We use lemon and lime on food all the time, very good squeezed on
beef, pork, and especially poultry, and of course on seafood, also
excellent squeezed on veggies and in salads. I squeeze fresh oranges
on poultry, especially on my Thanksgiving turkey, and then the
squeezed rinds go in the cavity. I slide orange slices under chicken
skin. Often I put the squeezed citrus rinds in my Crystal Palace
glass, goes in the fridge until I'm ready. I buy fresh lemons in a
two pound bag, typically 7-8, costs less that way... the 2 pound bag
is usually $3.99, single lemons can cost 99¢ each and typically not
very good lemons, very thick rinds and not much juice. I use lemons
for sweet and sour dishes, lemon juice and raisons. I don't like
bottled lemon juice for anything more than freshening sink drains.
