Title: Yeah, the weekend again
Post by: obbie on June 01, 2012, 07:55:18 am
Have a great weekend everyone. :D
I am off to juice the last of lemons, then to cook up a storm.

Will report back tomorrow.


I love weekends.  lemon pie, lemon cake, lemon cheese cake.

You are so lucky your family likes lemony things Robyn  ;)  Could you put out some boxes of lemons at work with a sign "Free Lemons" to get rid of some of the excess?

Sorry Mandi about  your grandma.

Preserved lemons, great idea.
I have bottles so lemon butter, lemon mousse sounds good.
Thanks for the links.


I'll report back and let you know what I made. ;D

My great grandmother was alive to see my first 4 children  (being their great great grandmother) my eldest son was her first great great grandchild and was actually born on her 85th birthday which was pretty special :) we have photos of the 5 generation.

Condolences for your loss.

My lemons are only just starting to ripen and I have still so many green ones on our tree and a couple of yellow ones finally. I have just bought a book called "Lemons- hundreds of household hints" by Diane and Jon Sutherland for all those times when I have a dearth of lemons and can't give enough away to friends and family. The book has so many ideas for cleaning, laundry, garden, beauty, health and above all, cooking! At last, I have so many ideas to use up my lemons!

My grandma is 90 years old and the only grand parent I have left. DS and I are very close to her. She did not cope with dad (her son) passing away but she is slowly coming to terms with it. Sad when you out live your children.

Post by: dede on June 02, 2012, 10:11:01 am
Very true DG, my great grandmother had 11 children and 3 of then died before she did :(
I have no grandparents left and now either does my DH :(

Sorry to hear of your and your DHs loss, Mandi. Am guessing the funeral was yesterday? Hope it all went well for you all.? :'(

School holidays here too (Tassie!!) but as I only have 1 at school it is actually quite nice to get to spend some time with her...is that weird?  ??? (to love having her home for a while??)  ???

Yes funeral was yesterday and all went well and was a nice service. Was nice to see some old faces I haven't seen for awhile (funerals usually do that)
DS (5) was very interested in the whole thing as it was his first funeral, he asked lots of questions (some not so appropriate) but you would expect that from a 5  year old.
