I stumbled upon Meyer lemons at the store yesterday and was very excited as we live in northern Vermont and do not get many Meyer lemons up in these parts! I always see them in recipes from Ina Garten and always thought they were just pretentious little things! BUT....I was wrong. After I brought them home I dumped them into a bowl and the fragrance just hit me! They are so floral with a hint of rosemary. My daughter and I had to try one. We sliced one up and it is still a sour lemon but it almost has an orange flavor as well. It is really the scent though that got me. I keep picking them up and just smelling them. My daughter thinks I am nuts (which I can be about scents sometimes, my husband can attest to that!).
All of a sudden I can't move pictures to the middle, argh! We are getting a new computer this weekend! I have been trying to do everything from the Poor little IPad and I think it is trying to tell me that it is tired!
I also made some birthday cookies. Happy Birthday Megan! Luster dust is fun to play around with. This is Wilton bronze and I just mix it with a drop of vodka and use it just like paint. It did eat away at the icing a little bit because I was short on time and didn't let it dry long enough.
