Here comes the sun (do do do do...)

The summer has finally arrived here! Geesh, feels a little late, I haven't even been in the pool yet this year. Yesterday was about 35. Unfortunately, I was at work. Fortunately we have an air conditioner at work. Cross your fingers that the nice weather hangs around until the weekend. I'm in need of some sun.

I made an amazing Green Monster for breakfast today. It's already like 30 degrees out and I can't bare to make toast this morning. In my smoothie I put:

huge handful of fresh spinach
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 banana
1 stalk of rhubarb
handful of unsalted cashews

It was a gamble, but it paid off. Not bitter at all. Yummy.

I also made mayo yesterday for the first time and it worked out really well. It's basically egg yolks, Dijon, vinegar and oil. Plus a lot of muscle. I grew up thinking that 'Miracle Whip' was mayo, so this is obviously a treat. Simple ingredients. So tasty.
