What would I do without lemons? It's a joke in our house that whenever Herself goes to the supermarket she has to buy milk. We ALWAYS need milk, apparently. My foible is lemons.
I need lemons for all cooking. I need them for anything involving tonic or Coca-Cola and if I'm feeling toxic I need them for putting in a cup of hot water. Without lemons it is not possible to make a proper Hot Toddy - the closest thing to a cure for the common cold.
I need lemons to smell - they make me think of summer. I need lemons to provide the base note of every perfume I've ever liked. I need them to hang provocatively from trees all over Italy, just begging to be plucked and smuggled into grey old Britain.
I am going to try preserving them. I think they are probably preserving me.

ReplyDelete2. you need to move to italy. tesco round the corner will not do on a daily basis for your culinary needs
3. i put lemon in everything too. inherited it from my mum.
4. i'm sure it is my love of lemons which makes me love fizzy, sour sweets. nothing to do with a reaction against 1970s health food.
