Hello. Here’s the email I sent on Sunday to people on the list.
Since it has answers to “what have they been working on?” and the inevitable “where have they been the last couple weeks”, I’m going to publish it as a blog post.
Here ya go.

Good morning, |:FIRST NAME:|
Few things for ya.
1) This all-fruit smoothie we’re calling The Pinkman is out of this world. It tastes like summer. Great anytime, but especially when you’re not feeling a green or sweet smoothie. (This one is deliciously, refreshingly, amazingly tart.)
The post for this recipe, by the way, is fully loaded. Great images, a Vine, an Instagram, AND an unlisted YouTube vid of us naming this thing. Check it out!
2) Our full recipe index and ultimate list of Vitamix recipes (two separate things) are finally fixed. They’re complete and categorized collections that are constantly updated as we add new ones. Check ’em out!
3) For those who’d appreciate the FYI: This Vitamix is $279 on the US Site for one week only, until 6/25/16. (This is the model I got my Nana for Mother’s Day.) Spread the word!
Okay, all for now. Have a nice week.
Love,
Lenny
P.S. We are on break for the next couple of weeks. We will be back with a new recipe for ya on 7/9/16. Hugs.

Afterwards
If you’d like to get inspired to make something delicious (almost) every Sunday, you can get on the email list here.
Yes, this exactly how Life is NOYOKE emails look and feel. They’re an email from me.
Quite unfancy, I know.
But that’s the only type of newsletter I like. So it’s the only type of newsletter I send.
Louis CK’s is a great example. Except his goal is to notify you of stuff he made and that you should buy.
Maybe that’s my goal, too. Except instead of “buy” the stuff I made, I want you to “make” the stuff I made.
Well, I guess sometimes I make stuff I want you to buy. My Vitamix 101 class is really the only thing I’ve made that you could buy.
But I did make Life is NOYOKE. And you could buy into the lifestyle.
Okay, that will be enough.
Bye for a couple weeks.
Note 1) Everything below the “P.S.” and three stars was not in the email I sent. Here’s proof.
Note 2) This is why I handwrite ALL of my published works. Everything I just wrote was ramblebutt, over-caffeinated typing.
Note 3) I love you.*
*Unless you are affiliated with any Big Food company (Kraft, Mondelez, General Mills, Coca-Cola, Pepsi, etc), in which case, shame on you I still love you. I just wish you’d love yourself.
I have some of those, they seem to work okay. Might need to be struck a little more forcefully though. I was disapointed that they were not green. Standard match colors, standard red-orange flame and whiisth-gray smoke. I was so hoping for green.
I’ve lost several minutes of sleep over the ending to this post.
“Shame on you?” I would NEVER say that to someone.
In fact, I have a neighbor who had a job at Kraft Foods. Never once have I said anything disparaging about his employer — and we’ve talked about his work several times.
So, what do I do?
I’m not editing the post. I hit publish and sent it out into the world.
But I’ll say this: If you work at any of those Big Food companies, that’s cool. I still love you.
(Because Life is NOYOKE.)
