30DGSC: Days 9 - 11
Thursday I made STRAWBERRY CARROT PINEAPPLE, which I thought was the SHAUNA’S CARROT CAKE, so I was extremely disappointed when I tasted it. I was so disappointed that I didn't drink it during the day because I thought it was the most horrible recipe ever.
So after I put Toddler!Mojito to bed I made ORANGE JEWELS. It smelled and looked wonderful but tasted absolutely disgusting! I read you should leave on the piff (white stuff) for smoothies. Whoever said that has no god damned taste buds!!! It made ORANGE JEWELS so bad I went back and drank half of the STRAWBERRY CARROT PINEAPPLE from the morning.
Yesterday I made the SHAUNA’S CARROT CAKE for real this time. The ginger was way overpowering, and it made my the inside of my lips tingle in an unpleasant way :o\ I only drank one cup.
Today I might try the ORANGE JEWELS again and peel off that damn piff!
I must say 3/4ths of these recipes just aren't good at all. I will have to start looking for recipes somewhere else if I'm going to make it through this challenge -_-
