In the summertime, I love to make smoothies. I have a big garden, and I take a lot of the vegetables and puree them, and use them for delicious soups all winter long. Maybe it's because I'm still not accustomed to the commercial equipment, but at the store I just love our giant mixing bowls. I've watched her make them and made them with her, and mine are never as good. Maybe it's something about the way she mixes them, but they're excellent.
