12/18/2017 Sunny Monday
In the morning, I woke up in to corn bread smell. I realized David is not in the bedroom, he must be in the kitchen baking.
After having his delicious corn bread, I decided to make something special for us as well. I walked to my herbal & veggie garden, it was so sunny and bright even in the winter. I picked two pieces of kale, two pieces of celery, a few mints, and one lemon. I cleaned them very well and put them in the blender, added honey. After a few minutes ‘noise, I got this garden fresh green juice. I poured it into two small cute wine cups, and brought it to David. He drank it at once. I gave him the second cup and asked him to sip slowly and enjoy the smell and taste. He did, it was fabulous! We are going to start out trip in two weeks; I feel I am going to miss my lovely garden and homemade food.
I want to recommend my “garden fresh green juice” as it tastes very good and has multiple healthy benefits:
Kale: full of vitamin A and K, a good detoxification herb
Mint: good for digestion system, anti-inflammatory
Celery：good for your bones
Lemon: detoxification, a lot of vitamin C
Honey: a lot of manganese, iron, and good for digestion system
幸福如此地简单
早晨起来便闻到了从楼下厨房里飘来的玉米饼的香味，转头看大伟不在，一定是他在厨房烘培。还有两周，我们就要开始旅行了，不知途中能否吃到大伟烤的东东了。趁着在家，我也决定做一些特别的东西。推开侧门，来到我阳光灿烂的菜园，我摘了KALE, 薄荷，芹菜，柠檬，洗干净后，加入蜂蜜，用打汁机做了两杯新鲜的蔬果汁，我叫它“绿色排毒饮”。大伟一饮而尽，我告诉他要细细地品味，这不是药，他开玩笑说，但愿没有毒药（我们之间的笑话），但是很快喝了。
这杯“绿色排毒饮”味道极好，营养丰富，制作简单，向大家推荐：
Kale: 绿叶菜，加州很常见，含丰富维他命A 和K, 排毒效果好
薄荷：提神解郁，缓解感冒头疼，可消除胃胀气和消化不良，治感冒和皮肤过敏
芹菜：含丰富的钙和铁，降血压，降血脂，健骨骼
柠檬：含丰富维他命C，治感冒，抗菌，提高免疫力。柠檬皮里含丰富柠檬精油，所以打汁时建议要连皮一起打。
蜂蜜：润肺止咳，解毒养颜，润肠通便，提高免疫力等。
