Smoothie.

Hello friends. I wanted a smoothie, and tried to make one. i added a overly large and unmeasured amount of orange juice, a bit of apple cidar, and some frozen blueberries and strawberries. I put it all in a blender, made SURE to put the top on this time, and turned it on...
and...
it all went ok.
for about half of a second.
then it started foaming and bubbling. out of the BOTTOM of the blender. why? WHY? It was beginning to splatter the room, so i got to the blender and turned it off. Turning it off took longer that i hoped, but I succeeded by trial and error. Then I managed to get the badly leaking blender to the sink and what was left of the partially mixed smoothie poured into the sink. The rest was all over the counter. Using a straw, i sampled some of the dying smoothie in the blender in the sink. It wasn t awful, but i had used too much orange juice.
Then, I figured out what went so terribly wrong.
I had forgotten to put the bottom on the blender. Seriously. Even I didn"t think I was that bad.
maybe I did, I dunno.

Take that, Gigi. It can get worse.
