A favorite blogger writes: "What has happened to all the women who are done with child-rearing? Young voices permeate the blogosphere." What do sixty-something women do with their lives, especially if they do not have full-time jobs? We're here to find that out.

Decking and Clearing
Before I can deck the halls I need to clear the decks. Lots of consolidation and removal going on here.
Mark Bittman's little NYT video yesterday about making smoothies reminded me that the freezer is full of random bags of frozen fruit - a good way to work through them. But here's a new twist: I also had leftover cranberry sauce (fresh berries cooked with sugar and a little orange juice and zest) on hand - saving it for what? It was a perfect addition to a blueberry/milk/orange juice smoothie. So good that I think I might cook more cranberries in the future just to have on hand for this.
Now that's a good idea! I thought Bittman's clip was (just this time) lame. Is there a person out there who does not know how to make a smoothie? With fruit? To which you add juice if it's too thick? I miss his tips on making breads and pizzas and paellas and such. It's cold outside. We need comfort foods!
I'm sixty-five. I still live in the same suburban NJ house where I raised my three daughters. They wonder what I do all day. Now they will be able to find out, and so will I.
