my journal for today

My two major purchases for my new home are a Breville Juice Fountain Elite $299 on sale at Macy's. I got 15% off for opening a Macy's charge card. I also get a gift card later on because I bought it off my registry. Macy's actually gave me a credit card and I'm sure it's because I have a registry there. Anyway, my blender is a Kitchen Aid blender that cost me $99 and I also get a bridal gift card later from that too. They did not have a mandolin. The salesman told me that they don't carry them anymore because they have too many problems with them breaking. Honest of him to tell me so. It may sound like a lot to some people but consider that health is wealth.

Some other things I purchased:

a digital thermometer
a salad spinner
a box grater

I think keeping it simple is wise. My fiance has fruit trees and lots of wild greens growing around the house. No one sprays in his area so they're safe. They'll make great green smoothies for the summer. I got a copy of Victoria Butenko's book about green smoothies. It's a very good book so I'm going to try some of her recipes this weekend. I'm so done with shopping! I feel that my kitchen shopping is complete. I have something for myself and the ultrahuge George Foreman grill to make healthy food for my fiance, fresh caught fish,etc. His father hunts his own meat at his good age of almost 80. That's how it should be imho. If someone is going to be eat meat, at least hunt for it. That way, a person bypasses all the factory farming, advertising and other nonsense associated with commercial meat industry.

Tomorrow I make my first green smoothie to test out my blender. I'll be sure to let everyone know it goes. Today was a mostly raw day and two cups of coffee, small cups. Not as much stress though I did have a mini-episode of depression. I think it's just pre-wedding cold feet. I feel mostly back on balance. I requested that the reception hall provide me with a huge avocado salad with sunflower seeds for dinner. Yeah nice and fatty so I don't gorge myself on wedding cake. The only cake I'm having is whatever Jawnai puts in my mouth for the photographer!
