froze and thawed about 18" of a local bridgesii maybe 8 times. as my previous efforts - using heat - had been less than satisfying, i tossed in a foot of pc. repeated the freeze/thaw cycle maybe 10 more times. also squeezed two lemons into the mix. noticed that the cuticle completely separated from the flesh on the bridgesii so i tossed the cuticle. note that this was only the outer green layer of flesh plus cuticle to start with. after the last thaw i filtered and squeezed the liquid through a microfiber towel resulting in about two thirds of a water glass. the liquid had a light green tint but was mostly clear.
the taste was quite mild and not disgusting at all. the snotty texture however was a bit difficult to swallow. i think it took five or six attempts to down it all. there was no nausea whatsoever during the entire experience although i felt a bit bloated at the beginning. it was two in the afternoon when i drank it.
started feeling it within an hour. took my dog on a 45 minute walk. as sunset started i could not keep my eyes open. laid down with eyes closed with noise cancelling over the ear headphones. started with miles davis and john coltrane (the live version of a love supreme was unbelievably fantastic). around 05:45 the next morning i had the velvet underground on shuffle when i realized that i needed to sleep. took off the headphones and went to bed.
so i listened to music for twelve hours straight in a state of bliss. and that's a good place to stop. safe travels.
