Lemons from the tree, into the bag, into the car, across the Bay Bridge and into my kitchen!

Preserved Meyer Lemons! I was lucky enough to receive a whole bag of gorgeous, fragrant, ripe Meyer Lemons from my aunt’s garden in Concord. I set out to make a batch of preserved lemons-something I’ve read about but never made. I still don’t know quite what I’ll make with them (probably hommous, salad dressing & marinade) but they sure look pretty floating in their salt baths in the meantime.

Why yes, I AM making Meyer Lemon Yogurt Muffins with a dollop of Orland, Maine crystallized honey instead of applying to more jobs as I should be. Delicious tangeriney lemon smell = 1. Boring gray laptop in dark bedroom = 0.0

Rainbow Cupcakes! Ok, so they tasted kind of gross. But they were fun to make and looked cool. The yellow frosting looked like monkey poop. I would definitely try to make a WHITE frosting next time. Recipe from Omnomicon – awesome blog!
