...you freeze them! hehe... ok, lame joke, i know :P
anyway, this is a trick biow taught me, so just wish to share it with everyone. you see, it's quite difficult preparing food for one person. there're so much wastage! for example, when a recipe requires some lemon, we can't possibly just squeeze out a tiny bit of the lemon, then keep the rest. ok, we can cut up the lemon in 1/2, use one 1/2 and wrap the other 1/2 in cling film to be used later. but sometimes 1/2 a lemon is still too much, and we end up just using like 1/3 of it, with the rest being thrown away.
so what do we do? we freeze them, of course! seems like i'm freezing a lot of stuff lately, huh? anyway, even though biow's reason for freezing them is slightly different from mine, but i find this a good idea...
2 lemons will give us one tray of ice cubes (1/2 cubes)... i used 2 cubes before i remembered to take a photo! :P
this way, the next time we need to use lemon juice, we just need to pop out a cube or two (or more!). so far, i've only used it to make hot honey lemon (hence the 2 missing cubes in the pic), so it melts easily. now i'm wondering what should i do if i need them for my guacamole or other things not involving hot water... thaw them out in a cup? nuke them? crush them up with a spoon? any suggestions, people?

made guacamole last weekend, and i just plonk them into the bowl, poke-poke them with a knife (they're easily crushed) and by the time i finished chopping up the rest of the stuff, it's all melted... :)
