Today I made some homemade lemonade with my juicer.  You would think this would be easy but as I cant use sugar and the organic honey I found doesn't break down into the juice, so it was quite messy.   In the end, I have some yummy strawberry lime/lemonade and while you can tell it's honey sweetening the mix, it's not a bad flavor combo.

Tonight I minced some ginger and garlic, flavored it with lime juice and rubbed it over some hormone free chicken.   It was yummo.   I, also, took some of the juice of the ginger, garlic and lime and added it to my rice steamer and again...fabulouso.   Topped with almonds, I made something I love.   Maybe Mark won't love it so much.....lol

I planted cherry tomato plants and regular tomato plants outside the house.  First time for everything.  I'm sure it's not the ideal spot but with two large trees shading our humble abode, I'm not sure where the ideal spot may be.    Of course, plant today and heavy winds and hail this evening.   Lovely.   Poor plants.   Good thing I didn't name them and get attached.  

I should note that I've finally lost some weight.   A measly 4lbs.  Yippee.   Good thing I'm not doing this for the benefit of weight loss alone........

  1. Umm, try organic agave nectar. It mixes well cold. Oh, ginger juice! The Ginger People make this drink that I adore! Basically, ginger juice with some honey (I think) and maybe some lemon. I forget. I used to get it at Whole Foods when I lived in Reno. They had two kinds. Regular and triple strength. It was bottled to drink cold, but you could heat it and drink it that way, too. I love ginger!

    We had a margarita we made at the bar with agave nectar, lime juice, and tequila. That was it. No other mixer. You might try a virgin one, lol. Shake the lime juice and agave nectar well with ice and just drink it with the ice you used to shake it. I think you'll like it. :)
