A Toast…

I’d like to propose a toast.

[Raises glass of Sunshine Juice.*]

To health, happiness, good food, great friends, and all the love you can possibly stand in 2012.

*Sunshine Juice

  • 1 head leafy green lettuce
  • 6 carrots
  • 4 oranges, peeled
  • 1 Meyer lemon, peeled
  • 2-3 inches fresh ginger

I ran it through the juicer in that order.  This made a crap ton of juice – a yield of about 40 oz (totally having visions of an Edward 40-Hands party with fresh juice – if you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up). Alex had one full glassful and I had 1+2/3 glasses.  Perfect power breakfast for the first day of 2012!  

Happy new year – let’s make it a great one.  :)

    I’m not sure that I should admit that I actually do know what an Edward 40 hands party is! Although I’ve never actually attended one.

    Nope, I have not played that game. But I would if it were a smoothie! Ginger makes me think of pregnancy nausea, can I omit that and it still be Sunshine???
