The classic shake

We have been keeping a bunch of strawberries in the refrigerator for quite a while now. Ramon's mom gave them to us and I really didn't know what to do with them. Ramon doesn't eat them, Ella doesn't like them very much and I grabbed only one or two when I remembered they were in the fridge. They were -about to rot- ripe so I decided to make a classic: The Strawberry Milk Shake. 

I just mixed in the blender 1 cup of milk with 10-14 strawberries and added sugar. It was delicious!

NOTE: I also spent some minutes retouching the picture to get this retro look.

I don't have the green thumb

In contrast with my mom, who surrounds herself with a garden of beautiful plants everywhere she goes, I am not able to grow anything at all. I really take good care of plants, water them and expose them to sunlight when they need it, but for some reason they don't last long. If I try to grow anything the seeds I sow never become a plant so they disappear in the soil forever.

Fortunately I found this succulent and immediately put it on the piano in a little gray pot. Succulents are water retaining plants that adapt themselves to arid climates. I guess you can say they are similar to the Cacti but I think the look much better.
