It was the year 2000 and I was but a young lad in college. One random night my roommate decided to buy a juicer called the Juiceman. The thing was being continuously endorsed on television between the hours of 2 and 6 a.m. by the then Juiceman himself, so we knew it was awesome. We then spent about a week's worth of beer money on a shopping cartful of produce. Back at the dorm, we methodically juiced the cornucopia of fruits and vegetables in its entirety. Yes, this was a monumental waste of time and money, and also one of the lamest nights of my life. However, it was the first time I drank anything like a parsley-broccoli-lime-apple cocktail and let me tell you, it put me in awe of the power of juicing. Awe.
A decade later, I got a juicer which I finally used the other week. I had some produce odds and ends which were threatening to go rogue on me en masse so I decided to intervene. The result? The kale-pear-apple-lemon-lime-orange juice blend you see here. Although it doesn't quite beat actually eating the stuff, it was surprisingly tasty (and an easy way to clean out my produce drawer). They can't all be winners though: a later attempt at a carrot-ginger-apple juice failed miserably and caused many a frown.
