Oh my. This sounds delicious! I had a pound of ground beef out for dinner, but I'm rethinking my options now!

Glad you like it Alix. How's about adding some lemon zest and shallot,garlic and make tny meat balls then just baste them with lemon butter? Let me know what you decide.

I was thinking a bit of diced turkey breast topped with green onion and maybe an avocado tomato salad on the side.

Oh that sounds very good, Ma! Scribbling it down for the weekend and if I can find some yellow lemons. Last week they were all green.

We added in sautéed broccoli and chicken and it was fabulous! My girls declared it a huge hit and its now in our repertoire. Thanks kadesma.

Silly girl! Those were limes, not lemons.

They were lemons...just got picked too soon. I tried them once and they are the bitterest thing ever! I won't even pick them if they have a greenish cast to them, they have to be pure lemon yellow.

That's what I thought

Can you do the apple/banana paper bag thing?

 

[PrincessFiona60]

When I got the two last year, I only used one (and ruined a salmon filet), I tried ripening the other. It never ripened, I tried all the tricks, but it just got soft and died.

 

[Dawgluver]

Can you do the apple/banana paper bag thing?

Nope, I just looked it up. Once picked, that's it. No further ripening.

We could try. I wonder if they will cause puckering?

Nope, I just looked it up. Once picked, that's it. Though a green skin doesn't mean the flesh isn't ripe.

I beg to differ...it was horribly bitter.

 

[Dawgluver]

You guys are too fast! Yes, nothing can ripen an already picked citrus!

Bummer.
