Recipe for Awesome

[kitsjay]

I was reading an article recently about a new restaurant which opened in the Philippines called, "Van Gogh Is Bipolar". One of the concoctions mentioned in this article was called the "Courtney Love Potion". Unfortunately, it only listed the ingredients, not the measurements, so after some experimentation, I give to you my own version:

Courtney Love Potion

1 cucumber, peeled and diced
1/2 of a large mango, diced
5 mint leaves
1 lemon, juiced
2 tsp honey (I prefer the real kind, with the comb still in it, but I imagine regular will work fine)

1. Throw 3/4 of the cucumber, all the mango, leaves, lemon juice, and honey into the blender. Blend until still slightly chunky.

2. Throw in the rest of the cucumber and stir, then garnish with mint leaves.

3. Enjoy!

Mine came out a yellowish-green which, uh, does not look appetizing, but I assure you that it tastes delicious.

Is it a smoothie or a yogurt kind of consistency? and I'm assuming you eat it with a spoon? (slurping chunks of cucumber is not appealing to me lol)

Speaking of recipes, I made cheap microwave tuna casserole the other night. Consisted of drained cooked ramen, packet of tuna, and a squirt of mayo (eyeballed). I also added a dash of salt and pepper and a packet of parmesan cheese (from a papa johns pizza order awhile back). Turned out pretty good, eat while still hot cause once it cools it congeals and then... not so good.

More smoothie, I would say. Kind of the consistency of salsa.

And heh, I just chugged it from the glass, honestly. That way you get the crunchy bits.

Oooh, that sounds good--for one thing, I saved all those parmesan cheese packets from when I lived off of Dominoes, so I totally can use them now.
