Sitting at one of the front tables was the juicer, sitting there looking all rustic and colorful.
I've never been one for kitchen tools that have one job. I just don't have room for them in my tiny studio loft. And I can never justify spending money on something I can do by hand.
But lately I've been more and more frustrated with my juicing skills. I have bad arthritis, making it difficult and even painful to harvest all the juice. Not to mention I HATE finding surprise lemon seeds in my food (they are grossly crunchy and bitter).
Last time I made hummus, I carefully and annoyed-ly removed all the damn lemon seeds I accidentally let slip into the food processor.
Missed one, apparently. Stephen complained of something "crunchy and bitter" in the hummus. UGH.
I can't see the point of a separate zester and peeler (as you can see in the photo)...but that juicer might be the next sexy and practical addition to my kitchen.

| As you can see, I whipped up some healthy coleslaw to get down and dirty with the meat. |
I say pulled meat because...well...it's kind of a mixture. He puts a whole chicken in the crockpot with some vinegar, something pork-related for flavor (this time he used pork hocks), and I pointed him in the direction of some cheap fatty beef cuts that I had in the freezer.
I'm not sure what he all adds in addition to the vinegar. Probably some paprika, S&P....not sure! I'll need to find out. Because it always turns out amazing! I add some BBQ sauce and hot sauce to mine, but it stands on its own.
Next time, I'm going to put an egg on it and eat it for breakfast. Cause, you know. That's just kind of what I do.
