If I eat the corned beef hash and fried eggs with fresh carrot juice, that's healthy, right?

Of course!

... Now I'm hungry. My oatmeal pales in comparison to your OMNOMishness.

Best. Icon. Evar.

Oooo, I could have oatmeal for lunch. Mmm.

Sure! (she says, sipping cinnamon coffee and contemplating the last two brownies...)

You know, I grew up thinking carrot juice was something people joked about, not something they drank. You've inverted my entire world view, drat you! (Especially when you did the adding-fresh-ginger thing.)

What if I put garlic in it? That's good for cholesterol levels!

If you smell like Gilroy during the Garlic Festival, you may have compensated. But it's not called garlicstatin, you know. *g*

On the other hand, reducing stress is crucial for the effective function of the circulatory system. And corned beef hash and eggs is one of the most effective comfort foods known.

Also, I made my own corned beef hash (made it last night from leftovers from braised "boiled" dinner. Viva la Crock Pot.) So this has potatoes and carrots and garlic and onions and turnips and parsnips in it, in addition to the corned beef.

And. Er. Butter.

Ahem.

I'm sure that "butter" was shorthand for "olive oil." *g*

Dude, this is a pretty good example of why, whenever the CDC does a study, they find that the more people cook from scratch the healthier they are. Canned corned beef hash fails the turnip test.

Turnips! Yum!

And I would suspect that I do a better job of cleaning the fat off my corned beef than Hormel does, since I'm not really interested in making it weigh and bulk as much as I can for as little money as possible.

(Don't you always use "butter" as a shorthand for "olive oil"?)

This is what I was gonna say. How food makes you feel emotionally is pretty important for your health, too.

Also, was the shocker that I drank it, or that it's goooood?

Adding ginger to anything can do nothing but improve it. Approximately linearly with quantity of ginger added.

(I love carrots, but carrot juice is... way too carroty for me. I must try it with ginger, though.)

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter. Beet juice? What's it like?

It has a very earthy, almost "meaty" flavor, with a bit of sweetness. If you've had roasted beets, think of that. I started by mixing it with other juices, like cranberry, but now I can drink it straight. It's definitely best without salt.

I started drinking it because it's a natural liver tonic. But now I lurv it for its own self.
