Let me tell you about something terrible

So, we have this giant container of peeled garlic. 

 I looked up some juicing recipes with garlic in them. 

I found this one on the internet that got good reviews. 

It called for 1 apple, 1 garlic and 2 celery and 2 carrots. When I opened up the garlic container, the smell was so strong, I thought that I should add more carrots and another apple. Just to be safe.

I put it all through the juicier, and even though there was only one clove in there, the smell was really strong. The color was fairly pleasing.

I took the glass to Chris, and had him try it first. I wished that I had taken a picture of his expression, because I could tell that the juice was terrifyingly awful. 

I took a sip...oh loorrrrdy jeaaaaassuuuuuuussssss! It was awful. Chris had drank about 1/4 of his, and told me that I had to drink at least as much of mine to be fair. So I did. It was painful. Then Chris said, "what if I drink all of it". I said, "well, I guess I will too." 

Can you believe it, he drank the whole thing. 

I started in on mine, and then said..."I have to go back to work now!" hahaha...

I drank about 1/2 and put the rest down the drain. 

I had the taste of garlic in my mouth and on my breath for hours and hours afterwards. Don't get me wrong, I love garlic. But, juicing it was a very bad idea. 

Fuck You Garlic

2 Days, 3 new juices

Thanks to my sister, we have a new "Juicing recipes" book. 

We tried 3 new juices and they are all delicious.

I went a local farmer who has strawberries and picked up a big bucket of them. Now what? 

How about some "Sweet & Spicy Citrus" juice? 

5 Carrots

1 Orange

1/3 cup of Strawberries. I didn't measure, I just threw a bunch in

1 Lemon

a hunk of Ginger

Will it be good? Heck yeah it will! I really enjoyed this one we had for breakfast. According to the juicing book it is "Exceptionally rich in vitamin A and vitamin C"

 We still had strawberries left over, so this morning we had "Refreshing Strawberry Juice"

2 cups Strawberries; or just throw in what you have left

1 Cucumber

1/4 Lemon 

I didn't think that would be enough juice for the both of us, so I added in a pear and the whole lemon.

It was good and refreshing! I think the pear might have toned down the lemon taste a bit. But, we both liked it. Pig doesn't look too thrilled though. 

"Packed with ellagic acid, a phytonutrient that helps fight infflammation and cancer-causing cell damage", according to the juicing book. 

 For lunch we tried the "Tangerine Ginger Sipper". Except we didn't have tangerines, so I substituted an orange and a few clementines. 

1 "Tangerine"

1 Pear (or 2 for more juice)

1/4 Lemon (or a whole one because they taste good)

1/2 inch fresh ginger

Pig is much more excited about this one! According to the juicing book it is "A thirst-quenching combination of sweet and tart". We liked it!
