Juicing K

I was in Skopje last weekend and I made an impulse purchase: a juicer. No one has brought fresh juice to Kosovo yet. I crave, crave, crave fresh carrot juice. I found German imported carrot juice in the supermarket, but it tasted like preservatives, not carrots. I have eyeballed juicers here, but I'm not quite ready to spend $120 on a counterfeit juicer. I was ready to spend $35 on one that comes with a 24-month guarantee. The juicer is small and messy and a bit of a pain to operate, but it gives me fresh juice. And I really, really, really appreciate that.

Really, really, really. On my first day with it, I juiced 2 kilos of carrots (4.5 pounds or so). (I'm not turning orange yet.) The second batch of carrot juice I mixed with apple juice and orange juice. Very nice.

As soon as I have a bit more time, I'll upload some of my Skopje pics.
