i'll be away for a bit

what a beautiful "day before i have to have dental surgery" day!

it's so bright outside that it's blinding! the sun is bouncing off the snow and it almost hurts! we've had several walks and several hottub dips. i am having dental surgery tomorrow so i may not be able to blog or get to your blogs for a couple of days.

jambaloney got me a present for after my surgery. have a gander:

it's a nutri-bullet system. the thing about this that is different than a juicer or blender is that this can pulverize anything - like chia seeds, frozen fruit, flax seeds - any kind of seed! we have been using our green star juicer pretty regularly but it can't do seeds. and i am going to need lots of protein from seeds in order to heal up well. he also got me a pile of baby food, little apple sauces/grape sauces/strawberry sauces and some smoothie mixes - i'll be well taken care of for my healing period.

so get ready for blog posts showing many, many, many different smoothie-type things - bahahah! today we are loading me up on protein as my last hurrah for a few days. we're having bbq'd steak with a spincah, mango and avocado salad. and then later, the roast that i put on this morning will be for supper. we are praying we have enough "big-enough" potatoes left to make my favourite mashed potatoes and gravy. it's pretty cool that we had our own potatoes from july to now. we still have lots of little ones for roasting and we have a ton of seed potatoes! we've pretty much got potatoes nailed! so this year, we'll be trying to nail some other stuff.

allrighty - just wanted to let you all know that if you don't hear from me for a week or so - it's just because i'm healing up and drinking lots of different kinds of smoothies and juices. i'll probably look like a glass of juice by the time i'm healed.

we're sending our best to all of you out there! have a great rest of the week!
