That does sound delicious. Sadly I do not make smoothies. I like them, but I do not like the cleanup. Maybe there is a trick to it, but I hate scrubbing the mixer clean afterwards. But when I get them, I usually get them with kale rather than spinach. Have you tried that?

Well, Master Shifu did say that you can also get there through pain and suffering. You do kendo, so maybe that method would be easier for you? 😉

@GoLLuM13 I thought I'd tag you here because you may like that joke. It is the right level of innuendo 😉

@DoctorEldritch The Nanny, I love this TV Show 🤣

[DoctorEldritch]

@GoLLuM13 The Nanny is a classic, one of my favourites too!

Is there a French version? Wikipedia does not say there is, but maybe it just does not know. My homeland has its own version of it, but after I watched the original one, I was surprised about just how much better it was compared to a very mediocre homeland adaptation.

@DoctorEldritch if by French version you mean a dubbed version, the answer is yes (it's the only version I watched) it's called "Une nounou d'enfer" which can be translated by "One hell of a nanny" meaning "A wonderful nanny"

@DoctorEldritch I use a hand blender. It's not too annoying to clean, unless you wait until stuff dries up on the blade, then requires some scrubbing.

@GoLLuM13 I meant it more as a regional remake. Like Ugly Betty is the American version of Colombian Yo Soy Betty, la Fea, but that show had a lot of regional remakes. India, Germany, Poland, even Georgia made their own versions of it.

The Nanny had that too: Italy, Mexico, Turkey, Russia, Poland and some other countries all filmed their own versions of it, adapting it to regional settings as well. But I could not find if the French version of it exists.

But the dubbed version is still good. I am glad that you liked it, how was it in terms of gag translation? Humour is famously one of the hardest things to translate while keeping both the meaning and the comedy, and Nanny has so many word gags. I hope that not too many jokes were lost in translation.

@Saka I have one of those stationary blenders that looks like a big jug with blades at the bottom. It is good, but not too convenient to clean thoroughly around the blades, so I usually make things in it that are not as thick as smoothies. I may look into the hand blender option, but I was also intrigued by those new ones made specifically for smoothies where the jar where ou put ingredients also ends up being a smoothie bottle. When summer comes with fresh fruits I may give it a try.

@DoctorEldritch I like how versatile the hand blender is. Sure, it isn't best for everything and not necessarily the most convenient. But you can do almost anything with it.
