Odds are that the smushed, stabbed, and squeezed lemon will go back
into the fridge where it will be forgotten till it rots, which will be
in about three days once smushed, stabbed, and squeezed. It's much
better to slice off a couple wedges for your dish and use the rest to
enhance your imbibing... no lemon gets wasted so long as there's some
vodka, wine, or better yet a pitcher of bloody marys. Lemons are
cheap, I don't see the point in this stupid tip/trick... it's lke
opening a beer, sipping a few drops, and saving the rest for days
later.
