playing with food
the juicer has been banished to the basement for far too long. countertop real estate was to blame, but, in honor of the new year, we brought it up and cleaned it off. we had some beets that had juicer written all over them.
well, i took one look at the beets and knew they needed to be dressed up a little first:
dan's is the one on the left that actually looks like a rat. mine is the one the right that looks like a strange bat with a monocle.
now, enter the juicer:
the juicing. this shot gives you an idea of how playing with beets always leaves the kitchen looking like a bloodbath took place. not to mention the shock factor that awaits in the toilet bowl the next day, but that's a potentially TMI tangent. sorry.
and, the beet/carrot juice in all its glory. we added juice from 1/2 a lemon to add a little zing, as beets and carrots are rather sweet.
and, for good measure, here are some smiling onions dan discovered last week while preparing dinner:
