Riverside County is orange country, not to be confused with Orange County. Oranges and other citrus fruits are ubiquitous, inexpensive and delicious. We can pick up peelable navel oranges for 5 pounds for one dollar.

| Navel Oranges 5 lbs for $1 |
At this price we can "waste" them to make fresh squeezed orange juice daily. Navel oranges are real sweet and ripe and make a great orange juice. Up in the City of Riverside, not to be confused with Riverside County, there are many roadside orange stands that also sell fresh squeezed orange juice by the half-gallon and gallon.

| Our Hamilton Beach Orange Reamer |
At recent yard sale we bought this 1970's Hamilton Beach Orange Juicer for a few bucks. It works automatically when you press down with the orange. It even catches the seeds and pulp and also has a spout to pour the orange juice into a glass. Now we can have fresh squeezed orange juice every morning. What a treat! After searching online I came across a video of a guy who says "don't use the reamers, get an orange press instead." He says that you get bitterness from the rind if you use the reamers.

We haven't had that problem with our reamer, but we will keep our eyes open for an orange press at the yard sales. I am sure we will find one!
