Hi Late Bloomer Cook,

I have so many tricks, I could probably have my own cooking show....

One trick that I learned myself and friends and family have all started to do is to freeze lemons and limes.  In Montreal, Canada, citrus fruits are not always cheap but when they get on sale, I buy in bulk and freeze them as is. 
When limes and lemons thaw they release lots of juice (their zest is useless though).
Why this works: when water freezes it expands.  When the water in the fruit expands it ruptures the juice sacks so that when they thaw the fruit cannot hold its juice anymore.

1/2 lime in 1 liter of cold water (4 cups) is a great thirst quencher.

Freezing overripe bananas as is also a good trick.  Cut the end off a thawed banana and squeeze out the pulp like toothpaste to make banana bread or muffins.

If you crack an egg into a bowl and some shell gets in the bowl, use one of the half-shells still in your hands to access and scoop out the little piece. Way better than using your fingers, a fork, a spoon or anything else. They almost attract each other like a magnet for some reason.
