Keep the lemon recipes coming!  Lemon sweet things have way more appeal than chocolate to me, not that I don't like chocolate, I just always have lemons in the house and chocolate disappears too fast. 

I will share my perfect hiding spot for Tim Tams - you know those long spaghetti holder jars?  Fits perfectly with a few wholemeal spaghetti strands showing through the window as a decoy.  Don't tell anyone  ;)
