Apparently...

I have been slacking in my parenting lately.

On Monday I had  five Meyer lemons.

And I thought it was rather odd when on Tuesday I only had four.

But then, when I only had three?  I started getting suspicious.  
(I know, call me Sherlock...)

  I guess I need to teach my kids the difference between a Meyer lemon and an orange!


Because, who would want to miss out on this?
Sunshine in a jar!  Yum!!!
Recipe found here

  11. Hey Kate! You just leave me the sweetest comments and I love your sweet heart so much. I'll tell you a something about that baby quilt apron in a couple of days. Am I building your curiosity? Hee-hee.

    What do you use lemon curd for. Do you eat it on toast and biscuits, or eat it by the spoonful. I've heard the name but don't know anything about it. It looks so yummy though. I'm so embarrassed I live in FL and don't have the first lemon or orange tree in my yard. Just about all my neighbors have at least one or the other or even grapefruit. Maybe when I finally get my OWN dream cottage.

    Love you honey....Tracy :)

    You most certainly are the Queen of the Aprons! That top one, from the baby quilt? It's my all time favorite! Love it!!! I love them all, those the little scotties are very sweet, but you outdid yourself on the top one!

    Glad your MIL is doing better. Hope you can get a day of peaceful sewing in!
    Kate

  12. There I go again screwing things up. I really just wanted more people to read all the wonderful things you say about me. LOL. Now I am embarrassed.

    What a dope.

  13. Is that a jar of lemon curd? Oh my, I'm ready to make some now! The lemon is a multi-faceted fruit - elegantly chic and like "My Letters to Emily" said - " a thing of beauty."

    However, it becomes a piece of timeless comedy in the mouth of a child!

  14. That's funny because my youngest LOVES lemons. He just begged me to buy a big bag of them from Sam's Club so he could eat them plain. Silly boy!

    I love lemon curd but I've never made my own. Hmmmm... Something new to try!

  17. Good Morning Kate! I've bought lemon curd before and used it in a cake recipe from country living... I think it was called celebration cake, it was delicious! How do you use yours? It does look like sunshine in a jar, really delicious! As for me painting my barn, well I figured if I said it on here then there was no backing out right? I'm tackling my smaller barn though not the bigger one...yet! Happy Thursday! Theresa
