Juicing A Lemon or Lime

Great video tip!
From the Denver Post:
Lemons can be expensive, sometimes a buck a lemon.
Until a couple years ago, whenever I came across a recipe that called for lemon juice, I used to see dollar signs. Adding “the juice of 2 lemons” suddenly added $2 to my bill.
Then I saw this video from the late Gourmet magazine, in which Ian Knauer proves that slicing a lemon lengthwise — instead of crosswise — yields a lot more juice. Three times more, in his experiment. (Click the blue line above to watch it.)
This works for limes, too.

Barbra, This company publishes a very nice magazine. I did look at the site. They have some very interesting recipes. I am mentally composing our Thanksgiving dinner. I still cook the meal and the family enjoys some long time favorites although we try to have a change here or there! Thanks for your post. Donna
