Juiced up!


I adore lemons...besides milk and parmesan cheese, they are the third most important item in my pantry. If I don't have lemons in the house, I develop a mild case of panic. In the summer, on my precious days off, my favorite thing to do is make a single glass of lemonade (juice of one lemon, 1/2 glass full of ice, 1 cup of water, two packets of splenda) and sit on my deck with an issue of More, Real Simple or Vogue and just chill. What I don't adore is squeezing the juice out of the lemons. I actually injured my wrist this lemonade season using the old fashioned reamer I picked up at an estate sale years ago.

Today, during a particularly successful trip to TJ Maxx, I happened upon the perfect solution: a cobalt blue, hydraulic juicer that takes the pain out of juicing and still looks completely adorable and vintage in my kitchen. Cost: $10. No more repitive stress injuries from juicing lemons: Priceless.
