Will it handle KEY limes?

Isn't that what I said? Note the references to "bag" and later to
Persian limes.

Quoted message said:

Did you miss the key word, KEY? You know, the shape of a key that
goes into a lock? Will it handle that shape of limes?

Okay, thanks!
Pardon me, but I did not associate persian limes with key limes.
Please forgive my ignorance.

Persian limes are the standard larger limes.

But yes, the squeezer works well for the small Mexican or "Key" limes.
If you aren't familiar with them, they look like this:

Thanks. That was more helpful, but I'm worried about the diameter.
Might still work.

Limes are easy to process, not quite sure how to incorporate the
pretty peaches, probably just dive in and much au jus:

Quoted message said:

Sure is, and pretty high powered, only as you can plainly see there

robin pull a worm from the ground at 1000 yards up close and personal
like it's in my dinner plate.

Sounds like fun. :-) Should be cool during moon eclipses too.

Be neat if you could attach a camera to it.

I can. I even have the adapter that fits my last camera, but doesn't
fit my new camera. But it was kinda tricky focusing at so high a
magnification (20-60X 80mm). My new camera's tele goes to 15 X, does
a pretty good job without the scope.

Yes, I've pointed out to friends how all of the
different species of trees around here have
bottoms at exactly the same height. It's
remarkable the first time you notice it.
I give them a little while to think about it,
then tell them about the deer.

Right away, you can see which trees aren't
touched by the deer, because they are the
exceptions to the rule.

I'd like to make some room in my 'frig and it would seem to me that some of
the following would be fine stored at room temperature....

all vinegars? ( I have the basic ones plus balsamic and rice vinegar also)

Quoted message said:

My g'mama stored open jars of chocolate sauce, jams, jellies, mustard
and ketchup without refrigeration. I refrigerate everything that says
to do so "after opening" -this includes pickles and ReaLemon, and all
jams and jellies.

Vinegar? Never in the fridge - same for W'shire sauce, soy sauce,
Tabasco, wine vinegar, cooking sherry, etc. I don't know what those
other things are you listed.

Brown rice vinegar (the pricey stuff) keeps its flavor better
refrigerated. Sometimes it will say this on the botrtle. Normal
clear rice vinegar, or any other vinegar I can think of, it
does not make any difference.

I keep my mustard refrigerated, but when I opened
a new jar of the same brand as the old jar (Trader
Joe's dijon mustard), I noticed the bite was much
greater in the new jar. I use rather a lot of
mustard (especially since discovering the frozen
Australian range-fed ribeye steaks at Trader Joe's).

I'm coming around to the idea that mustard should
be replaced at regular intervals, no matter how
much you use. A few pennies worth of mustard
greatly enhances a $4-$5 steak that has been
pan-seared, chilled, and cut into thin slices.
It's a false economy to use less than the best
mustard.

I'm almost to the point of saying a new jar
should be opened each time. If I adopted that
strategy, I would be throwing away about 7 jars
per week.

Perhaps there's an alternative? The chemical
responsible for the bite is allyl isothiocyanate,
which has a melting point of -80C. It's not going
to freeze in my freezer, so I'm not sure it would
extend the life of the mustard by freezing it in
something like an ice cube tray. I think it
would continue to evaporate, and that freezing
would be futile. Plus, it would contaminate
all that chocolate I keep in my freezer.

Now I just have to find one. :-) Looks really handy.

I still just have a cone shape type with the ridges to filter out seeds
and my fingers provide the upper "squeezing" action.

That is a BIG snapper! You have to watch out for those. I've removed
ones like that from the road and tossed them in the river.

Their necks are damned near as long as the shell so they can hurt you
badly if you are not careful. ;-)

I've heard they are very edible, but have never been able to bring
myself to kill a healthy turtle...

You got really lucky picking up a snapping turtle that you didn't lose
a part of your anatomy... there is a specail way to handle them and
even then they can get you.

Pick them up by the tail and hold at arms length.

Same for soft shell turtles.

Safest way is using a shovel and a 5 gallon bucket.

I buy small jars or small tubes. Tubes are better because air can be
