It's been a rough little bit. One of the kittens my housemate's cat had got injured (spoiler alert for those who, like myself, can't deal with sad animal stories: the kitty is ok!). Something fell on him and we came in to all the kitties freaking out and little buddy unable to use his back legs. We rushed to the local vet who said we had to get him to Loja (a city about 45min away by taxi) to the animal hospital right away. Still in our pjs, we hoped in the first cab to get there. We found out that little cute muffin had fractured both of his hips. We got him a slew of minerals and meds that will hopefully heal him. He already seems better, though can't yet move his back legs too well. The part that breaks my heart is how sad he is that he can't play with the other kittens!
Anyway. On with a late Day 2 of Love Week post: the Love Potion.
It was hard to get a photo of this drink; it kept disappearing before I had a chance. This was the first true juice I've made. Normally I leave in the pulp and enjoy it as a smooce (smoothie juice). My housemate's blender, a Ninja, is great but it doesn't quite puree harder fruits and veggies all that well. At first we tried to drink it with the pulp. However, that proved a tad bit on the chewy side. So I strained it, and wow was the remaining juice wonderful! I even saved the pulp and ate it with salads and chocolate chia pudding.
To make
