I didn't forget about Drink of the Week. I swear! Thursday night rolled around and I just couldn't find any inspiration. I wanted to make some sort of sangria, because the weather has been so beautiful - - just begging for fruit floating in wine. I didn't have any ingredients, and I just felt a bit overwhelmed. Then I thought, "I might be turning these folks into alcoholics. Does the Drink of the Week always have to be a booze fest?" I then answered myself (out loud, of course), "YES!" Well, no booze fest for you this week. Let's take the week to cleanse ourselves while I pay homage to all of you with a fresh squeezed juice. Yes, that's right. I said it. JUICE. All of your comments inspired me to break out the juicer (yes, the one I just had to have, used once, and shoved in the cupboard)! So I woke up Friday morning and I juiced. My friend Jamie was here so she juiced. Andrew - - not so much. Actually, I didn't even ask him, because I thought it might put him off of all juicy liquid substances for the rest of his life. Now let me say that I was scared. Really, really scared. I did not think this was going to taste good and the memory of my first juice laden with beets and ginger - - Gag! But, I persevered. I did it for you. I had to. I'm such a martyr. This is what I used. I think it needs a bit of tweaking. Believe it or not, it was actually too sweet. I will definitely keep you posted, and I promise that next week you will have booze!

Food and polaroids! No idea what else we have in common but you DO have a lot to do with the photographs, which are vibey and composed - and feel so soothing to look at. There are two photographers here in Austin who do great Polaroid stuff, Holly Bronkow and Matthew Mahon. You'd like them.
Cheers!

I love juice... I'm going to try out this recipe. My favorite is carrot juice, blueberry juice, and orange juice, (you can use grapefruit if you'd like because of the sweetness of the blueberry and carrot). The vitamins and antioxidants are amazing in the drink.
Enjoy!

Well I am of the school where juice is from a fruit, i.e. orange juice, cranberry juice, grape juice...I even like my fruits mixed such as in cran-grape and cran-orange...so spinach and kale don't sound very good. I'm holding out for booze! :-)

Hi great blog. Nice juice recipe. From Eamon of CreativeThinkJuice! (blogspot).
What kind of juicer (brand/model) do you have?
I am looking for one that juices leafy vegetables like kale and spinach.
Thanks in advance!
