Pseudo Food

As reported in last posting, I went to a local cafe last week with my friend, Sue, and had a Mongo smoothie. I asked about the other smoothies this week, and discoverd two things, 1,they are all the same price, 2. they come out of a packet! They have a scheme, for want of a better word, whereby you are given a small card which is divided into squares, with pics of cups of coffee in them, and every time you have a coffee or other drink, they stamp it and when it is full, you get a free drink.
I was . of course, horrified to discover that the smoothies are not made from fresh ingredients, and have resolved never to have another. I did wonder about it, as the Mango season is a very short one, and uaually finishes in February.
Sue had her 9 month old grand daughter, Stacy, with her, and she has got to the stage where she hates being restricted, and wants to go, go, go,! It makes it very awkward for Sue to have her drink in peace, as she usually has Stacy on her knee, and she jumps and throws herself all over the place.
