My beautiful juicer - Harry - came last week. Harry has been soooo good to me over the last few days. I've been working up a variety of cocktails. My favorites include: apple-pear, carrot-celery, and orange-ginger juice. I feel like I have been mainlining vitamins directly into my bloodstream. I'm sure it's at least 75% psychological, but there is a definite energy boost involved, and nobody can tell me to the contrary, damnit.
I'm working my way up to the super green, super deluxe vitamin booster galore types like beet-garlic-broccoli-spinach-carrot-radish concoctions that Crazy Jay (Jay Kordich) thinks change people's lives. I just made that shit up, but I'm sure some juicer-crazed fool has given it a whirl. I'm just a few steps away.
Seriously, though, everybody needs a juicer. Tomorrow I'm going to make some homemade soy milk. Even though the juicer itself was a bit of an investment, I think it will pay back heftily in other ways. Example: I spend 75 cents on soy beans, do some ca-bang, ca-boom, and I've got myself a pretty severe supply of soymilk. Do you people know how expensive that shit normally is?
Non-juicer-related news:
I'm currently working at a bookstore that a friend of mine runs, filling in for another friend while she is on vacation. It's a great gig, replacing some of the money gaps where the French administration left me hard-core hanging.
Meanwhile, I'm making headway in hallucinating ways (the French use the term "hallucinating" a lot: "His hairdo is hallucinating!" and so on... I love it. I like it so much that I am importing it back into English in a completely incorrect form. You all better just get used to it so that you don't wonder what the hell I'm talking about in futre posts) in upcoming plans. I can't get into it on this site, because damn if I'm going to jinx the good luck train that choo-choos past my little life's cabin, but let's just say I've walked into two seperate little goldmines in the last two weeks. We're talking enormous fucking goldmines here, people.
Besides the lost bracelet and the four extra kilos, things are going well. Tomorrow morning's menu consists of: homemade soy milk with puffed rice and quinoa, a fresh glass of orange-ginger (again) juice and perhaps, later, a mango smoothie. Sound dandy?
I'm so pathetic. I go to bed before 1 every night now. It's incredible. The Boy thinks I've aged twenty years in three months, but I'm just exhausted. I can't help it - I get up earlier every day, and have to go to bed earlier as a result. I prefer it this way: today, for example, I got all of my correspondance, grocery shopping, and bill-paying done before I even had to leave to go to work. Glorious. Plus, I'm out and about in time for the cheap veggie markets. More juice!
Oh, I'm so excited about your juicer! I've been thinking about getting one myself; it seems so much easier and more pleasant than trying to cram down a salad. Now I just need to cough up the dough. Would you recommend the model you're using?
I hope your bracelet turns up.
Oh, I hardcore recommend it. It's very easy to run/clean/set up... and can do so many things. I think the price is right, too, as juicers can get very pricey. My juicer is a Matstone, you can see what they're like here: http://www.soyafresh.co.uk/juicers/juicer_matstone.htm but I don't know where you can get them in the US. I've heard they're sold for less (but still new) on Ebay, so you might want to look into that. I definetly don't regret the investment thus far.
Thanks. It turns out that a Matstone juicer is the same as a Samson which they do sell here and I've heard elsewhere is good.
congrats on finding a new job for the moment!
