A Kitchen Tip

I learned this at a cooking class at the library that I took recently - not sure if it's old news or not:

If you need to squeeze the juice out of a lemon and don't have a small juicer (like me - I only have one of those heavy duty ones that would be pointless to lug out for one little lemon), use a pair of tongs (salad tongs, bbq tongs, whatever).

Put the lemon in like so:













and squeeze the handles of the tongs until you get all the juice out. It's really quite effortless!
