Lemon Overload
Thanks to a friend of ours we have nearly 300 lbs of the beautiful, sweet meyer lemons sitting on our front porch. Although they won’t count as poundage for us this year, the lemons will be a welcome addition to our meals – juice, vinaigrettes, marmalade, cookies and oh, how about lemon pound cake made with fresh duck egg. Yum. Of course, can’t possible use them all. Fortunately some friends stopped over last night and gave them a bag to take home and will dole some more out to a few other friends.
And the timing for this LA Times article couldn’t have been more perfect titled 100 Things To Do With A Meyer Lemon
