We were watching World Figure skating championships in the beginning of th is month  on NBCSN and NBC channel.   It was nice to see Johnny & Tara in the commentary, but was wondering what happened to Terry Gannon ?  We both always love to see all three together.  About competitions, I liked the ladies competition this season the most.  The location is Boston, USA, so I was guessing it will be a great opportunity for top two USA skaters to be on the podiums.  Maybe except for France, all the other countries Russia, Canada, Japan, China also do the same thing , when the location is their hometown, usually the hometown skaters who are the top two can get bonus scores.  and this was the USA skater's turn.  Ladies Overall Results  1.  Evgenia MEDVEDEVA RUS 223.86  2.  Ashley WAGNER USA 215.39  3.  Anna POGORILAYA RUS 213.69  4.  Gracie GOLD USA 211.29  ...

Today, I made a banana smoothie ! We had a mixer but I haven't been using it since we bought it a long time ago.  I didn't even open it until today. Somehow, suddenly I started getting interested in smoothie recently. It was my husband's day off today, so he also drank it. Here is the ingredients of the banana smoothie below, Ingredients * Banana -  2 * Plain Yogurt - 4 table spoons * Honey - 2 or 3 table spoons * Milk -  300 cc * Virgin coconut oil  - 1 table spoon * Ice cube -  4 or 5 Just put all the ingredients into the mixer. Also if you prefer sweeter taste, good to put one table spoon of vanilla ice cream over the smoothie. It's very yummy !  My husband also really loves it. For a while , I will drink the smoothie for my brunch , and will make many kind of smoothies.
