Then, randomly in the mail, I received a gadget I had never even seen before. (maybe I was stuck in my own little bubble or something, because I see them everywhere now). My mom sent me a lemon squeezer in the mail! I didn't really think anything of it until I started using it and got at least DOUBLE the juice out of my lemons compared to hand-squeezing them!!
This is why I urge you to get one if you don't already have one. I'm not sure about groceries around you, but it seems that lemons and limes are always on sale at Shoprite. Last week, in fact, we just bought 8 limes for $2, even though we had no plans for them in the weekly menu. We always end up using them, even if we just turn them into fresh-squeezed limeade (lime juice, sugar, water, delicious...)
Lemons and limes are so handy to have in stock in the fridge. We almost never buy salad dressing, because it's so easy just to whip up a vinaigrette with vinegar, oil and lemon (and whatever other tasty herbs and spices you want to add). When eating a light stir-fry, we dip the meat in a salt, pepper, and lemon juice mixture. Lime juice is an essential part of making guacamole. They also have good health benefits such as antioxidants and vitamin C.
I promise it will be worth the $12 or so you will spend if you get one (don't get the $4 cheap plastic one, it won't last). Then, go make some limeade, it's the BEST refreshing treat in this never-ending heat :D
Toodles.
