Juicing: Days 19 & 20 and Homemade Potato Chips

Juice on Dec. 3:

3 medium carrots
2 small apples
1 c. greens

Has the taste that Stu calls "carroty-green". Not a fan

Juice on Dec. 4:

1 big carrot
3 small apples
1 c. greens

This one was much better for Stu - more "apple-y".

I tried two batches of homemade potato chips in the microwave -- they turned out alright (about half of them were crispy -- and I seasoned them with pepper and onion salt), although since I didn't use paper towels for the second batch, they were more like baked potato slices. Which are fine, but I want an alternative to fried potato chips (I cannot believe the fat content! The only ones that are remotely healthy that I've found so far are the natural Lay's Baked Chips - original flavor), so I think I'll try it again but in the oven.

The original recipe calls for heating on a plate or in a steamer in the microwave for 3 minutes with reduced power each time (60%, 50%, 40%). They mentioned you could also cut a minute out for each turn if you didn't want to reduce power, and that's what I did.

One potato makes about two batches if using a large plate. You have to cut the potato into super thin slices, so make sure you have a sharp knife.
