    Lemon Berry Smoothie

    I made a salad for dinner. I didn’t plan on it being gross, but it was totally gross. I mean, gross in a way-too-good-for-you kind of way.

    I don’t know. I just don’t even want to talk about it.

    But I do want to talk about this lemon berry smoothie.

    Lemon zest + fresh berries + ice cream = sweet, refreshing bliss!

    You can’t get this novelty from one of those ice cream trucks.

    And I’m talking about the ones (OK, specifically the one that I saw today) that is operating out of an all-white conversion van, with scary, too-friendly music playing from the inside of the van, probably on a tape player, and “ICE CREAM” window clings stuck on the side against the wood paneling.

    So I guess it wasn’t all white after all. There was definitely some wood paneling.

    But still.

    You won’t find Lemon Berry bliss there, so when you see that thing pull into your neighborhood, you might as well run.

    I also enjoyed this Lemon Berry Smoothie because it was just begging to be served with some kind of a lemony sugary rimmed glass. I don’t know much about rimmed glasses, but I do know that lemon zest and sugar can, and should be, eaten straight up with aspoon.

    And for the record, fresh strawberries dipped in lemon zest sugar is possibly my new favorite summer snack. Or “light” dessert.

    I dare you to try this. Zest a lemon and rub it together with some sugar. Dip a fresh strawberry in it. Seriously. See if your life is ever the same again.

    I should have dedicated a whole post to that.

    One last thing. I have exciting food blog/photography related news to share with you sometime early next week. Here’s my hint: Photoshop.

    Speaking of Photoshop, I’m curious for all you food bloggers: what do you use to edit your photos? I’m trying to learn Photoshop, but it’s causing extreme feelings of frustration leading to overeating of salted dark chocolate. And I need an intervention.
