And as for the Oprah chai, I have been wondering what it tastes like....as someone said above, I don't like it too spicy either, but I am curious. <br />Referring to Carol's comment: That sounds tasty! I have tried blending a frozen banana, carrot juice, cocoa powder and a little milk and ice to make a milkshake. This recipe may sound gross, but the end result is so good. Ya know, if you're trying to be healthy. : )<br /><br />Sarah P. from Iowa Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-55785335150485418832014-04-30T12:45:07.389-05:002014-04-30T12:45:07.389-05:00Katie is a doll... my favorite part of that photo ...Katie is a doll... my favorite part of that photo is your real-life home. :-D The rumpled rug, the wad of paper that missed the basket, the piles on the dog kennel.
