I omitted an ingredient plus a few steps to make a smoothie rather than a shake and so it would be easier to prepare.

2010 Reading
The Age of Innocence
by Edith Wharton
(a sad and hopeless story)
"It was one of the great livery-stableman's most masterly intuitions to have discovered that Americans want to get away from amusement even more quickly than they want to get to it."
Strong Poison
by Dorothy L. Sayers
"He did not return to his desk, but stood leaning against the mantelshelf. His sleek head, outlined against the drab painted panelling, was a little thrown back, as though - Miss Murchison thought - he were protecting or defying somebody."
