I really do like Big Blue.

 

do you juice  pulp side down / rind up   

 

the other way around :  so that in the end the 1/2 citrus is reversed  i.e. inside- out ?

Yes - pulp down / rind up - but it doesn’t reverse just squeezes 

[rotuts]

that's the way Id do it

 

however , on some sort of show that was decent

 

it was noted that you get more juice out of citrus id you reverse the 1/2 by

 

placing it in the juicer  pulp side up to start , then in the end revering the fruit

 

simple to find out

 

just cut an item in exactly 1/2 and try it each way and note the results.

 

best done I think before  too much ' mixing ' is done

Indeed - wise to test before too much 'mixing' done!

 

I sometimes stack the shells to get more out of them.

Wow. You could take Big Blue on to the side of the road and set up a fresh juice stand! That is, if you ever want another occupation....

Kerry have you ever tried the Hamilton Beach?  About the only appliance I love as much as my CSO.

Electric citrus reamer? I’ve admired them at thrift stores but then bought cheap ones that aren’t as nice.

The leftover ‘broccoli cooked to death’ and asparagus with some eggs for my dinner. I offer no excuse except that I was hangry!

No, the commercial manual model 932:

http://www.hamiltonbeachcommercial.com/en/manual-citrus-juicer-932.html

 

Made since 1932, NSF, no batteries required.  I use mine every day.  I removed the silly drip cup and just place a measuring cup underneath.  The business end is heavy chrome plated zinc.  Base is coated cast iron.  Strainer is stainless steel.  Best part is it doesn't take a lot of strength.

 Good morning. I didn’t wake up quite so early this morning, thank goodness.  But the rest of the house is still asleep.

Forgot to post these photographs of Kerry‘s grocery shopping from yesterday: 

 

 

 Chicken marylands which were on sale for $.99/ pound. Couldn’t pass on those.  Molasses, mussels, cocktail tomatoes, frozen peas and Kerry’s snack of choice, salted peanuts.

 

 

 More eggs, two (frozen) Ace demi baguettes which along with the mussels will become dinner tonight, scallions, garlic and Asian pears. I intend to pickle the pears. 

 

 

Dishwashing detergent, sesame seeds, white wine vinegar, panko and sunflower oil. 

 

Kerry is off today so the plan is to drive over to Max Burt’s Farm (click) in Gore Bay.

Now (to my warped mind) this would be the perfect basket for a show like Chopped.

 

P.S. What the hell are chicken Marylands?

 What the Australians call chicken leg quarters. Kerry and I adopted the name because it is shorter and now there’s no going backwards.

Don’t think I have ever seen it any other way in most supermarkets. I have seen Kerry with some in bottles but not sure where it came from.

Did you hear about the little mole family that woke up early one morning.  First Daddy Mole peeked out of the hole and took a big sniff.

He smelled some delicious bacon frying.  Next Mommy Mole did the same but she smelled bread being toasted.  Now Baby Mole tried

and tried to reach the top of the burrow but he just couldn't.  Finally, in frustration he cried...."All I smell is mole-asses.

Sneaking out of the thread now.

Bottles come from the US. Canada is all in paper. I went through a phase where I bought a ton of it. Interesting the questions you get asked at the checkout.

New puppy at Martha’s (one of Kira’s caregivers up here). Kira was very excited to see Martha and her daughter this morning. And now she is truly happy!

I have an electric one that was a gift from my grandmother many years ago. I don't know where it ranks in quality level but I've had it for over 20 years and it still works great. She overheard me mentioning to my sister that I was thinking about getting a juicer and got that for me. She had one just like it, her and my grandfather had a winter place in Florida and she had a couple orange trees in her yard so she used it for the oranges. I didn't have the heart to tell her that wasn't the type of juicer I meant but it has come in handy at times. I don't use it often, not worth the cleanup for one or two pieces of fruit, but it's nice when I have reason to juice a large amount of citrus in one shot.

Wonder which is more environmentally friendly?  Most places in the US you can recycle glass, but there a lots of places where you can't recycle wax coated paper cartons.  I like the carton, though.  Only problem might be determining how much you have left.

She looks a little annoyed at Arrow taking more than his share of her chair!

Little Green and her brother Big Blue

 

Thanks for the photos, they are quite lovely! 

 

In AZ, we get a lot of citrus at times. Our own trees have had some issues (sniff, had to replace them) but we also get friends and neighbours giving us bags of oranges, lemons, grapefruit. I bought a very inexpensive electric B+D juicer, which has worked amazingly well for the past 8 years. I keep thinking it might break, but it keeps juicing along. it's virtue is that it is very light and compact (easy to store on the bottom shelf) and comes apart for easy cleaning. However, it is a bit noisy and is nowhere near as attractive as your pair!
