Oranges and lemons
Got home the other day from shopping to find a bag of lemons hanging on the door - they turned out to be from my new neighbours from Madrid, who own a holiday home here. There are 11 of them, and they are HUGE. (The lemons, not the neighbours)My builder arrived today with a bulging bag of oranges. There must be 30 of them.
I don’t currently have a kitchen until said builder finishes strutting his stuff, which at this rate could be February or March, so making orange juice and lemonade is problematic.
Suggestions?

I can come over to visit you, we can peel the oranges or lemons, put them in a big half barrel or pan, and we can take off our shows, just gotta be careful for my corns and a little bit of toe fungus on my feet, but no matter.. We'll stomp on the oranges or lemons with our bare feet and make lemon or orange juice.
Cool idea, huh? And you can send bottles of it to all your CS friends. And by the way, all that citrus juice helps to smooth away any roughness, corns, callouses and fungus on the feet.
So, it's beneficial to us, the stompers, and to the drinkers.
You may even break into a whole market of a different kind of lemon-aid and orange juice.

Well don't just stand there, lad, move move move move! We're on the clock here!
Just the oranges now and I'm about to squeeze myself a glass. Love those huge glasses in Mimi's photos!
And when I looked, it turned out the oranges were in fact naartjies which I think most of you would know as mandarins, tangerines, clementines or satsumas - in fact who knew small easy-peel fruits of the citrus variety had so many names?? So I will peel and freeze in segments and fingers crossed.
Freezer, brace yourself for incoming
No-one has come forward to say they saw the others. There are quite a few in there. Could be interesting.
Wanted to buy them on several occasions but for some reason, I put it off until it was too late and it was time for us to leave Spain
Art honey.....you think we could visit Spain again so that your MiMi can taste them mangoes?
And I can teach you how to cut and eat them easily, there is a definite knack
