Dear Pamster,

Your talk of exercise and being careful / mindful about diet inspired me.

My sister has a Magic Bullet. (Her husband saw it advertised on TV and decided he wanted one.) When I visited two years ago, I thought it was the coolest thing. It is handier than the juicer that we have. She uses it to make breakfast smoothies for him.
(I just looked up the price! Nevermind.)

Before I moved into this apt I got rid of a crappy juicer because I wasn't using it and hubby didn't like it. Well, it was difficult to use anyway.
Then about 6 months ago hubby had a kind of hypomanic moment (he gets these -- I don't know how else to describe them) and bought a big juicer at Sams that is too much trouble. He has used it about 5 times. Meanwhile it sits and takes up a lot of space on the counter top.


I wish that the juicers were self-cleaning, or at least easy to wash via dishwasher. As it is, cutting up the veggies/ fruit already is a hassle.

. . . 'don't know why I am complaining I'm just wishing it were easier to deal with those machines. Maybe you found a way that works and you can share some secrets.


Take care!

Mari
