Okay I had a smoothie the other day from one of those coffee stands and I'm hooked. It sort of had the texture of a creamy slushie, except it didn't taste like Mountain Dew or burning cherries. I didn't know that coffee stands did smoothies, much less that I would enjoy one so much. It was like eating a shitton of candy except you don't feel like a slug two hours later. I suppose fruit is sort of the candy that we were intended to eat or something.
The best one I've had so far is the accidental one in whatever tiny village is in between Poulsbo and Port Townshend, they used ten frozen strawberries and a fresh banana, some yogurt, and crushed ice, and a 16 oz. cup cost $3.50. I drank it all, got two brain freezes, and felt pretty damn good for the rest of the day. It's almost like the sushi effect that I get, where about a half hour after eating a bunch of fish I just feel damn great. Except cheaper and with more sugar.
I went to a stand in-town, and so far the better one is in Whereverthefuck. The one near the bowling alley here (I'll get the name of it later) was good, but they didn't have any bananas, so they used flavoring. It still tasted good, it was just obvious that it wasn't a real banana.
I care about food a lot more than I used to. Just a few years ago I was absolutely fine with eating a pre-packaged microwavable cheeseburger-in-a-box, and now I'm eating sushi for chrissakes. Not that there's anything wrong with sushi, it's just one of those things that is frequently talked about by people who wear trenchcoats to school and talk about Sailor Moon in ways that make general society profoundly uncomfortable. I would like to take the opportunity to say that the only time I've worn a trenchcoat was because a friend of mine got one (He's allowed, he's native american and enormous(not fat)) and I wanted to wear it in a grocery store while looking menacing.
I only wish I cooked things more. When I do it's really hit or miss, either I completely fuck something up and we end up with "Alex Chips" which are overdone quesadillas that segment apart like they wished they were the Soviet Union, or I make a garlic alfredo that actually inspires visions of the lord. Practice makes perfect I guess, I just need to actually bother to do it.

ALEX CHIPSSSS
Did you have to use Sailor Moon? Couldn't you have said DBZ or something?
You know if you like sushi Alex you could make onigiri, cuz you can put meat in it and it's shaped like a triangle.
I dunno, there's really no motivation for you to cook maybe? I know I love cooking at your house... there's so much space now... and a stand mixer. I had a fun time baking on Tuesday too even if I was a little rushed.
Yeah, that stand was pretty great. Seriously, I need to actually try coffee stands around here that aren't Starbucks.
