Bacon and beets. Together, they create alliteration. They go together, and in some cases, one leads to the next. In this case, I was on a trip to the Public Market to pick up my Special One’s Bacon-of-the-Month subscription (a special vanilla-infused, bourbon sort), and I made a stop at a farmer’s stand. “Do you have any beets?” I said. “We have one really sad beet. It’d be good for juicing though.” “Perfect,” I said. Then she gave me a giant beet for free! Bacon and a beet.

While we’re on an alliteration kick… beets are beautiful and bold and beneficial for your body, so bottom’s up!

Juice of the Week documents my goal to drink fresh juice daily (made in batches weekly).
