Smooth Operator.....

Whenever I look after Sade Sadie, she invents a new game for us.

This one involved making a smoothie, with ten ingredients, some of which had to be a bit unusual/unexpected/barking mad. (After a great deal of discussion, I dissuaded her from adding pickled onions, chilli sauce or boiled eggs. We compromised on treacle!)

Once we'd cut up loads of apples, pears, grapes etc, and added yoghurt and cinnamon, she casually admitted that they don't have a smoothie maker or blender in their house. I was rather alarmed by this, given the amount of fruit we'd used.

As always, Lady S wasn't defeated. She went into the kitchen drawer and gave me......the potato masher.

Smoothies are so last year. Lumpies are the way forward....
