Juiced

After watching the movie Fat, Sick, & Nearly DeadBreville 800JEXL Juice Fountain Elite 1000-Watt Juice Extractor “I guess that’s yer partner in the wood chipper” model that I bought a couple of years ago after careful consideration. Bonus: the pulp is great for the compost pile.


Anyway…

Day 4, almost day 5. I don’t sleep well in the heat, even with the AC on. Anybody else have that problem? When I was a kid I was scrawny and hyper and I loved the heat.

I ran a lot of errands today, including stocking up on 4 lbs tomatoes, 3 lb apples and 1 lb carrots, with beets, celery and kale to round out the nutrition. I considered getting a bell pepper but decided against the bitterness this time. Instead I got some jalepeno peppers to add some flavor and bring out the sweetness of the carrots and beets. And a pineapple for the heartburn that has developed, and strawberries because the apple/strawberry/mint combination was so tasty, and a grapefruit because they are less acidic than oranges. Oh, dang, forgot lemon for the tomato mixture. I’ll have to run out tomorrow. I need to balance it more toward veggies and less toward fruits, but I have to work up to that. Glycemic index refers to how long it takes to release sugars, not to how much sugar is released. Is that true?

Is it ok to juice enough for the whole day, and for part of the next day? How fast does juice lose its nutrition?

I also went to Home Despot :-) and bought two more tomato plants and two eggplant. I am looking forward to juicing tomatoes right out of the garden.

I always keep Vitamin C in the kitchen to help juices keep their color. Don’t know why commercial dried fruit has to have sulfites in it. It’s just aesthetics.

Has anyone tried making tomato/oregano or salsa flavor? I’ve learned that I personally can’t keep down any juice mixture with onion in it.

I will start documenting recipes now so I can perfect and share them.

All right, off to bed.
