Green Stuff

For several days I had noticed mom putting lawn clippings into the blender. The result was this green, sort of concoction that resembled putting ocean water in and whirling it around. Since my ideas of blender products have always been things like ice cream (first ingredient), fruit, and that sort of thing, the lawn clippings smoothie did not carry much appeal. Then one evening while she was preparing dinner she said , "try it." I got a sacrament sized paper cup and filled it about 1/2 full - certain that this would burn a hole in my esophagus. Then, to my utter astonishment, I actually - well - liked it! It was honestly good. Since then, mom has been blending up any variety of things that have opened my world to a whole new level of health. We are eating better. We are happy. It's like wearing a snuggie all the time.
