Love At First Sip

Their eyes met across a crowded grocery cart.  He was a leafy green, she was an exotic islander.  The moment was ripe, and once Kale married Pineapple, they knew it was meant to be.

A pair of star-cross'd lovers.

Eight Pounds, Three Ounces Lighter

 Life has been pretty good these past five days.  Baby Sasha is healthy, my mom is waiting on me hand and foot, and I am having an ideal recovery from childbirth.  Mom made a boffo-socko juice today and even used the rinds of the pineapple (something I hadn't tried previously).  It was a sweet juice with a brown foam to it, presumably from the pineapple rind.  The juice was so good, in fact that it rivaled the amazing baby gift of Shari's Berries we received from my husband's co-worker.

Tropical Tang

As it turns out, celery may be my favorite juice ingredient for many reasons:

• it's flavor is subtle and works with almost any other veggie and fruit
• celery is very juicy, leaving very little pulp
• it's inexpensive
• it's extremely healthy
• frankly, celery is fun to send down the hopper, watching the greens lower bit by bit to their juicy fate

Here's a great juice that has a heavenly, light foamy body and yet it's not super sweet: almost sour, in fact. 

Sensible Drinking:
5 stalks of celery
1/2 pineapple
1 grapefruit (peeled)
1 head of romaine lettuce
1 stalk of kale

A guy walks into the doctor's office. A banana stuck in one of his ears, a celery stalk in the other ear,
and a carrot stuck in one nostril. The man says, "Doc, this is terrible. What's wrong with me?" 

The doctor says, "Well, first of all, you need to eat more sensibly."

Hawaiian Punch!

The outdoor thermometer said 59 degrees at 3:15 this afternoon.  We opened all the windows and let the fresh breeze blow through our home.  The sun even shone a bit!  The weather inspired my drink today...
