Nothing too exciting, I made some almond bread for my diet. It's perfect for keto.

I hadn't heard of keto before, thanks for the introduction. How long have you been a practitioner? Have you seen positive results?

I recently started "juicing", not something I had ever done before. Below is photo of my first try at it. Kale, Romaine, Lemon, Apples and Celery = delicious. Actually gave me a nice energy boost. And yes, that juicer is from 1977.

I've been on keto for around 4 months now, and I've seen astounding results, I've lost 50 pounds altogether in that time.

That juice looks amazing, I absolutely love the colour. Are you juicing for health reasons?

thenewgreen  ·  4407 days ago  ·  link  ·  

I suppose it is for health reasons, yes. I went over to my friend cW's house and he and his wife were about to have a glass of this for breakfast and he offered me some. It was sooo good and it made me feel good almost immediately. -could have been in my head but it definitely seems to give me a boost.

I went to the grocery this morning to pick up more kale/romaine so I can do it again tonight. Juicing is actually fun, the process itself is cool. Makes me want to tinker around with some other ingredients.

I forgot to mention in my last comment that I added just a bit of ginger to the mix too. Gave it a bit of bite. Very nice.

I made something green to drink too!

But this was well later than our morning juice. Glad to hear the juice is treating you so well! There really is no substitute for just experiencing the lift for yourself. It wakes you up and energizes you in a way that is quite different from caffeine, and quite different from exercise/endorphins. No two ways about it, a veggie/juice buzz has become an indispensable part of our daily return to the waking world. It's the thing you didn't know you were missing, (until you find out about it, of course). That third kind of heat.

Yeah, yeah, yeah juicing is great but… Please tell us what the drink is you posted. Far more interesting! Include ingredients and how I can make one too.

I'm sorry, I thought that the title I posted on imgur would show up. It's nothing revolutionary, just a Bombay martini. It was our maiden voyage with the Cinzano vermouth, which did prove to be a most interesting addition, especially since we like our martinis, as I may have mentioned before, rather wet. I may do a quick write-up of the experience on T*S, but only after posting the running piece, which is ready to go, except for a title pic!

I am definitely looking forward to that running piece, and to trying out one of those wet Cinzano martinis.

hmm ... something very not slick happened with my imgur link tag there ... lil help?

Got it. It looks like you pasted a complete '<a href' attribute.

Those look delicious, btw.

Thanks mk! I have acquired the new-ish tagging skill. They were some tasty beverages, indeed, and we sucked them down with an assortment of kettle chips and caramel kettle corn, over a hand of rummy. Hope to make some for yourself and gq in the not too far flung future!
