The last few oranges from Mom and Dad in Florida met the squeezer the other day. A small glass of oj was always a morning staple next to that bowl of oatmeal or hot creme of wheat. Some mornings were extra special. A glass of fresh squeezed waited for us in the warm kitchen. We had one of those glass orange squeezers, and I always jumped at the chance to 'make' the juice when Mom asked for help. An upper lip laced with pulp was the only consequence. These days, a moustache, adds a bit of a nuisance to the whole process, but the reaching of the bottom of the glass still brings the... "Ah!".

ReplyDeleteFresh squeezed is so delicious and tastes so good! Lucky you to get citrus from Florida. The different shades of the pulp in your photograph must mean different varieties?
