Today's juice had some technical difficulties, lest you think I live in some kind of nutritional utopia. Our Jack LaLanne juicer makes wonderful juice, but it is quirky, temperamental, and requires significant work to clean and reassemble after each and every batch.
Upon waking, I stumbled into the kitchen, opened the dishwasher, collected the juicer's various removeable parts, assembled the juicer, quartered a Granny Smith apple and fed it into the juicer, which promptly jammed and shut itself down so as not to overheat. When this happens, you must wait two minutes before taking the juicer apart, unclogging and reassembling it, which I did.
At which time, Max walked into the kitchen and asked if there was any fresh citrus juice that he could use to unblock his sinuses before this morning's audition. (For those of you keeping track, yes, Max did have an audition yesterday, for a musical, and another today, for a scholarship.)
So I poured the 1/2 cup of apple juice into a glass, quickly disassembled the juicer a second time, brushed the blade and filter clean, rinsed the cover and pulper, and reassembled it to make pink grapefruit and lemon juice for Max.
one pink grapefruit
1/2 Meyer lemon
