It's here!

Hi guys!

I am super stoked tonight! The juicer arrived a day early! 

So I get home early and there is this box from Bed bath and Beyond...and inside that box? Another box...

So we opened the box, only to find....another box....it was like Russian Nesting Dolls, I tell ya!

But inside that box, queue the music...

Pardon the mess in the background. Hubby painted the computer room today and the entire contents of it was in the living room and dining room when I got home. But I digress...

Oh juicer! How I have dreamed of the day we would meet face-to-face. And here you are.

So one trip to Publix later, we tested the old girl out - could not wait for the in-laws.

We juiced the following:

1 Bartlett pear

1 gala apple

3 pineapple quarters

1 beet with tops

1/2 inch ginger root

1 squirt lemon juice

There was approximately 16 ounces of juice out of all that. And this is what it looked like...

And we drank it. Dennis and Connor both thought it tasted a bit earthy...beet-y. I think Connor may enjoy the fruit only juices. I personally loved it and cannot wait to get started! My sister is coming up this weekend so I may have to test it out on her too. I won't make her try the beets :-)

Well, I wanted to give you a quick update tonight of our first test drive of the juicer. Fantastic little machine that did exactly what it said it would. The clean up was a lot easier than I expected, specially when I read the tip about putting a plastic bag in the pulp bin...cinch up and toss! As we use it more and more, I will let you know if it still lives up the first impression.

That is all I have for tonight. I am feeling a bit under the weather - hence why I was home early - so I am turning in early, at least early for me :-) Thank you for coming by today and reading up on my little journey. I appreciate you being here! Until tomorrow...
