So I return from Mexico and to my beloved juicer, excited to rev up the Hurom to start off another great day.
However, I’ve been in Mexico for a week, so you can imagine the state of the contents of my fridge.
Basically, all that’s available is the tough stuff. You know, the veggies that take about a month to go bad. Like when you find potatoes tucked away in a cupboard from 1996. Sure, they’ve sprouted little babies and they’ve gone a bit soft, but you have to give them credit – they’re still almost edible.
So my stalwart, fibrous veggies save the day!
