I just zested 1.5 dozen limes and 1.5 lemons. (waste not want not)
With my bum arm that was pretty painful. I do have the rasp zesters,
but still. Winco had these limes the size of tennis balls for 25
cents and I couldn't pass them up. I know 25 cents doesn't mean
anything to those of you that live in lime country but I usually have
to pay around 50-75 cents for ping pong ball size limes. Anyway,
smells good around here. Now to juice them all and freeze.

It is, isn't it? All that good stuff right here at home
It's the old unfixable rotator cuff thingy. You use different muscles
that were meant to do something else.

Ouch. I am just healing from my third rotator cuff problem. I tired to
yank a kayak up on shore while it was half full of water. The boat
didn't budge when I yanked hard on it and it started to hurt the next
day. By Day 3 I couldn't move the arm at all. I couldn't even slip a bar
up soap up into my armpit without extreme pain, or even slip a towel up
there to dry off. After a week and a half I had limited movement. Here
I am 5 weeks later and it's pretty well healed, just a little stiffness
when I move it too far back. Luckily, it was my left arm that was disabled.

My friend is having a hell of a time with his right shoulder. While mine
came on fast and healed quickly his got gradually worse. It started
before my injury and he tried to take it easy for a while, but it is
now almost as mine was at the onset.

I put on deodorant and brush my hair by lifting my arm onto a bathroom
windowsill. Awkward but it works -- still hurts though.

The first two times I did my rotator cuffs I was able to use the hand on
my good arm to move the bad one. It was not too painful.... as long as I
held on to it. As soon as I let go and it had to hold itself in position
it was excruciatingly painful. Last month's injury was different. I
could not move it at all, not even with assistance from the good side.

I wonder if that is because of the way I hurt it, by yanking on
something too heavy and straining it in that direction. The other
injuries were more of a lateral issue.

I have to say that the first time I had a rotator cuff problem is the
most painful injury I had ever had. The second one was no less painful,
nor was the third, though it mended much quicker. However, a number of
years after the second rotator cuff I broke my collar bone. That was
pain on a whole other scale. Even with heavy duty pain medication an
accidental movement caused near blackout pain.

You can freeze citrus whole, as is. The only problem is you need to
remember to take them out of the freezer about 1/2 an hour before you
need them. They zest just fine and you can get more juice from them
after they are frozen.

I must remember this for the next time I see lemons at a price that
doesn't require taking out a line of credit. Thanks Koko.

Yes, they are pretty pricey, that's why I shop for my produce at a
local supplier, it's cheaper and great quality.
This is my favorite place for produce. They supply more than 1,000
restaurants in the area and the produce is top notch.

It's also a great source of information. On the left hand sidebar,
just click on the produce you are interested in and you will get it's
history, taste, use and several recipe suggestions.

I was going to Ping you about them but figured that by the time you
got to the store they would be gone
