Or even the world’s second best cook.
Really, the world screams “uncle” when I cook.
Aware of my
I watch what the boys have for snacks.
I pack healthy lunches.
I do what I can.
The boys like all those little packets of drink mix that you add to water bottles. As a treat once in awhile we choose a flavor…peach tea, pink lemonade, grape, etc. and shake, shake, shake for fun.
I was happy to find pink lemonade with added protein that the boys drink with gusto. A little extra protein mid-morning seems to help dispositions.
I then found a drink with a full serving of vegetables! Be still my malnourished heart. What could be better than that? The boys are always a little light on the vegetables.
So we added it to the water.
We stirred.
And stirred.
And stirred.
It tastes as bad as it looks.
Using a goldfish glass might have been a little pond-water foreshadowing…
At least you gave it a shot!
And don’t worry about not being the world’s best, or second-best cook. My mom HATED cooking. HATED. IT. I can count on one hand the different meals she made. I wasn’t too fond of any of them (except maybe the canned ravioli). I turned out fine. I even love cooking, and everyone loves my cooking. Your kids will be FINE! They’ll probably tease you about some of those things when they leave the house and are not depending on you for their sustenance, but it will all be in fun!
Ewwie. Did you taste it? I don’t think I would have been able…
Hmmmm….if it was V-8, you weren’t supposed to add it to water…you were supposed to drink it straight up.
🙂
I was going to make a comment about people in parts of the world who’d be HAPPY to have that on hand to drink…but then, I’m not so sure about that.
That does look a little…unfortunate. But kudos to you for trying!
yum.
That’s just nasty looking. UGH!!!
Would a broccoli cheese dip count? I’m making one Sunday for Monkey’s b-day party 🙂
Hugs you silly girl you.
You actually tried it?!
That looks like something you would have dredged up from your creek.
On a slightly serious note… was it supposed to be a warm drink? It looks like it just needs a little heat to help the ‘silt’ dissolve.
i havae taste-tested that stuff at costco.
and then i had to have a mocha freeze to try and obliterate the taste.
n.a.s.t.y.
“The world screams uncle” Flogging hilarious since my specialty is currently Mac N Cheese, Frozen peas and Frank’s Red Hot.
