I Think I’m Back? Chocolate Banana Smoothie

IMG_5615

It’s been a while.  (By the way, I spent twelve minutes researching the difference between “a while” and “awhile”, and I still don’t understand what I was supposed to do.)  But that’s okay.

So, I’m back.  My hiatus was tied up in something, but I’m not sure what.  Oddly, what inspired me to sit down at my computer today were the last two hours of S-Town, Blade Runner 2049, being informally diagnosed with a serious mental illness by a management consultant, and next week’s okonomiyaki recipe.  And I wanted a safe place to confide the concern on my French teacher’s face when I told her that the only words I knew before I started her class were ”grapefruit”, “orgasm”, and “potato”.   (pamplemousse, la petite mort, and pomme de terre.)     

*General housekeeping:  I will be posting on Thursdays now instead of Tuesdays.  And, whenever I can, I will post nutritional information.
