You know how there are those people who simply can not wake up in the morning without first having a cup of coffee? And there are even people who can’t start their day without a soda. Well, for me and my family, it is juice. This became painfully apparent when I hosted Thanksgiving with all 14 of us staying in my small but cozy home.
In preparation for the week, naturally, I went grocery shopping. I purchased 2 – 89 ounce orange juice, and 2 – gallon size apple juice. The first couple of days, the juice slowly disappeared, but by the time all had arrived, I was buying juice almost daily! Blurry eyed, with hair a mess, and bad breath, one by one, they would all stumble into the kitchen looking for the wake up call of juice.
We love juice. So much so, that when we talked of “cutting back” we all knew we weren’t talking about cutting back on our juice consumption. We were talking about cutting back on making so many dishes. And it began. The first person would make his/her way to the kitchen and take their glass of juice… but then leave the cup on the counter and without even thinking about it, the next person would pour their juice in the same cup. And so it went… drink your juice and leave the cup. The juice disappeared, but we had cut our dishes by more than half! And, unfortunately, we all caught a cold. I wonder how that happened with so much Vitamin C in our systems?
I am participating in a blogger campaign for Xango and their mangosteen juice by Bucks2Blog and was compensated. However, the views and opinions are my own.
