Mutual failures

The couple that fails together stays together.  Wait.  That’s not right.

Yesterday’s green black monster was epically disgusting.  I actually gagged when I tasted it.  I know what you’re thinking…Elise, WHY on Earth did you taste that necrotic infested swamp slush?

Good question.  Sometimes things look gross but actually taste really good!  Case in point: home-made log seitan

So I thought maybe this was one of those things.  But it was not.  Very very not. 

If anyone is considering buying this brand of protein powder, DON’T.  Just don’t.  Unless you have a fondness for eating dirt.  Then it may be right up your alley.  [Sorry North Coast Naturals, your products may have stellar ingredients, but the flavor is MIA]

I forced Kyle to try some just so he could appreciate the nastiness of what I created.  He shuddered and I laughed.  Sometimes I’m not a very nice wife. 

Earlier in the day I took a photo of Kyle’s dinner…

Aggressive much?

Good luck getting your mouth around that one.  He looked like a snake detaching his jaw with each bite.  Ridiculous.  This may seem obvious, but it wound up being eaten in parts.  He’s a boy with manners. 

So.  Whose failure was worse?  In spite of my overly competitive nature (hence the question), I’m willing to concede that his sando was the lesser of two evils.  Although it was completely impractical to consume, it was, at least, edible.  My smoothie was definitely not.  Blech.  My tongue hurts just thinking about it.

    I tried hemp protein 70 by manitoba harvest. Boy did I gag it down and then throw that first smoothie out. I changed up the ingredients and just use banana and some peanut butter and… I actually enjoy it. So, heres hoping your protein powder just needs some smoothie ingredient tweaking!

    Your failure is definitely worse. No offense.

    That sandwich is a monster! The protein sounds like Vega Sport Vanilla…lol. I remember the first smoothie I made literally smelled like the pellets that rabbits get fed. Blech!

    aww that’s the worst when a protein powder disappoints and a smoothie is not drinkable! it does not look great, either, not gonna lie!

    I do commend Kyle for attempting such a grand sandwich–awesome.

    haha, love his sandwich!! And I feel you on the GM..I’ve made some smoothies that left me gagging before. Not fun.

    HAHA.. I actually laughed out loud when I read the line about Kyle looking like a snake eating his sandwich.

    And I’ve tried some terrible things before, but I won’t be trying that protein. Ever.

    I always have to try things I make, even if they look nasty. I’m usually deciding whether it’s worth it to waste the food!

    Bahahaha! Whata sandwich! Laughing out loud at the “He looked like a snake detaching his jaw with each bite.” Omg, I think I just peed a little! O_O
