i got this "juices and smoothies" recipe book for xmas, which, in all the excitement, i admit i secretly wrote off as a shwag re-gifter. a second look reveals that i stand corrected.
if all goes according to plan, here are some of the virgin cocktails that local and visiting friends will be subjected to in the new year:
fennel fusion . ginger juice . spiced pomegranite and aian pear fizz . mango and lime lassi . rosemary and almond cream . marzipan and orange crush . kiwi and stem ginger spritzer . mango mania . cherry and coconut shake . rhubarb and allspice cream
and my personal favorite, rose petal and almond milk.
(true friends will be spared parsnip pep and broccoli booster.)
the names really don't do these justice without the pictures. still, feel free to write in for recipes!

I was just in a whiney mood, I should expand my explanation. It is not that I don't believe my work is a form of artistic self expression, I simply have momentary feelings of loss for it's inconstancy. The double-edged sword of things that happen live is mighty. In one stroke you create a breathing moment only this audience will share with these performers. In the next stroke you must let it go and almost forget it happened so that you don't trip up in the following performance. I write and it is different, I have recorded music and that too is different. Right now for instance I'm in the early stages of writing a comic (my first) and the excitement is so big it's almost daunting. But preparing my roles for next season's plays is equally important to me. My artistic voice as an actor is a huge part of my creative life. It only saddens when I think of my role as a poem I write every night and burn at the curtain call. The upshot is I will write a new one tomorrow. When you started writing, what did it do for you? How did it first become a need?
Now as for Bunnicula. I really thought it was funny at the time, but they cant all be diamonds. Besides anybody who reads too much into my reference to Bunnicula and an allusion to the Bible in the same subject, could have an interesting time trying to find the comparisons.
P.S. Thanks for the absolution. Now give me a smoothie recipe that you think defines me as a person, teehee.
