No this is not about the saying "When life gives you lemons{....put them in the freezer until they are hard and throw them at people...}make lemonade." I bought a very nifty truck in1976 and my new keys came attached to a huge plastic disk, that advised me to make lemonade, all things considered that was chilling, but when I finally sold that truck in 1995, the person who bought it rebuilt it and used it for several more years. So may-be not so much.
Lemonade is a treat, I mean real hand squeezed, with the pulp and occasional seed.
A beverage to be sipped and relished, no matter what the season. I have tried frozen concentrate, and lemonade in cartons, even Countrytime Lemonade Drink Mix, love their commercials, especially the one about summertime being one day longer one year. You can even buy a lemonade soda of sorts made by Lipton. Sounds like I have been sampling and searching for the perfect lemonade.
For years, decades even there has been a simple old fashioned juicer on the top shelf in the kitchen, next to the fruitcake pan and an octagonal pan embossed with Swans Down Cake Flour, may-be all of these items have been here since we bought the house, I that was awhile ago and I can't remember.
Every now and then, the juicer gets trotted out and put to work. Carefully washed lemons get to go for a ride in the microwave, because this is said to produce more juice. I was recently told that rolling them on the counter would do the same, so I rolled one on the counter, then another, and the third one popped. Note to self "learn to be gentle with lemons, or go back to the microwave method". At this time i have no opinion as to which is the better method. Pulp in lemonade is a part of the fun, seeds are also fun to spit out, lemons smell awesome and they are a cheerful sunny color, all of that makes them pretty much perfect to me.
