Ha,ha. Get it? Sky and pie? Pie in sky? Lemons in sky, then pie? Oh, well, let’s move on…
Well, around here, those lemons are being turned into juice, pie, curd, you name it, and two commenters mentioned lemon meringue pie. Mama’s pie has no egg white topping (which can be added to the basic tarte when baking), but it is made with the easiest dough possible. I think, actually, all of this was in another blog! So if you are leaning toward lemons, you’ll find all the info there.
The wonderful thing is that having lemon curd in the fridge is a great solution for quick desserts. Lemon curd on toast is one of the most decadent things you can eat, haha. I’m not a lemon fan, but I love to smell the lemons when mama takes off the zest for limoncello or curd or for a slice in a little glass of vodka every now and again, whenever that is.
Yes, we are rolling in lemons, haha!
Maybe we could use them for petanque balls, or juggling, or baseball (short-lived, THAT lemon) or maybe just to chase around the house.
Wish we could share. Now THAT would be the best use ever.
Meanwhile, it’s time to rest the toosies. Whatever they are.

Am putting in a link to an interview with Jeremy Cherfas who hosts Eat This Podcast about lemons and the plague in olden days. SO interesting.
Eat those lemons! Get ade with ade!
According to humans we cats “don’t like citrus.” Hmm… how do they know fur sure what we like and don’t like? And what one kitty doesn’t like may be something that another kitty does like. But lemons are purr-obably one of those things none of us kitties would like to taste ’cause I’ve heard that they are very sour & would make our noses twitch. Tee hee hee. They are pretty in yellow though. Hmm… I wonder if yellow is your fav color, Loulou. I bet it would look BE-AU-TI-FUL with your furrs.
Yellow? Yellow? Hey, maybe I should turn into a tabby? I do like yellow but lemons don’t do it for me.
Thanks for the additional link, Loulou. I hope your fans take it to heart if they’re threatened by the plague. And tell your Mama she should save some lemons to preserve in salt, Moroccan style. I have a recipe, though I doubt she needs one.
Oh, you kind soul. Are they really salty afterwards as some of them are? I’ll tell her to ask your for yours.
Everything sounds delicious – and without the hassle of the meringue !
When life gives you lemons…make lemonade! Or lemon curd or lemon pie or whatever lemon!
Yep, that’s our motto, too! Luckily we have the lemons.
Yummmmm – mama still has your mama’s lemon curd recipe results in the freezer from last year and this is encouraging her to take out a package. It freezes well and still delicious. Almost as good as Limoncello – but the two together – Unbelievable. So she says. I never get a taste……
Yes, what is it with we can’t have this, we cant’ have that??? Hey, I’m not EVER giving my Purina to mama.
lemon meringue pie, one of my favorites, if it isn’t buried in sugar like some are. i know your mom wouldn’t do that, though. her’s would be light and a little tart. oh, yum.

Oh, how I wish mama could send you one, Jan. Away from Marcus’ prying eyes, haha.
Love that first photo of you!
Happy New Year

And to you, Athena! Happy New Year and more to come.
Did someone say Lemon. I love lemon anything, and the thought of lemon meringue pie makes me hungry for some. I live your photos, especially the wide open mouth one.

Vael, I love your blog but cannot find for the life of me where to leave a comment. Maybe I should check my eyesight!
I bet your mama makes the best lemon meringue pie ever.
Hey, just slap some meringue on the lemon tarte and bake until top is golden. Drool…
