Get back, Jack! We've got a Juicer!

Who's Jack? Jack Lalanne.
What's a Juicer? Chris' long-time dream machine!

For years, YEARS, my Chris has yearned, longed, desired, hinted, begged, and shamelessly wanted a Jack LaLanne juicer. Once we got a hand-me-down juicer from our friends Charlie and Michelle, but it wasn't a Jack Lalanne. It spewed pulp and fruit flesh all over the kitchen back splash, but no juice flowed from it's chrome spout into our awaiting cup. I knew the day would come. I díd not object to the purchase in principle, I just took offense to the price.

Our friend, Jackie, who is the true Queen of all things Ebay, flippantly said, "You should try seeing if there is one on Ebay?" Little did she know what she set in motion. She, right before our very eyes, typed in a search for a J.L.J. (Jack Lalanne Juicer), found one at a rock bottom price from a reputable seller, bid on our behalf, then notified us less than 24 hours later that we had won! The J.L.J. was ours!

Rapture could not have expressed Chris' reaction better. I'm sure that when he committed his life to Christ it was the biggest day of his life. Then, when I said, "Yes I will marry you and your mullet." was the second finest day in his history. However, the day the J.L.J. arrived - hands down will be the 3rd largest day of his life ... sorry girls, your Dad loves you, but J.L.J. has been a dream longer than you have been alive.

In support of his obsession, I have purchased truck loads of carrots, apples, oranges, and kiwi. I've got to admit, the J.L.J. has captured my affections, too! Where on the planet can you get your 5 daily servings of fruit and veggies in the flip of a switch?

Pictures will follow. Right now, I'm letting the newness of all this settle down. The kitchen is tingling with juicy energy and the giddy clinks of Chris' glass capturing his liquid nutrition is a bit too much for the human eye.

Good health - may you too have a J.L.J. in your future!
