I'm not a horse. Really I'm not. I only say that because I had another carrot for breakfast. Hey, it's good nutrition and it's easy to eat in the car. If I start neighing, I guess I'll give up the carrot habit, but for now, it's a go.
For breakfast I had the stuff mentioned in the post below, so I won't rehash that. That held me until noon. I went home to let the cats in and out, then in, then out, then in, then out. I feel like a personal assistant sometimes. Cats can be such a pain in the ass sometimes, but I love all my kitties to death. Gizmo was a very good boy outside today. He didn't wander to the front yard at all. He just laid on the table (yes the table) in the sun and slept.
Meanwhile, I went inside to make some juice to sip on for the afternoon at work. I started to follow a "recipe" by Cindy (more on her in later posts) and realized I didn't have all the veggies in the recipe, so I just winged it and it turned out delicious! Here's what I made:
1 large, firm Roma tomato
2 stalks of celery
2 carrots
1 whole cucumber. Don't peel it - lots of good stuff in the skin
about 1/4 cup of onion. I don't know how much. I just sliced some off and put it in the juicer
1 large kale leaf
1/2 green bell pepper, seeded
I think that's it. I can't remember. I have to write this shit down so I can remember it later in case I want to make it again. Anywho, this juice is fab! I put some ice in it to make it taste crisper and it does. It is so yummy. If you have a juicer, try it. Try anything. Just juice it! Well, ok, maybe not chicken or a fish. That would be gross. Juice VEGGIES! Anything that sounds good to you.
Oh, and I saved the pulp from this batch of juice. I'm going to use it in tomorrow night's dinner. I got some nice sweet italian sausage (bulk) and I'm going to mix in as much veggie pulp as I can and then brown it up and serve it with noodles and some more veggies, probably broccoli. I'll let you know how that works.
Well, gotta go. Literally. The celery and the cucumber are doing their jobs.

Do you remember the Bass-o-matic skit on Saturday Night Live? That's what I thought of when you mentioned the chicken.
ReplyDeleteI've been considering juicing. I need to know more about it.

Mom got a juicer yesterday. An actual "Jack LaLaine" juicer. Thanks a lot. I think I'll end up walking in on her juicing a pizza or something.
ReplyDeletehaha
By the way, doesn't onion make the juice disgusting?
