oranges poranges...

Let me introduce you to our new little toy...


We start with these...


and end up with this...


Breakfast, which was already my favorite meal of the day, just got a little better.  I do not like coffee and am not much for tea, but orange juice, fresh orange juice - heaven.  

I have Stacey over at Design Addict Mom to thank for that.  I bought this wonderful juicer with the Crate & Barrel gift certificate I won from her - thanks again Stacey!  When I asked the store manager to tell me about the different juicers, she dropped to her knees and hugged this one!  I kid you not, she said she loves hers so much she doesn't know how she lived without it.  I was sold and I'm one happy customer so far.  Veggie juices are next.  Anybody got some great recipes to share?

I've heard those are great things to have!

OOOOooooo - We'd LOVE one of those! We use 2 kinds here - a little plastic one that the boys press and swirl their orange halves on, and a metal press kind that belonged to my GRAND-father! No plug required for either - but messy and time consuming, but we love our fresh OJ that much! - yours looks divine!

I have been looking for a juicer for a long time and had "sorta" decided on one, another brand, so I am interested in finding out more about yours.
Intill that super hard freeze that blasted down from Canada and destroyed my citrus grove last winter, I always had way to much citrus. When anyone came to my home they always left with "lovely parting gifts" Now I have none.
I used a small hand juicer for my morning juice. It really makes you work for your morning juice.

Your photos are very enticing, now I am craving orange juice.

cheers, parsnip

Yum! Can't wait to have this when I come home!

That story of the Crate and Barrel lady hugging the juicer is true. When I found Jeanette in the store, the employee was on her knees hugging the juicer! Can get more of an endorsement than that.

It's wonderful.

I am not an orange juice person but I have to say freshly-squeezed tastes very good!

What an endorsement and that lady deserves a raise. Wishing I had a freshly squeezed glass of oj to toast her!

Oh yummers. This looks fantastic.

Hand over my heart, I swear we are twins separated at birth so similar are some of the things that happen to us!

On the weekend my Dad was tidying out the garage and said "Could you use this?" presenting me with a brand new, boxed Breville Juice Fountain which he and Mum had never used. What do you think I said?
"Does a bird have feathers? Of course I'd love it!"

I brought it home, unpacked it and then just stared at it a bit overwhelmed. So now it's sitting on the bench all shiney and silver waiting to be christened.
But after reading this, tomorrow morning it's fresh juice all 'round!

Happy day!

Oh, I love it! I can almost taste the delicious orange juice that it makes. I'm even happier now that you won. This is such a "healthy" purchase:-). xx

Nothing better than a good old OJ to start of the day right, and fresh too!
