Juicing Experience: Day 6

We were really lazy today.  This morning I had an Orange Mango juice with herbal tea; Mario had Orange juice.  Our schedule was hectic so we stopped to eat a little something and did not juice this afternoon.  Since we really are not used to eating solids in the afternoon, we were not hungry in the evening.

Here it is 8:30 pm and I am only thirsty, so drinking herbal tea.  Plus I have indigestion.

Tummy is not happy with the salad with Italian dressing with a 4 ounce sirloin.

I have opted to grow an indoor garden in my dining room.   I have space under a ledge for some shelves and in the corners.  Think it would be beautiful and relaxing to have our dinner surrounded by a garden. Not to mention I have wide window ledges to place the herbs in the kitchen windows.

What will our garden grow?  Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Collard Greens, Roma Tomatoes, Red Bell Peppers, Yellow Bell Peppers, Green Bell Peppers, Cucumbers, Carrots (green and purple), Beets, Chives, Thyme, Basil, Rosemary, Parsley, Mint, Tarragon, Lavender, Lemon Verbena, Chamomile, Bergamot, Hibiscus, Sage, Catnip, Oregano Dill,  and Cilantro.  Plus a Lemon Tree and Pineapple.  Everything to make an awesome juice, great herbs for cooking, healthy vegetable side dishes, and to make the room fragrant and pretty.

Believe it will be easier to remember to take care and pluck the vegetables of my labor from the comfort inside my home.  Plus it will be grown all year round, 100% organic and hopefully insect free.

With day 7 around the corner, I purchased Cilantro, cantaloupe, pineapple, strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries.  Using the fruits combined with carrots to offset the taste of the green leafy vegetables.

Wish me luck...  Think the second week I will have more stamina and may be able to stick with the juice.  Mario is trying to hang in there with me.
