“WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE ABOUT LEMONS?”
Okay I will admit I have a love affair with lemons. Always have and always
will. There used to be a time when I would cut one in half and suck on it.
Doubtful.
Lemons can be used for so many things such as in cleaning items, for their
wonderful smell but mostly for drinks and food. Used to love sliced lemons in
iced tea; somehow, I decided I didn’t like it that way anymore. Lemonade is
pure heaven and especially on a hot summer day.
Shrimp uncooked or cooked just has to have lemon squirted on it. Can’t
imagine shrimp without lemon juice on it.
Then there is grated lemon that tops not only cakes but certain
dishes—brings out the flavor even more. And it’s eye pleasing. Certain
Mediterranean dishes always require lemon in them: Some I like and some I don’t. Depends upon
the person as you know and sometimes upon the cook.
My favorite things with lemon are lemon meringue pie, lemon cups [an old
recipe that when baked makes a cake top and a custard bottom,] lemon bars and lemon
cake. Oh my! Not only are lemons just
beautiful to look at but they sure do add zest to anything be it drinks or
food. Lemons are also used by many as a Christmas decoration for when stacked
high in a bowl, they are a thing of beauty.
Lemons just about have it all plus they are yellow as you know!
Eye-catching and a wonderful fruit that has a smell straight from heaven. Now I
will have to run out and get some—I need a lemon meringue pie in a hurry.
