When you consider the wonderfulness of lemons, why would one think of them as a bad thing? Just because they are sour? They make such an amazing contribution in the culinary world! They have a freshness, a special zing, that few ingredients have to offer. In fact, I am so 'sold' on their goodness that we planted a lemon tree this year.
Lemons can even be romantic, and I'll prove it!
One of the first indicators I had that my husband was interested in me was when he knocked on my door one night, with a jar of honey in one hand and a sack of lemons in the other. He knew I had a cold, so he walked to the store, then came to my apartment, and proceeded to fix me a mug of honey and lemon. (I had never even heard of that concoction!) What a sweet thing for him to do! He won my heart.
So, why am I compelled to express my gratitude for lemons today? I was supposed to go to a pinterest party tomorrow night, but my friend who was hosting the party became ill, but not before I had made my contribution, lemon crinkle cookies! Yuh-Ummmm! They are amazing!!
So, yes, I am grateful for lemons and their zesty goodness...they are wonderful.
