Recruiting the husband to help clean the house inevitably leads to some sort of a tussle. His idea of cleaning is basically throwing things away. Many times I have to intervene and save things from being discarded, literally snatching them from his hands!
The latest rescue was the old juicer. It’s a beast to clean, but still works perfectly well and looks brand-new besides since it’s hardly ever used.
To demonstrate the need to keep it, I’ve been making fresh juice.
The one we like best is the green one that incorporates both fruits (apples) and vegetables (carrots and spinach). Add to that a spice (ginger) and seasoning (cider vinegar) and you have the making of a superbly healthy breakfast drink, christened in the house as The Green Guard. A small cup several times a week will do your body a lot of good!
Now It’s Features Time!

Good luck with enlisting your husband Angie. I discovered years ago that it’s best to hire a cleaning person. When I was working and traveling (and had a kid in the house) they came once a week. Now 1 to 2 times a month. His job is to make the bed, which usually only happens when he notices me eyeing it at lunch time. I don’t have to say a word. I don’t know how he can live in a mess and not even see it, it’s as bad as searching for the bread in the fridge when it is right in front of his face.
I keep saying we should move into a condo or a smaller house because then we’ll be forced to downsize and not live with so much stuff ? But then I’d take a look at my garden and I don’t want to part with it. It’s a dilemma!
Your post today hit my funny bone & I thought it was hilarious.
I envisaged you both tusseling over the juicer ? I bet it’s a different thing when his tools or hobby items are the item of debate! ?
Thank you for hosting Angie,
Jennifer
It’s pretty hilarious the way we have to debate what to throw out and what to keep, and you’re right about the tools he keeps in the garage. Do you really need 2 blowers?! ?
I’ve been away a few weeks and am dropping by from #ChasingMYLife to bring you my SOURDOUGH OATNUT HOLIDAY DRESSING, BRUSSELS SPROUTS CASSEROLE and HARVEST DUMP CAKE aka PUMPKIN PINEAPPLE CRUNCH CAKE in time for the holidays. Thank you for hosting such a great party. I hope you have a WONDERFUL week.
Thanks, Tamy. Everything sounds appetizing. Great to have you back!
Well, the juices look fabulous! ???
Thank you for choosing my pumpkin loaves, I’m so honoured to feature ???? Xx
Thanks, and the pumpkin loaf looks fantastic!?
I think my husband and yours have the same mindset when it comes to cleaning. That pumpkin loaf looks great – so creative, and I bet it’s tasty too! Thanks for hosting. I brought by some Mexican Pizza this week. It’s one of my favorite copycat recipes! 🙂
Men, what do they know! Just kidding, I heard as much as women ? Thanks for sharing your Mexican Pizza, sounds delish!
hi Angie
I love your description of your cleaning! I just cleared a kitchen cupboard and decided to get rid of some glasses we never use. M absolutely refused, and not only that he also managed to aquire some more glasses from a neighbour who had the same idea. I am completely out of space! 🙂
Thank you so much for the feature! I wish I had more time in my kitchen to expieriment but somehow the days are a little too short!
So many delicious sounding posts as always! Thank you for hosting us!
Happy Fiesta Friday!
