Make limeade. No really. If you find yourself living with 9 other people and you receive 15 pounds of limes that are about to go bad, the best thing to do is juice them all and make gallons of limeade.
We get donations from a local family owned Market called Spinelli's Market, which happens to actually be a block from my church. Once a week they give us all their produce that is on its last legs so that it doesn't just get thrown out, but has a chance to get eaten. It's all still good, just sometimes a little shriveled...or turning brown, in the case of the limes.
So, we were stumped with these limes, cause they are a very specific fruit, with a very distinct flavor...and they all really needed to be used within a couple days before they went bad. So we made limeade. Then we still had 14.5 pounds of limes left. I decided that the best use of my Saturday afternoon would be to juice all the limes into a pitcher, and then to freeze the juice. After getting about 3/4 a gallon of lime juice, we made a LOT more limeade over the course of the next 2 days and then froze the remaining half gallon of pure juice into our ice cube trays so we could enjoy limeade all year.
That was last Thursday.
Yesterday we got 50 pounds of potatoes, among other things. If you have great potato recipes, I'd love them.
