The Tangerine Project

I am a "Gadget Queen," who enjoys both electronic & kitchen gizmos.  I actually even use them all, well, almost all of them. 

Yesterday, a friend of mine asked me if I had a citrus juicer because she had a large bag of tangerines that they couldn't peel but might possibly yield some juice. She had hurt herself and was not able to hand juice them.  I replied that I only had two kinds of lemon juicers which would be too small.  


Suddenly, I recalled that my food processor from five years ago came with a juice attachment that I had NEVER used.  (I don't like any form of citrus fruits.)  Weird, but true.  I dug through my gadget pantry, found it and then volunteered to help her out.

This morning, I washed them all and read the directions for the citrus attachment.  My friend had given me a LARGE container in which to put all of the juice.  Werner (Mr. Green Thumbs) offered to cut them all in half for me as I was "processing" them.  The machine and juicer worked great, however the end result was less than we had hoped for!

And now..... A drum roll, please!

The Finished Project!

Perhaps my friend can enjoy ONE Tangerine Screwdriver.

P.S.  Here is a direct quote from my friend that I just received via e-mail.


"I took my vitamins with the tangerine juice you made for me after you left because I hadn't taken them yet today and it was actually delicious.  Very fresh tasting.  Now I know why people like to make their juice fresh.  Thank you so much!!!"


So, I guess that good things come in "small" packages!
