Non-alcoholic Drinks: Cirtusy Mint and Cucumber Water

No booze? Weird.
The inspiration for this came from my dear friend Stephanie, who also has a sweet blender. The idea behind these non-alcoholic drinks (which is really just a euphemism for an alcoholic drink that is almost completed, i.e. just add alcohol), is that they should taste good, be refreshing, and leave you satisfied. I like these as an alternative to water, and as a way to add a couple of veggies and herbs to what you eat during the day.
Take two Persian cucumbers, a couple leaves of mint, the juice from quarter of a lime and lemon, and a small amount of lime rind (Steph likes to add ginger, I like to add lemon juice because it is more familiar) and then add close to 1/2 gallon of water (Steph likes sparkling water). Blend for about 30 seconds, and serve over ice.
I personally think white, non-spiced rum would be perfect to addition to this. Ben II, and Chris D II think that tequila would be better. But seriously, are you going to listen to them, or to someone who runs an unsuccessful Paleo site? That's what I thought.

  2. " The site also offers items for sale, including apparel and bags emblazoned with a drawing of a mustachioed cat; I could not find any statistics about how much merchandise the website sells, but the items for sale actually looked pretty good. This is merely a reflection of the fact that people are on the lookout for a break from the stresses of life. Recent research found that stressfull life can increase the speed of progression of AIDS in HIV- positive patients.

    The second option is to use headphones as you probably
    did at the gym in the past. This can be achieved
    by adding more weight, increasing the number of repetitions,
    or by adding on additional sets.

    surely give a preference to online medium for getting familiarity with
    these topics. Office goers and people who are
    travelling often do not get time to read news from the newspaper or watch it to get good information
