I got Juice!

I've always been a fan of carrot juice and fresh fruit\veggie juices. We had a 19th century cider press growing up and so I know fresh squeezed when I taste it. At one point I sort of looked at juicers because I thought it would be sort of fun and had the potential to produce some wicked cocktails (note: not how you are supposed to think about your juicer) but good ones are $200 and my old kitchen had a grand total of 2.5 square feet of counter space so I lost interest.

Then yesterday I found a secondhand Waring Pro for $20. Which is perfect. I am exactly $20 worth of interested in juicing. Especially now that I have expansive counter space in my life. The juicer has one of those nice solid motors that you feel will outlive you and a terrifying spinning blade. So, in other words it is hella effective. I've made some carrot ginger juice which was awesome and some pear juice which was lushy.

After fiddling around I also did some internet browsing for juicer recipes. I am glad that I did not spend $200 for my juicer because this would make me a Serious Juicer. And my web searching taught me that Serious Juicers are FREAKS.

You're cracking me up! You can't go wrong with Waring though, I'm a bit jealous! I should probably get a juicer instead of making a waffle iron my priority...hahaha!
