I Love Lemons

I love lemons. I always have lemons in my pantry. If you are like me, you get your lemons from the grocery store.
 

However if you are lucky enough to have a lemon tree in your yard, you can pick them yourself. Or have somebody stand on a ladder and pick them for you.

in which case you can stuff them into your teeny-tiny suitcase to bring them across the country (my toiletries bag was stuffed on top and my dirty socks cushioned them during the long airplane trip.)







Yes, if I had to choose between bringing home fresh lemons from the lemon tree in my son's yard or fabric from a quilt shop, I would (and did) choose the lemons.

This pose by "Millie" pretty much sums up how I feel about lemons.

Yellow

Here is the Yellow block for the Missing U Quilt. My son asked for a yellow quilt a few years ago, and I bought a lot of yellow gold fabrics for it. Many of them are in this block.

VeeV asked yesterday if I liked lemons or the FLAVOR of Lemon. Both, actually.  I think Lemon is my most favorite flavor...

Lemon juice in ice water!!
Lemon curd between layers of a white cake!!
Lemon curd, actually, any way, shape or how.
Lemon juice on fresh green beans.
or Asparagus, Zucchini, Carrots...
Caesar Salad

Lemon juice on cooked fish
Lemon juice on cooked chicken
Chicken Piccata (with Lemon!)
Lemon drops (the hard candies)
Lemon sorbet
...

You can enjoy the flavor of lemon in every meal, and I usually do. It is a crisis in my house if there are no fresh lemons.
