But I found a solution….
Pulled the old glass reamer off the kitchen shelf and proceeded to make some fresh squeezed orange juice.
The hardness of the orange peel was deceiving because they gave up a lot of juice.

Squeezing OJ this past weekend, I was trying to hold onto that Spring Break mood.
Hand painted glasses from Mary Ellen’s gift shop in Lawrenceville- Divertido– “where everyday is a gift?”
and if you want an interesting book to read- everything you need to know about oranges- read John McPhee’s Oranges.
(I have a copy if you are in Pittsburgh)
My mom used to make fresh squeezed orange juice on Passover. I looked forward to it every year.
I love those old reamers Ruth, so efficient at the job! Sadly I don’t have one currently and have not found a decent replacement for the old one 🙁
Hope you find one in a second hand shop someday soon, They are so useful.
I will keep my eyes open … thanks for reminding me!
Hope you find one 🙂
We see semis full of oranges driving by headed to Tropicana. Picking time is here. I am always amazed when I see 3, 4 and sometimes 5 semis in a row full of oranges. Just incredible the number of oranges in these trucks…but yet, beef is still the number one product of Florida. Just a bit of trivia to start your Tuesday.
Thanks Rob. Appreciate your looking and writing. Good to know,
A great shot that shows vintage American items used in every day life. It does take me back to a slower pace I remember from childhood.
Fresh squeezed Oj – Refreshing!
It doesn’t really matter what’s on the plate but if there’s a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice next to it, you’re in for a great breakfast. That’s quite an evocative photo, Ruth. I can almost smell the juice.
mmmmmm and good idea
Thanks Yvette
I love that you own an “old school” juicer. Very cool.
