A surprising strawberry smoothie and a break from the blog
May 8, 2021 11:05 AM
Foods that I didn't care for when I started this blog, but have grown to love:
- Avocado
- Yogurt
- Bubble tea
- Berries and cream (!!!!!)
- Dessert
I mean, I've always loved frozen treats and warm baked goods, but I just never really saw myself as a dessert person. But man, I seem to really be developing a sweet tooth over the past couple of years.
Earlier this week, I invited a friend over for dinner, which of course meant I also invited him over for dessert. I have way way way too many dessert options in my kitchen right now, but we ended up making smoothies. And by "we", I mean I chopped up some strawberries, and he was the one who actually blended the smoothie and decided what to put in it:
- Fresh strawberries
- Coconut yogurt
- Mango smoothie drink
- Vanilla ice cream
- Pina colada popsicle
- Strawberry popsicles
- Sugar
Yup, that's right. A strawberry smoothie with dairy. If you've known me for long enough, you know that I've always hated mixing berries with cream. Whenever I go to smoothie or bubble tea shops, I always ask if they put dairy in their smoothies. I get my strawberry smoothies dairy-free every single time. Just two years ago, I'm sure I would have taken a sip of this smoothie and thought it was gross.
But oh my god, it was delicious.
(Hey, that's four entries in a row where I'm calling my food delicious!)
My little sister called me while the smoothie-making was in progress, and in a shocked tone she said "Jeje, you like pink things now?!"
Yeah, I guess I do.
And with that, I'm going to announce that it's time for me to put the blog posts on pause again so I can focus on other things.
v2! of the blog has been great. I've really, really been enjoying writing these entries. When I first started this blog, it was just a place for me to share photos of the food I make. Food blogs are known for having incredibly long personal anecdotes before every recipe, and I didn't want to be one of those obnoxious bloggers. But I later realized that I just need to write whatever feels right for me. I don't have recipes (yet!), so I decided to embrace the cheesy backstories.
Even though I won't be writing new posts for a while, that doesn't mean I'm totally putting the blog on hold. I've got some fun blog-related projects that I'm cooking up (heh). What will the blog look like when I write my next post? Will there be a v3?! Who knows.
But I will be back eventually.
