Meyer Lemons
Jennie picked up a box of Meyer lemons the other day. This may be the end of my latest fitness kick, as they (the lemons are still the subject. Pay attention, damnit!) make the most amazing Lemon Drops. Oh well; at least I managed to drop 35 of the 75 pounds I wanted to shed. Damn you, tasty booze!
A Lemon Drop is much more enjoyable than a six mile run any day . . . Besides, with the whole fitness thing, my center of balance is completely out of whack. It’s much better to have all the weight at your middle rather than in your chest and arms, right? I’d make a lousy weeble right now.
Hmmm . . . I think it is time for another Lemon Drop. I feel almost coherent.
Yum. I can’t believe I never had this drink before.
Seriously? No Lemon Drop? You’ve led a sheltered life. Done right, they are the most incredible mixed drink (amongst sweet mixed, at least). Done wrong, they’re almost as tasty as squirting yourself in the face with lemon-scented Pledge.
