Commencing Launch in 3...2...1....

Juicer arrived today, as scheduled.... Crazy shopping trip completed this morning, see previous post... Orientation attended, fabulous as all are, and prejuicing began tonight... I am exhausted!
I did manage to get all 5 juices prejuiced and packed for tomorrow, all the remainders (because I had the ingredients for 4 servings as per our plan) are packaged and frozen for the night. I will say, on the initial juicing I liked 4 of the 5; my husband, not so much. I am hoping as they are colder he will like them more - only time will tell. I will prejuice again tomorrow night, as I think this is the most efficient to continue as my days get a bit crazy... 

Here are my lessons learned today:
- Long (tall) vegetables are a little like trying to wrangle cats in my juicer - proceed with quickness.
- Beets are much easier to juice if you fold the tops over - they spin like a tilt-a-whirl.
- Radishes will escape a little worse for the wear if you don't get the food pusher in place fast enough - it is kinda fun to watch the first time or two!
- Plastic bag in pulp container - priceless.
- Cleaning juicer immediately - priceless. 
- I need to start composting (anyone have any tips?), the amount of peels and pulp are amazing... 
- Juicing is tiring on top of a long day, but once you are in the groove, it works. 

So, here are my final results... (these are the ones that got frozen for the night- the others are in drinking containers for tomorrow)
