Wife bought a juicer

So the wife bought a juicer. We've never had one before, and I always thought we might like one.

Now we're juicing everything!

Only condition I had was...the minute some KALE finds its way into this house is the same minute that juicer is getting launched to Uranus!

She's made some pretty good stuff. As with anything though, there have also been a couple failures as well. Goes with the territory I guess.

I guess you can juice just about anything with one of these gadgets. All in the name of better health. Juice is good for you.

I wanna' figure out how to juice a leg of lamb with rosemary. Or, a nice rare steak, twice baked tater and some asparagus with butter, salt and pepper. Hey, they've got green in them, so it's healthy, right?

I got a crappy juicer a few years back from a friend. I use it about every other month. They are nice to have but a pain to clean.
And also man what's wrong with KALE? It's a super food and pairs great with real bacon and livers! Also use some Lard and you got one damn good meal!

Can you juice Bourbon? Asking for a friend named DBCowboy.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus


He wants to juice Bourbon.....now that's funny man!
Go for it I guess man.
I juiced a cocktail of fruits and forgot I did so for a few months. Then found it in the fridge thinking maybe I did it recently and put a nice helping in my thermos for my morning at work.
Needless to say I had to check out early.

Not all juice is "good for you", depending on who you are. It could be bad for you, even really bad.

Drug interactions, fibre issues (💩💩), carb overload leading to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, excessive potassium intake.

Don't go too crazy on the juice.

Whatever, don't juice/powder ghost chilli peppers in it, you will be amazed how long everything just tastes like lava.

I juiced some apples afterwards for an apple cake, rinsing it out with soap water wasn't enough. It was interesting though and a different kind of hot apple cake.

Add: I see that a mixer is not the same as a juicer. Pardon my ignorance.

A juicer is a uni-tasker that will lose its novelty in a few months and just take up counter space.
The only people I know that use them frequently are ones that are big-time into the healthy diet thing.

Don't even get me started!

Don't even do it!

% Don't push me,
% cuz I'm close to the edge!
% I'm tryin'
% not to lose my head.
% It's like a jungle sometimes.
% It makes me wonder,
% how I keep from goin' under.

Dude it's cheap and good so I don't really see the problem?!
Did someone touch you with KALE?
It's ok if so, this is a safe space man!

a reply to: Allaroundyou

Somebody touches me with KALE, and they're gettin' a beat-down!

Yeah, it's cheap, and it tastes like KACK!

I've also just decided that juiced orange peel also tastes like KACK!

But, but...that's where all the nutrients are!

Yeah, well, Homey don't do KACK!

I'm learning all kinds of stuff!

Only way to eat kale. Turn it into chips!

a reply to: snowspirit

I generally just burn it in a ditch.

Where did you learn that word, if not in South Africa?

a reply to: 19Bones79

Dunno, used it since I was a kid to describe something which tastes awful.

I can see the use for a juicer, but it makes more sense to me to just do smoothies. You can throw just about anything in,. And as long as you throw half a banana in that's all you taste.

Maybe some crushed ice yogurt jalapeno, kale berries water oatmeal peanut butter powder carrot ... bourbon ...

Kak is Afrikaans(my mother tongue) for sh1t.

As in, kale tastes really kak.

Don't go too crazy on the juice.

Now that right there is a quote ...

a reply to: Flyingclaydisk

That's really weird because citrus zest is awesome. So one would think a bit of it added to some juice would likewise be awesome.

No, this thing isn't a blender, like a Vitamix type thing (we already have one of those), this is a "juicer". It turns solid stuff, like concrete, trees and steel girders, into 'juice'. Just last night we had a Pineapple, spinach and Re-bar spritzer. This morning I think she juiced the neighbor's cat, some orange peels, celery and some roofing nails (you know, for the iron).

No idea what we're having for lunch, but I saw her dragging an old tire across the yard earlier. I've had to lock her out of the basement now.

She starts talking about "nutrients", gets this diabolical grin on her face and then starts cackling. I started to smell some burning wires earlier.

I'm scared.
