My First Creation

Well, my juicing adventure almost stopped before it started.  I couldn't get the darn juicer to turn on.  I tried everything.  I took the whole thing apart and put it back together again.  I read all the troubleshooting tips in the owner's manual.  I said a few choice words.  Okay, more than a few.  I asked my mom, who is halfway across the country, what to do as if she could see what I was looking at.  Irrational, I know.  The light bulb did not go off until I spoke with my sister.  Turns out the problem was not the juicer at all.  I simply needed to press the reset button on the electrical outlet.  Wow.  Sort of feels like another metaphor for this whole juice journey.  I have been searching high and low for a solution to my body struggles.  As it turns out, the key is in the reset.  I must help my body return to a more natural state through a deep cleanse.  But, that's enough philosophical mumbo jumbo for today.

Once I had finally gotten the juicer to turn on, the rest was pretty easy.  I combined a bunch of random ingredients from the fridge and got my first glass of juice.

Looks gross.  But it tastes phenomenal.  The juice test run was a definite success. Let's hope I can figure out what I did so I can make some more delicious juice tomorrow morning!
