I’ve never done that with lemons, but I just froze up a batchful of curry paste in icecube trays – 2 cubes for a dishful of curry, and they thaw so quickly!

Now to find a neighbor with lemons!

Hi Kelli–Love the jeans and lip gloss at the Orange Box Store. Gotta use what you’ve got. Much like the lemons!

Good job on the Home Depot! I have used that trick before, except my husband stands within earshot and listens to the instructions while I pretty up to the salesperson to get them!

That dripping would drive me nuts too! Way to work it at Home Depot. Gotta love that feminine charm! Also, great idea with the lemon juice!!

what a great idea for the lemons.
another use: squeezing half of a lemon into hot water in the morning is a great way to start the day.
smart girl getting what you need at the orange box store.

You’d only lose your independent girl status if you sauntered in there later to thank the boys with homemade lemonade. You did the work and you can feel great rewarding yourself with a nice bubble bath and fresh lemonade… enjoying the “fruits” of your labor. (I know, horrible, but it had to be said.)

Just a quick note… the zest of the lemons freezes well too. I zest all my lemons first and then juice them. I have a quart bag of zest and it works as well as the fresh. Always handy. Great in baked items!

Isn’t it a great feeling fixing something yourself.

Okay – now do you want to come over and help me fix my freezer? $175 for “them” to do it. This is after they fixed it for $105 with the wrong part!! Grrrr.

Good for you Kelli!!!
And fresh lemon-aid sounds wonderful. I bet your house smelled great!

As a woman who works in facilities & construction I agree with you on the “ask lots of questions” part – but I STRONGLY disagree on the “play dumb” part.

Doesn’t it feel good to fix something yourself? Now that you’ve braved home depot and fixed the faucet you’ll be handymanning a lot more around your house, I’m sure!
