Midst the clutter, I try to always keep a place for guests to sit, and something quick to fix to eat in the frig or freezer. And of course to drink -- but somehow that has never been a problem around here.
Yes, there's a bit of clutter around, but I've found that by just keeping those two things readily available, those people I call "friend" are still comfortable dropping in unannounced, knowing that they'll get a warm welcome. And, after all, that's what it is all about, right? Good friends, good food, good drink.
My secret for girlfriends is chocolate banana shakes -- covers both the eating and drinking. Just peel any bananas that get too ripe for eating and freeze 'em in a freezer bag. They'll keep for months (but mine never last that long). I can whip up a shake in less time than it takes me to make tea. Give it a try -- this recipe makes 2 small shakes.
1 1/2 cups soy milk (or use regular, but I prefer the soy)
2 frozen bananas
1 tsp vanilla
2 tbsp cocoa (I prefer Hershey's or Ghiradelli's)
1 tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of your choice
Blend in blender on puree until slushy and all the banana is crushed. Note: if your bananas are hard-frozen, you may have to start the blender on chop to break them up.
Serve, preferably in metal glasses for full effect, and with straws. Yum!
