Refreshing Kiwi, Apple and Coconut Drink

Refreshing Kiwi, Apple and Coconut Drink
Kiwi- Apple and coconut drink, reminded me of my time spent in the jury room, one of the recipes I found while flipping one of many torn and tattered health magazines, waiting for the court session to begin.
Don't judge this brilliant combination before trying it out. It is full of health goodness (yeah...coming from a health magazine!! of course)
We have often been told:
"Don't judge a book by its cover, don't judge a person by his/her look" We try our best not to be judgemental but we are only humans, human err and I confessed, that I erred.
As a law-abiding citizen, one has to fulfill one's duty when one is called to carry out jury duty.
My name was up, I had no reason and no way to escape but to get it over and done with.
With mixed feelings (excitement and apprehension); I made my way.
In my head, I imagined that the court cases would be as exciting as my favorites; Good Wife or Law and Order, The Practice, Boston Legal, or the once-famous LA Law.
...but that can only happen in tv, not reality. The reality is - the courthouse was gloomy and cold (I think they purposely made the room cold).
After a few rounds of "lucky" dip, my number was called and I became one of 14.
I took my oath and sat, and soon the defendant was seated in the dock. One glance towards the person and I am ashamed to admit that I judged him/her by the look, and I was not the only one....
Without going into details...let me end this post by saying, that it was an eye-opener, an experience, and a huge responsibility, a heavy weight was placed on my shoulders; a person's future was in the hands of 12 jurors (2 was voted out during deliberation).. but you can rest assured, we weren't judging the defendant by his/her appearances anymore, we listened to cross-examinations, scrutinized pieces of evidence made available to us, 'Beyond Reasonable Doubt' kept ringing in everyone's head ...

DeleteHi Lisa
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that we got to enjoy this juice recipe from you if not you were waiting for the court session to begin. I am sure it must have been an eye opener and a great experiencing in the court as a juror. Good for you though yes I know it is a heavy responsibility.
yeah... it was an experience, hope my name is lost somewhere in the system
Deletewell, i guess you are right that we humans tend to be judgemental, bias..at times..very natural la although we know that is not right..hehe..
ReplyDeletethis sounds like a nice drink!
thank you Lena :D
DeleteThis looks so good and refreshing! Love recipes that use kiwi!
ReplyDeletethank you Julia :D
DeleteBeautiful drink! I love that green :)

DeleteIt's true. I think everyone at times judge people based on looks alone. At least you realized it.
ReplyDeleteNow this drink looks fantastic. But I won't judge it by its looks either..I guess I need to try it to make sure ;)
Thank you Cathleen :D
DeleteSuch a beautiful and delicious drink! Never had these combination in juice before and I'd love to try this flavor!
