theres gotta be something quicker and easier than hand squeezed!

I tried it in the juicer and it got too much of the skin taste (i peeled them vbut still the white stuff on it, kwim?) it was YUCK!

By juicer do you mean the serious kind that makes carrot juice and such? Not that you want/need another contraption, but I have an electric citrus juicer (http://www.cooking.com/products/shprodde.asp?SKU=211028) that works basically like a motorized reamer--gets just the juice and some pulp, not the pith. My mom bought it for me after I had serious lemonade cravings during my pg with Julius and was making fresh lemonade constantly. I haven't been making so much lemonade, but I do still use it when recipes call for 1/4 c. or more of citrus juice. And fresh-squeezed OJ... mmm. :yum :)
