friday five




  • Courtroom drama will never be the same.
  • You've heard of "That Girl" but what about "That Guy (at the gym)?"
  • Joanna reveals 7 lessons she's learned this year. [Number 7 is not just a lesson, it's a universal law.]
  • Dogs do the darnedest things.
  • I'm looking to get serious about protein shakes and smoothies. Any recipes to share?
    Do you have a smoothie maker to recommend? The Magic Bullet?

I love that second photo of the granddog. Says it all.

That is funny - and I loved the dog, too.
Hope your weekend is over the top good!

Thanks for the sweet mention!

I use a Vitamix (won it in a blog contest) for my smoothies, but my plain ol' Hamilton Beach blender works pretty well, too. Here's my protein smoothie fav link: http://bit.ly/hulaYp

Cammy - thanks for the link. My Osterizer seems ok for now -- just takes up a lot of room on the counter. I'm leaving it out so that I'm reminded to make more smoothies.

Here's a link to a short video with tips on smoothie making. Probably basic info for most but I found it really helpful.

From my personal experience the magic bullet doesn't do so well with ice.

Below are two of my favorite smoothies:
