banana (can be thawed)
3/4 cup orange juice
1 six ounce yogurt (any kind will work)
Place all ingredients in blender and puree on highest setting. Pour into glasses and enjoy. Feel free to add more orange juice if you want something that doesn't require a spoon.
