Squeezing Oranges

Every Sunday, Larry squeezes oranges so we can have fresh juice with our eggs and potatoes.

For years, he used an old juicer from the 60s that we picked up at the Pasadena Flea Market. But it gradually wore out. So about a year ago I bought a new version of it, and it was quite successful. But over time, bolts have sheared, the gear and clogged, and I went out to find yet another one.

And I bought this incredibly simple hand-held squeezer at Sur La Table.

Last Sunday, Larry tried it for the first time, and found it worked really well.

I like it because there is very little that can break, and it cost under $20. I hope it lasts more than a year.
