Lemonade!
Picked up a lemon squeezer that I've had my eye on for
a while: http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/prod...1&SKU=12939116 I like it. Turns those lemon halves about inside out to extract the juice. Made lemonade for the first time this year. Of course, with the price of lemons, you'd better really want some lemonade! I can get them by the bag for $2.99 at Acme, buying them separately is pricey. I see Stan's Weight Watchers Lemon Creme Pie in my near future. nancy |

I know by experience that it takes approximately 77 average sized limes to make a gallon of juice. I did it once in preparation for a long camping trip. I also made a gallon of sugar syrup. We used those, plus tequila, water, and Grand Marnier (or was it Cointreau) to mix up margs. We also used them for non-alcoholic limeade. We eat and drink well on camping excursions. > nancy --Bryan |

Oh, man, if I needed to squeeze that many lemons I'd get some kind of processer, too. > I did > it once in preparation for a long camping trip. I also made a gallon > of sugar syrup.

I see that. Best part of camping, as I recall. Aside from sleeping outside. nancy |

It squeezes the fruit almost dry. I wouldn't make key lime pie if I had to juice those things by hand. Andy |

I got it for limes. They are hard little devils. They are! Obviously this tool is only as good as the hinge. We'll see. Luckily I have seen them used enough on tv that I know better than to place the lemon half the wrong way. It's counter-intuitive. nancy |

I've been using those bottles of frozen Minute Maid lemon juice (not sure of price) for making lemonaid just so I can use Splenda in it. I love the Minute Maid frozen lemonaid concentrate (which I always diluted with about 2 extra cans of water) and I like to mix sweetea with half lemonaid for "Sunshine Tea". Cutting down on the sugar is important because I drink a LOT of iced tea and lemonaid. |

Bed Bath & Beyond does sell online. Williams-Sonoma has one with a lime attachment, but I don't think that's at all necessary, but does look nice. A bit more, of course. nancy |

When we moved in, there were seven fruit trees on the property. There was barely enough room for the house. No wonder it was so small. I'd kidded the real estate gal about "hey, there's no lime tree!", so the day we moved in there was a little three-foot lime tree in a pot on the patio that she'd left for us. I don't remember what happened to that, but the productive trees we orange, lemon, nectarine, plum, peach, fig and persimmon. My favorite was the fresh peaches right off the tree. -- Blinky RLU 297263 Killing all posts from Google Groups The Usenet Improvement Project: http://blinkynet.net/comp/uip5.html |

I've tried, wooden twist models, pull lever models, even motorized spinning models. But, this simple reverse method hand squeezer blows them all away. Even better, it's faster to clean. I don't know if I'd want to tackle the orange-sized model ...they make 'em.... but for lemons and limes, there's no contest. I also need to get one of the nicer powder coated models like in your link. My Mexican squeezo cruda looks like it was cast on the beach by fugitive gypsies from melted down purloined guard rails with a rusty nail for a hinge. I alwasy wonder how much toxic waste it harbors. nb nb |

Only thing that rivals it for awful is that ghastly "Russian Tea Mix" and homemade "instant hot chocolate" mixes people fob off on others as "gifts." Dreadful stuff! |

When I was a child, the Summer drink of choice was Himbeerwasser, Raspberry Water, plain tap water with a few drops of Raspberry syrup mixed into it. The syrup was home made, just squashed berries, strained and the juice mixed with sugar and bottled. The water came down from the surrounding mountains, nice and cool and we didn't add ice. We had no refrigerator and chipping off small pieces of ice from the large block in our ice box was not done. The lemonade I drank was tap water and fresh lemon juice. I didn't like sugar in it. It was delicious, as was the raspberry drink. |

Margaret's story reminded me of a commercial I saw this morning. If I have this right ... If you have a PUR faucet filter, there are fruit flavor inserts you can put in there. I have to go look, that makes no sense at all. Well, I didn't make it up: http://www.purflavoroptions.com/ nancy |

Twenty years ago, I went salmon fishing on the Kanektok River in Alaska. The entire area is what you'd call a 'dry county', but as long as you smuggled in booze, nobody seemed to care. I think the natives depended upon the fishermen for this. Country Time Lemonade and vodka were the drink of choice in camp. There was no ice, but the concoction did the job nicely. I look back at the drink with fond memories... I've never tried Country Time since. leo -- <http://web0.greatbasin.net/~leo/> |

Do you ever make any raspberry water nowadays? Goomba, I never made raspberry syrup, our housekeeper made it. I never tried to make it. The raspberries of those days, picked in the woods near our summer house cannot be compared with today's cultivated berries that are artificially ripened and don't have the same intense flavor. When I first got married and started to keep house, someone gave me a bottle of imported Raspberry syrup from Czechoslovakia. I used it with water and with hot cereals and on top of ice cream and puddings. My husband loved it. Once the bottle was empty, we never replaced it. When we first moved into this apartment thirty years ago, someone else gave me a bottle of imported Raspberry syrup. I never opened it. Someone saw it in my bar a couple of years ago and asked whether she could have it when I told her how long it had been in my possession, without being used. I gave it to her. Naturally. ) |
