Well, after all that exertion, sometimes one just has to lie down and be L-O-N-G. And s-t-r-e-t-c-h. I call it Repose Yoga. Plus it’s nice every now and then to be a long kitty instead of one of those curl-up-in-a-ball Tuxies.
We were ALL exhausted after giving the lemon tree it’s annual haircut.
Hey, when we do a job, we DO A JOB!!! Thank heaven for mama’s helper (apart from me) who is primo at this heavy hitting.
I think most of this part of France will have to take these off our hands, haha. Just kidding. After the limoncello, lemon curd, lemon tarts, citrus chutney, preserved lemons and whatever those anthros do with spiked lemonade, there just might be some happy campers in this little burg. Heaven knows there are enough lemons for us for several months, staying nice and cool in the garage.
Essence of lemons. Num num, but not for US, of course.
But I was so tuckered, I couldn’t even put my tongue back in my boca!
Wow! Look at all those lemons! Maybe you could roll one of those around, Loulou.
haha- I know the real reason – tongue freeze from sneaking Limoncello!! OMG – mama is drooling over those lemons – but she still has beaucoup bottles of limoncello – but going to pounce on the mandarines very soon. They are all over the trees in front of the apartment, but have been sprayed with pesticide, so no good for making booze. Whatever that is. Going to continue mimicking your yoga position – too early to move. Since it’s too early for breakfast!
OMG I am dying! Look at all of those lemons!!! What a bounty! I will be right over! NOTHING better than freshly squeezed lemons!
I know, we are very lucky and lemony, too.
wow! look at all those lemons. any lemon pie in there?
Oh, mama would love to make you a lemon pie but it won’t travel well, I think.
Suzanne and LouLou…all those lemons make me want a nice shot of limoncello…do you have a favorite recipe to share with us??
Yes, and it’s in Rome, At Home, but mama will email you one right away, Peg.
yum…i’ll be looking forward to making some limoncello
Let us know how it turns out. It really is best not too sweet and it should be very clear and go cloudy in the fridge.
Mmmm-lemons. No lemon meringue pie ?
Okay, I’m putting out mama’s recipe for the pie in the next blog or so. But hers is not with meringue. It CAN be, but it is a lemon tart that will make you very, very happy.
