“They don’t make things like they used to”

Margie has many tools at the farm that are clearly antiques.  She doesn’t keep them around as decoration; some of them we use on a daily basis and others occasionally.  One of my favorites is this citrus press.  I’ve used it a few times to save Key Lime juice when the hardy little tree produces a flush of fruit.  It’s so nice to have Key Lime ice cubes all year in the freezer.  Whenever I need it for a recipe or simply to dress a salad or an avocado I put a cube or two in a cup and let it defrost for a few minutes.
