Where's the Beef?

Enjoy some pictures of my meat. Emily and I bought four steaks (about a month ago) at Costco. I figured this post would be right up Mom and Dad's alley. If you can't read the label it says this:

Boneless Ribeye Steak
Choice
$35.82
4.54 lbs.
$7.89 per pound.

So what's the deal Mom... is that a good price? Four choice steaks, over a pound each, for about $36.

I had a vacation in Wisconsin

Dear Everyone,

Good morning!

We recently got back from a vacation in WI
(OMG WI!!). We've been in WI before, but
never on a lake. I was the captain of the speed

boat, and I think I did a very nice job.
Mommy got up on water skies while I was

captaining, but guess who didn't??

Daddy and his big butt. Ha ha!
Maybe next time I'll be riding Bruce through
the waves.

BTW, Brucie was here too, but he doesn't
like to get wet.

See you soon.

Love,
Oliver

Mama's smooth!

Here's a new smoothie recipe you need to try. Check it out.

Go Get 'Em Smoothie

Recipe courtesy Nigella Lawson, 2007
Show: Nigella Express
Episode: Get Up and Go

This is truly a weekday special: a breakfast that combines food and drink for people who don't feel they've even got time to sit down in the morning. If the person-in-a-hurry is miniature in stature, and not progressed to caffeine intake, then replace the Camp coffee with a tablespoonful of peanut butter. Extra protein and ultra delicious. I keep overripe bananas, peeled and cut into 4, in bags in the freezer which help give ice-creamy bulk to the smoothie and dispense with the need for ice.

1 peeled banana, cut into 4, from the freezer
2/3 cup milk
1 tablespoon honey
4 teaspoons malted chocolate drink powder
(recommended: Ovaltine, but Mama used Nestle’s Quick.)
1 teaspoon strong coffee or 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder
(Mama used 1 tsp O’Poppy coffee. It’s way stronger than he.)

Put all ingredients into a blender and whiz (that’s not Pee!) to mix.

Pour into a tall glass and drink before dashing out of the door.
