So remember how yesterday I told you I made 5 gallons of juice?
Turns out it's the most disgusting juice ever. I think there's not enough green veggies, but my friend Rachel says it tastes like grass. To be fair, Rachel doesn't juice so probably ALL juice would taste like grass to her...
In other news, I also wanted to poll the crowd and see if anyone has this stuff in their juice:
See at the top there's that white stuff? I shake it up and it dissolves fine, but I want to know what it is. Usually the entire bottom of the bottle is coated in it after the juice has had time to settle, but I had already started shaking this bottle before I thought to take a picture. In my heart of hearts, I associate it with beets, but I have literally no reason to do so. Plus I only put in one beet per day, so it's probably not beet.
In other news, I started watching "True Blood" this season. I also watched the first season, but nothing in between. I really like it - it's pretty captivating. I've started calling this batch of (god-awful) juice "True Blood" because of the color. And kind of also because of the texture.
So to come full circle, this batch of juice is disgusting. And, as fate would have it, this would be the batch that I decided to make 5 gallons of. I've started counting down the bottles. So far I've drank two bottles of True Blood (which in hindsight maybe I should call "Nasty Blood"). That only leaves TWENTY-TWO bottles until it's gone. To paraphrase "Finding Nemo", just keep drinking, just keep drinking....
Lastly, but not least-ly, I'd like to introduce two new faces to the blog. Adam and Angelica from MO will be posting on here as well about their juicing experience. Whereas I can only offer the juicing insights of a sworn bachelor, they can provide tales of what it's like to juice as a family. As has been reiterated over and over on this blog, "juicing is a very personal journey", so it will be a great twist to hear what their journey is like, what health considerations Angelica has to take as a new mother, how they can support each other, etc.. Frankly, what I want to know is, if they cheat, do they cheat alone in a dark room when they're away from each other or do they both share in the blame of ordering the pizza together? We're still working on getting the logistics of their posts put together, but stay tuned for exciting adventures from the South!
