Vitamix Joy!

posted in Autistic Life, Food |

My son, who will not eat a single vegetable (even carrots, potatoes, and corn) will, apparently, drink spinach and bok choy, even in large quanties, if blended with apple juice with the Vitamix.  Woah.  Our other blender couldn’t get it smooth enough to get a drinkable texture for him (we tried, since he will drink the $5/bottle juice off the store shelf of a similar make-up).  Suddenly the Vitamix (our tax refund purchase) seems worth the price.

Tomorrow, carrot ice cream!  (Yes, you can make ice cream with the thing, really good ice cream actually.  Or, you can make “yogurt ice cream” and just blend yogurt with frozen fruit, and maybe throw in some nuts, and the kids will think they are in heaven because they can have “ice cream” for breakfast every day if they want to.)

  • Let’s open our hearts in prayer. Gracious and loving God your son taught us that your kingdom is among us. Yet so often we treat life as something to be gotten through instead of something to be embraced and to be cherished. We look ahead to the end of the work day, to the week-end, to the summer vacation, to retirement, and we forget that the only time we will ever have is now. Open our eyes and open our hearts so we know that we cannot collect the moments we waste and store them for future use, and we cannot hide our love away, protecting it, thinking the ideal time will someday arrive when we can reach into that vast reservoir of love we have saved up and joyfully pour it upon the world. Tomorrow may never come and we cannot relive a single wasted yesterday. Today is all we will ever have. Grant us the wisdom to understand that now is the time to embrace the fragile beauty of life and now is the only time we will ever have to love the people you have placed beside us for this mysterious and beautiful journey. — Gary Cox, pastorial prayer, after his terminal cancer diagnosis.
