I always put salsa on mine. Yumm

Another place I wanted to add is all of the jip-joint Chinese restaraunts. EVERYONE in my school loves them. I just don't get it. Super soggy fries, freaky shaped chicken, eggrolls dripping with grease.... Even if I wasn't a vegetarian, you still couldn't pay me to eat something from there.

I love olive oil! It's the only kind I use when I cook. My favorite thing to cook in olive oil is probably sauteed mushrooms. Mmmm

But I only use 1 or 2 teaspoons of it when cooking because I can't stand very oily, greasy food, regardless of what kind of oil it is.  I'm just anal like that.

Original Post by johnnypenso:

I've never made a smoothie believe it or not...lol.  Lots of protein shakes but it's not the same.  They both sound good though.  Do you use a blender?  I don't have one but I have a wand blender and a food processor....can I use either of them?

I use a hand blender now because my regular blender was SO hard to clean. I'm sure a food processor would work fine. Whatever you use, just make a smoothie ASAP!
