Downstairs Flooring

What's up with the flooring downstairs?? I have been asked that a million times, ok, maybe not a million but quite a few. Let me try and give an answer to this question. Moisture was found underneath the flooring that was going to create further problems so the locktech (the wood floor looking stuff) had to be removed. Then came the waiting time to let the concrete dry out. We've finally have come to the point where we made the decision not to replace the wood flooring and instead we are grinding the concrete down to the aggregate and are going to polish and clear coat it. It should look really cool when it's all done! It will be about another week before it is completely done. Thanks for your patience, all your input and for putting up with the mess.

After Workout Smoothie

I just found a great recipe in today's paper for an after workout smoothie. After a hard workout our bodies crave protein and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates replenish your supply of glycogen, which is the fuel stored in your muscles that powers physical activity. Protein helps repair your muscles after strenuous activity. There are a lot of protein powders on the market that you can help replenish after your workout, but, this recipe calls for creamy tofu. Interesting??
Blueberry-Pomegranate Protein Smoothie
8ounces extra soft silken tofu
1 cup frozen blueberries
1 cup pomegranate juice
1 medium ripe banana, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 to 2 tablespoons of honey, or to taste
1 tablespoon toasted wheat germ (optional)

Combine all ingredients in a blender unti smooth and creamy. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate up to 6 hours.
