I have an announcement

I have an announcement to make.  You'd better sit down. 

Sitting?

Ok.

I just ate a banana.  

I know, I know, this is not unusual for you.  But for me, having reached the ripe middle age of ### and never eaten a banana, I didn't know what would happen.  Oh, I just remembered that I accidentally ate several pieces of carmelized banana in 1990.  That was a trick so it doesn't count!

I am still living and breathing. 

It wasn't so bad even.

Want to know what prompted me to do it?

I have a recipe for an "Eat your greens" smoothie that calls for: baby spinach, blueberries, pomegranate juice, soy milk (I used almond milk) and flaxseed and half a banana.  I really wanted to try out my new NINJA Rule the Kitchen blender and make a healthy smoothie.  It was really very good.  I wouldn't have known I was drinking spinach if I hadn't put the ingredients in myself.   

I may even do it again!
