I shoulda gone to culunary school ....

So, today I am experimenting with different juice "shakes" and I am sitting here sipping this new one I made up and kept thinking to myself how to make it better. I do that withe EVERYTHING, drinks, food etc. I can't 'eat' something and not think of how to make it better next time. Even if it is perfectly good the first time around!!! My hubby says its my OCD that does it, I say its just the fact I am a anal perfectionist (he says 'whats the damned difference').

So there you have it, even my homemade Protein shakes aren't safe from my brain. Damn I need another hobby, I shoulda never ever taken that job as assistant chef in the early 90's, it only made my perfectionism worse.

So, was it any good? And, when are you going to share the recipe? I wouldn't mind taking the protein-shake-advice from a shoulda-been-a culinary master!

Hehe I swear I responded to you, I swear I did .. but its gone ....

So what I said was:

When I have it perfected I will share it. Today its ok, not great, just ok. Tomorrow I might add some rosemary or a mint leaf or two. But today its just ok....

Rosemary????? In a protein shake???? Whoa! My expectations have just gone through the roof....that's right, girlfriend, you had BETTER perfect it!!! LOL!!!!!!

I do the same thing with food. I don't make very many drinks, but I do this with food all the time. DH laughs at me because he says he feels like he is being interrogated while eating, about flavor, consistency, etc. I don't even realize I do it that much.
