I decided to go on a modified juice feast as I've been dreaming of food for days now and it just feels right. I hope everyone is doing well and I will keep you posted of my progress. This has been wonderful!

OK so today, about 1 quart of green juice into my juice making routine my beloved Acme Juicerator, the one I bought used in 1988 or 1989, died. Just quit. Expired. It is deceased. Has met its demise.
