Cool Relief in a Glass

Temperatures are supposed to reach a whopping 101 degrees today which means, cooking and baking will be unbearable. And I'm pretty sure that doing the laundry will feel much like being in a sweatshop in Middle Earth. I don't mean to quibble but as a lifelong Seattlelite -- it's dang hot and I need some serious relief.

I suggest we all take our over ripened fruit and make smoothies. No need to crank up the stove. Just open the freezer and grab a handful of ice, throw in some ripe bananas, peanut butter, vanilla yogurt and then pour in soy milk. Blend it all up and enjoy. Ahhhh, relief in a glass.

That's the nice thing about smoothies, you just add in whatever you've got around. If the kids can do it, so can you. Stay cool.
