la sludge

Tonight i got home after 6, didn't have that much time to prepare dinner and decided to use my Vita-mix for the hot soup option. I threw in a few handfuls of baby carrots, a beet, an onion, a couple handfuls of greens, a couple heads of broccoli, not enough water, not enough salt, and not enough spices. I turned it on and let it do its thing...after 4 minutes the soup gets hot from the friction and you're done! I was excited to eat it, as i thought about how healthy it would be (and i thought it would be tasty too)....a BIG NEGATIVE on that one...it was disgusting. I've eaten some gross things..like fresh wheat grass, but this tasted like hot wheatgrass soup. There is a reason they give you the OJ chaser shots when you buy a shot of wheatgrass...and here i was, delaying the process by having it hot with a spoon! The texture was like thick tomato paste, and i just couldn't eat it without the gag reflex.  Scott ended up making oatmeal and the kids were stoked that they didn't have to eat the sludge.
