For Love of Lemons
I woke up early this morning with visions of yard sales dancing in my head. Not only would I go out and search for buried treasures, but I would go alone (and therein lay the best part!) It wasn't until I had already showered & dressed that I thought to investigate the weather, at which point I peered out a window (my favorite weather forecaster!) and saw that it was raining. I considered going back to bed, but a new vision began dancing in my head... lemons !!! A couple days ago I saw a recipe for Lemon Curd Coffee Cake in one of my cookbooks and it stuck in my head as something I wanted to try sometime. The recipe calls for lemon curd and I happened to have some that I made awhile ago just sitting in my fridge. The recipe also calls for lemon juice and lemon peel and I actually had a bag of fresh lemons sitting in my fridge,too! Plus (and this is my favorite reason!) one of my friends sent me a lemon squeezer for my birthday and I couldn't wait to try it out!!!...
