Do you ever sit back and imagine how your life will look in the future? I do. And have for as long as I can remember. I can't remember when it was, but quite a few years ago, juicing popped into that picture. If you read my blog often, you know that I'm a smoothy nut. Now I might just loose it. :)
Nick found this old beaut at a yard sale while I was away in Kansas. It's an Acme Challenger. I don't know anything about this model, that's just what it says on the front. haha.

Today I got to use it for the first time.

It started off as Pear Strawberry (dark)Grape Juice.

Then I decided to add some celery to round it out a bit. Which topped it off with some greenish foam. (check out the last picture.)

It made quite a mess because the pear mushed up inside instead of coming out as "juice".

After I took it apart I was able to retrieve the pear 'mush' and add it to the drink.

The pulp was so pretty and reminded me of this painting.
