Slacking off

So, I don't know if slacking off, is the correct phrase.  I have been making things, just being lazy on my weekends and not doing write-ups.  So I do apologize if they seem to come out in bursts, but back to more important things.  I have two AMAZING additions to my kitchen,  both of which I will be doing lots of experimenting in the near future so prepare yourself.

#1. Champion JUICER! 

My grandma loves me and got me one, and it really is something I wish I had used when I was little.

It's so much fun to make things with it, and there's no hidden additives, no preservatives.  I will be posting a few different things, and recipes I have been playing with and let you know what's good.  And what is not so good, and ended up tasting like dirt. And as always, you are more than welcome to come over and experiment with me! .....................................................(But only on the weekends, weekdays are too busy)

Okey doke, so I'll share what I made this morning, because it is the freshest in my mind. Usually on Sunday's I frequent the Farmer's Market (Which if you haven't been you should try it out, bring some friends, have some lunch. If nothing else it's a fantastic place for people watching, and sketching) . So there's a juice tent that my freinds and I frequent and last Sunday I decided to get a Orange/Carrot juice.  And I almost choked when the man behind the counter said 8 dollars!! For two cups of juice!!!!

I semi-reluctantly paid the man and went on with my day. But this weekend, I was gonna make my own.  So here are my concoctions. Below are the ingredients I used to make two glasses of delicious juice



 Homemade Orange/Carrot


1.5 oranges
1.5 cups of baby carrots
1 sprig of celery

(This one is pretty good, of the two it was Ryan's favorite)

Oranges 1.50
+ Carrots .50
+ Celery .25
____________
Total cost : ~2.25

Homemade Orange/Watermelon

1 oranges
6 sliced pieces of watermelon

1 sprig of celery

Oranges 1.00
+ Watermelon .50
+ Celery .25
____________
Total cost : ~1.75


 (So, basically Juice man at the Farmer's Market is up-selling by 50%) I'll still probably get a juice from him every once and a while,  but for now I think I'll yield.

It's all about what's in season, and on sale! 

Watermelon is in season right now, so you can get them for pretty cheap!
