Three Cheers for Jack Johnson

• The first cheer is for making happy, enjoyable music.
• The second is for making music that i think is cute when my husband sings it.
• The third is for turning us on to Banana Pancakes.

You hardly even notice
When I try to show you this
Song it’s meant to keep you
From doing what you’re supposed to
Like waking up too early
Maybe we could sleep in
I’ll make you banana pancakes

Banana Pancakes

INGREDIENTS:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 ripe bananas, mashed

DIRECTIONS:

Combine flour, white sugar, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together egg, milk, vegetable oil and bananas.

Stir flour mixture into banana mixture; batter will be slightly lumpy.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each pancake. Cook until pancakes are golden brown on both sides; serve hot.

I spent the afternoon (3.5 hours) of my birthday at Jade Sauna, a Korean Bathhouse in Beaverton. It’s a couple of doors town from Elite Hot tubs were Paul & I used to get couples massage in the days he was too self conscious to do it alone.

I work with a woman who is a fan of Jade Sauna. She gave me the run down of what to expect. I have never been treated so roughly in my life. I had things exfoliated I didn’t knew could be. The massage style reminded me a bit of an MXC episode.

I chose the Delux Package 1: (Entry, Exfoliation, Moisture, Massage)

1. Lockers and Pink Robe
2. Shower
3. Salt Room
4. Wet Sauna
5. Exfoliation
6. Shower with Hair Washing
7. Dry Jade Sauna
8. Moisture Massage
9. Shower no soap (no sweat)

Korean Bath House Milk Mask
Materials:
2 tsp of almond oil
1 tsp honey
1 tbs of grated cucumber

Instructions:
This is a very hydrating and cooling mask suitable for all skin types.

To apply to this mask begin by massaging the oil into your face, then apply a layer of honey followed by a gentle pressing of the cucumber into the skin. Allow it to sit on the face for 20 mins.
Rinse off

(my moisture massage had warm milk after the oil and cucumber slices)
