Green Lemonade?



Gretchen asks me one afternoon, "So, you want some green lemonade?"
There was something in her tone that made me say, "No, Thank you." See, Gretchen is notorious for trying new things and wanting to share them with people. I remember this time where she was into this new brand of vitamin something and she gave me this stuff called Stevia. It tasted like dirt and made everything that you ate after taste like dirt too. The first time she asked me if I wanted to try Stevia, it was in that same tone of " Do you want some green lemonade?"

I had instant horror flashback memories and my tongue twisted and my lips puckered and my brain kept saying, "NO NO NO!"
But against my better judgement, I said, "Sure".

She has a juicer. You dump all these vegetables and fruits in and you don't have to peel them or cut them. You just shove it down the incinerator. Literally, it acts like a garbage disposal. Except the green muck that it spewed out was not GARBAGE!! I was delightfully surprised! It was wonderful! It was addictive! I wanted more! I felt great! Me likey! She put in some whole carrots in the juicer. Carotts plain and the carrot juice that came out was sooo sweet! I thought it would taste nasty. Raw carrotts are good but they have a flavor. The orange juice that was produced from these carrots was so sweet. I could have this every morning. I am now looking to purchase my first juicer! I can not wait! I want some green lemonade NOW!!!

word of caution: If you are not used to pure juice DO NOT WANDER far from the bathroom.
