Picking Lemons

We are in Orlando, and a fellow home school friend opened her home yard to us and shared her lemons!


The look like oranges, don't they?? Nope. They are lemons!

They have a ginormous Meyer-lemon tree, and knew there was no way their family would ever be able to pick and use all of these softball sized lemons!



I will have to post what we do with all of these lemons! I think she sent us home with at least 20!! I drink hot, lemon water daily - but wouldn't be able to use all of these in months!!

She gave me a few suggestions on using them. I will have to take pics and post as we do.

For dinner tonight, I cooked chicken and rice in the small crock pot. (Did I tell y'all our big crock pot broke?? That's a sad story in itself!) An hour before it was to be done, I added a bag of frozen peas on top. And VOILA! Dinner was served!


Now, for my finicky children (and Daddy) who don't want their foods touching - it would not have been a good thing. But nothing was mushy, so I was able to separate it on their plates...and they.never.knew! And, that, my friends, is priceless!
