Juice

The Juice Lady has been one of my favorite birthday presents from my parents (they had hints and help), but I've been neglecting her lately. So, at WF, I picked up some juicing materials. Last night, I made my favorite: beet-orange-carrot-ginger juice. Known as the Ring of Fire in some circles.

Here's the prep work:



Of course, the photo doesn't show the true beauty of the beet. Sigh.

Here's the final product:



Again, our camera didn't capture the color gradations in the glass. Murrrr.

It was much prettier than that.

I should have used another orange, but it was still tasty.

Cookies
Before I started making the rosemary-citrus cookies, I realized that the dough had to freeze 4 hours to overnight before baking.

Darn! Why can't I pay attention to the details?!

Porkchop agreed to cook the cookies today. So we mixed up the batter last night. I'm so intrigued: rosemary (and lots of it), lemon zest, and cornmeal.

Should be interesting.

Yay!
For a holiday!

Wish I was getting a paid holiday. But it's still nice.

Have a great weekend! And drive safely if you're out on the road!
