Celticgoddess, about your juicer: Does it use all the pulp as well as the juice?   :orly:

It separates the two. So the juice pours directly into the glass and the pulp is collected in a container in the back. The amazing thing is that because it is cetrifugal, the pulp is barely damp. I use it to add to things like muffins and cakes and bread because there's a lot of fibre left in the pulp.

I'm glad you keep the pulp and use it. It would be a shame to waste the fiber.  :thumbup:

This conversation sounds vaguely dirty, but I can't figure out how to turn it into a joke.  :scratchhead:

You complain about porn on the site but see dirty-joke material in this wholesome thread? Physician, heal thyself!   :pie:

Yesterday I made another wrap. Wraps are quite brilliant and can be filled with healthy food also of course. This time I filled one with: iceberg lettuce, red onion, radish, tomato, pickle, cucumber, garden cress and a sliced chicken's fillet. (seasoned an hour earlier and sliced after frying.. otherwise it gets too dry) Oh, and home made garlic-like sauce over it.

(left wrap open for the pic)

~

Had 2 chicken fillets and made a chicken broth from the other one. Not sure if anyone is interested in how to make soup, but.. Well, this is how you could make a simple one.

Chop the seasoned ch. fillet smaller, 1 stock cube (chicken bouillon-cube), 1/3 of a leek (green part of it is okay), half an onion and 2 (bunched) carrots. Last 3 veggies well cleaned and chopped smaller.

A cooking pan with +/- 1½ litres of cold water, throw all in and full heat till it boils. Lower heat and let it simmer for 30/45 minutes.

Another pan plus sieve and pour the broth throw sieve. Take the pieces of chicken out of sieve and squeeze juice out of veggies by using a spoon pressing on them in again mentioned sieve.  (empty content sieve in bin)

Liquid collected in pan is now a simple broth.... To make a soup, one throws back in the chicken and cleans and chops smaller fresh leek, onion, carrot.. and/or add x-tra broccoli, or rice, or those little pasta thingies (last 3 need a little pre-cooking though), or....

Et voilà.. une soupe.. (simple as fuck and healthy like-wise)

I'll fry two eggs in real butter soon, but I eat them on whole grain bread.  :autism:

Maybe not overly healthy or something but good food nevertheless, I think. Tastes great.

This again is quite a simple dish. *Penne pasta. *Turkey (in 'blocks', pre-seasoned) fried in little olive oil/real butter for about 6/7 minutes. *Spinach out of refrigerator slowly heated in little pan, add tablespoon of crème fresh, pulverized glove of garlic, a pinch of oregano, salt and pepper. *Browned pine tree seeds (careful not to burn them in frying pan). *Mix all lightly in pan, put on plate and finish by putting some freshly grated Parmesan on top of all.

I love wraps. I prefer them over sandwiches.

Made homemade apple juice. 4 apples + 1 carrot in the juicer equals really yummy apple juice.
