So, here I am again, trying and hoping it won't do the same today! It's that number 13 again.<br /><br />That story about the hawk was creepy. I usually love hawks but I bet you don't look upon their presence with much admiration anymore. I thought crows were supposed to be ominous. Hmmm....<br /><br />I want a juicer like none other, and the only reason I haven't purchased is because of indecision on what kind to get. <br />Would you reccomend this then? I need one that is easy to clean.<br /><br />I can't believe your husband saw Rush at Red rocks, he probably never forgot that. It is my first time to see them LIVE. <br />Do you like Rush? USually only guys like it, with some females sprinkled in. My husbands says the performers in Rush aren't pretty enough for the girls.<br /><br />Hugs,<br />RoseyChloe mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265196480664185330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-18032390655090169582010-08-14T01:17:12.571-04:002010-08-14T01:17:12.571-04:00I am definitely going to try all of these suggesti...I am definitely going to try all of these suggestions - from the melon, to the spinach, to the sour plum. It all sounds great. I'm actually very excited about this! <br /><br />Ricki - I think ours is the Breville Juice Fountain Jr. or something that. It's looks like a very simple, well-made machine. It was either that or the cuisineart that had more horsepower but like 14 parts. I definitely made the right decision. <br /><br />Autumnbelle - your drink is reminding me of a mojito. THen again, most drinks remind me of mojitos these days! :)<br /><br />Meredith - You reminded me of these little plastic things my mom got somwhere that you'd stab into an orange. It was like alittle spout for juice that you'd squeeze yourself. the good ole days... I'm surprised they let you bring such a sweet, sticky, and juicy snack outside the kitchen!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232693432045335251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-49932724841566865312010-08-13T15:39:07.921-04:002010-08-13T15:39:07.921-04:00Hi Wendy, Your juicer sounds better than mine.

Pink anything should help when you're that age. :) <br /><br />I've never had a juicer before -- but I'm a sucker for carrot juice and pomegranate juice. F. likes those vegetable-mix juices, which I cannot stand. Too thick and tomato-y. And in winter, when it's in season, yes, I love pink grapefruit juice. <br /><br />When I was a kid, my parents actually encouraged this love by cutting a small hole in the top of a pink grapefruit and letting me & my sis massage the juice out of it as we watched t.v. (Only food ever allowed out of the kitchen, now that I think of it.) I have no idea how that habit came about -- but somehow it seemed more fun to drink it directly from the fruit while watching Saturday morning cartoons. ;)Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11454557080455458675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-28689743749957827092010-08-12T05:48:11.140-04:002010-08-12T05:48:11.140-04:00That sounds so fun - making juice.

I don't juice myself (yet), but my sister and her husband are fanatics about it. The last time I was at their house, they gave me some home-squeezed beet juice, which tasted a lot better than I would have imagined. I don't know what all goes in there besides fresh beets, if any. If you're interested, let me know, and I will ask her next time I talk to her.thyme2gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512569281844698265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6102266899310858136.post-36296901031282603512010-08-12T00:12:06.735-04:002010-08-12T00:12:06.735-04:00hmm, I have been thinking about a juicer for quite...hmm, I have been thinking about a juicer for quite some time now, the regular blender just can not make a perfect texture.

I find it so useful for a quick and easy lunchtime vegetable fix, or using up produce that is not bad yet, but not at its prime, either.<br />I absolutely adore melon juice, and your kids would probably like it, too. Cantaloupe and watermelon are favorites - especially if you chill the melons before juicing them. Another old standby of mine is apple-carrot-celery. I just use one or two celery ribs. The predominant flavors are carrot and apple.<br />Have fun!Cynthiahttp://Digging RInoreply@blogger.com
