Today is Saturday May 4, 2013 and my Mom and I have been given a plot of land by the Local Park and Planning in Washington DC. We had a plot like this back in 1983 for a few years. And I do not remember most of what we did plus its been 30 freakin years since I garden. Ok I will calm down… I bought a weed whacker from Home Depot this week. I didnot even know they have battery packs now. So since its about 3:30 pm We are going over to wack more weeds. BTW they no longer call it a weed wacker, now its a trimmer. La Dee Da

Time for my late night juice – Collards, Spinanch, curly kale, straight kale, bok choy, golden beets, ginger minniolas, papaya. Since it is so late I thought, better do this in the morning. Then I thought again, NAW! I need my juice.
My favorite produce is Kale and the minneolas and ginger. The energy levels this juice gives me is off the chain.
Dear Friends –
I thought you would like to know about these wonderful events during Mind-Body week. Check it out!
Thursday, April 18th 2013
Opening Evening Session Suburban Hospital, Bethesda, MD <map>About:
MBW-D.C. events have been inspired by earlier efforts of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with the 2008 NIH Yoga Week and 2009 NIH Conditioning and Relaxation Week events. MBW-D.C. is now a private venture that has been gaining momentum through partnerships with other academic and wellness centers and practitioners from the D.C. Metropolitan area including American University and Suburban Hospital of John’s Hopkins Medical Center. Equally important, the event has garnered significant community response in the past several years which we hope will continue to evolve.
Mission:
Mind-Body Week D.C. Mission
The Mindfulness Center and other mind-body Centers and practitioners in the Washington D.C. metropolitan area are committed to promoting and improving the health of our community, and thereby also contributing to the health of the nation. Mind-Body Week D.C. takes these efforts into the private sector, and considers evidence-based medical research and knowledge as the foundation for the appropriate application of mind-body therapies, and their role in the standard of medical care.
The goals of this program are to:
- Advance the evidence-based body of knowledge of mind-body by bringing together scientists, practitioners and interested health consumers, by facilitating the integration of research on mind-body-spirit therapies at all levels, and by encouraging translational research and the application of new scientific knowledge to develop improved disease prevention, disease treatments, cures, and the capacity for optimal wellbeing.
- Provide professional development activities, information, and educational resources for scientists at all stages of their careers, including undergraduates, graduates, and postdoctoral fellows, and increase participation of scientists from a diversity of therapeutic, cultural and ethnic backgrounds.
- Promote public information and general education about the nature of scientific discovery and the results and implications of the latest research in mind-body therapies. Support active and continuing discussions on ethical issues relating to the conduct and outcomes of mind-body research, and their role in the legal and medical Standard of Care.
- Inform Medical and other health care practitioners about scientific knowledge and recent developments in mind-body research, and their implications for the medical standard of care, societal benefit and continued progress in medical care and the health of our community and nation as a whole.
- Inform legislators and other policymakers about new scientific knowledge and recent developments in mind-body research and their implications for public policy, medical standards, regulatory standards, societal benefit, and continued scientific progress.
This Thursday and Friday evenings at:
Suburban Hospital
5:00-9:00pm.

Really? $4.99 a pound for young coconut.
Ridiculous, you say. After our recent Juice Veggies Health Meetup this past Monday. Luzy Perez our guest speaker demonstrated how to open and use a coconut. We were all very excited to try it ourselves, so I when out this evening and purchased 4 young coconuts from the local Food Co-op in Takoma Park Maryland. I love shopping there and have been a member for a while now.
So I found the coconut, and at the counter the volunteer insisted that the coconut was $4.99 per pound. I just laughed when she said this, however I shared as nicely as I could that it was mark $4.99 EACH! She said no the cash register clearly states by the pound. I tried to explain that it has to be a mistake, but she insisted. So off to the produce section we went where it clearly said $4.99 Each.
I bring this up because in many of the small mom and pop stores (and big chains for that matter), that have limited paid staff, and many volunteers and you have to watch your prices. Example being charge for organic produce when you should be charge for commercial produce.
JUICE VEGGIE HEALTH TIP: Try not to get so high on life that you overlook the charges at the cash register!

Thursday, April 18, 2913 1:47 am. I have used my new juicer several times now. I still use my masticating Omega juice equally as much. There are just certain produce that you should not use a centrifugal juicer on: lemon grass, wheat grass are two. But you can juice 5 times faster with the Breville centrifugal juicer that the Omega masticating one. So when I have time, and want the most potent juicing experience, I use the Omega. When I wake up in the morning and have a appointment in 2 hours - definitely the Breville.
Friday, April 12, 2013 Finally took the time to go to Best Buy and look for a juicer. Unfortunately, the Breville juicer that they have on their website, was not in stock on the floor. SHUCKS! After leaving Best Buy, I picked up some parrot food for my Parrot’s 31st Birthday and then decided to go to IKEA for home organizing paraphernalia. Then scooped up my mother, and drove to Rockville MD – looking for a Bed Bath and Beyond for my juicer. By now I am getting tired of looking for a juicer. So I saw and bought the Breville.
April 4, 2013: Since I have a champion juicer already ( the masticating one) and last week I finally wore out my centrifugal budget juicer. I now have to decide and start looking for a new juicer. George Vermillion, known as the Juice Coach recommended I check out BestBuy. I also went online nto Costco, Macy’s, Wal-Mart, Home Shopping Network and QVC. I go to the HSN & QVC because if I purchase a high-end item, these TV On-line programs will spread it over a payment time which is really helpful.
Oh, also I went online to Craigslist to see what was available, I did see a couple of interesting juicers, but if I do not hear back today, I will probably go to BestBuy. They had the most competitive prices. I am calling my friend Sandra to see if she would go with me. So here I go.
Update April 7, 2013: Still have not had a chance to by a new juicer. I did, however find a centrifugal Omega 1000 juicer, that I found in the back room under some “stuff”. I believe I purchases it early 2000. Cleaned it up and it works fine. What the benefit to me with this juicer is that it has a bio-degradable filter you place inside – which makes clean-up of the pulp easier. It is excellent in keeping the pulp separate. Who Knew!!??
Last week I decided to try the Thai LemonGrass Soup, at a restaurant for the first time. Normally, I use my lemongrass stalks 
for juicing. Lemongrass has so many wonderful properties, which I would normally go into detail at this point. BUT, I need to make this soup, I have been dreaming about making this Thai Lemon Grass Soup for a over a week now so. As soon as I can get a great recipe then I will be sober enough to give all the juicy soupy details about Thai lemongrass.
