Orange Juice
On a warm tropical morning, there is nothing better than
fresh squeezed orange juice. I thought I
would show you how it is done here in Santa Cruz.
I remember getting a nice orange juice from a lady outside
the Capilla Jesus Nazareno, Chapel of Jesus the Nazarene. So I walked over there today. While she made me an orange juice and I took
pictures, I asked how she is doing.
“Life is hard,” she said. Mostly her problems centered on how people
treat her poorly. I left a little extra
from my $0.50 orange juice. It was just
a few cents more, but I thought she would cry.
So here is how she makes it.
First, she has a little hand operated machine that peals the
orange. All her oranges had just been
peeled, so I have no pictures of the oranges getting peeled. Then she cuts about four oranges in
half. One at a time, she puts a half in
the press and squeezes out the delicious goodness. You can smell it!
The finished product is delicious, fresh squeezed orange
juice for about $0.50.
I could go to the market and buy a bottle of OJ, but the
experience is so much richer.
