My friend, Michelle, at Honest and Truly often post for "Tasty Tuesday," so I thought I'd follow suit, but first, I'm going to share a very funny, dining-related story that my blogless sister, Judy, shared on Facebook this week. She and her husband, Allan, are incredible cooks and love gourmet dining at home.
I was making dinner tonight and realized that I had forgotten to buy a lemon for drizzling over our filo salmon. Then I remembered that we have a lemon tree (with one, big, juicy lemon on it) that we'd been nurturing for a very long time (It even survived the 400+ mile move from Memphis to Tulsa!) Over dinner, Allan said, "This is delicious, but I feel like I'm eating one of our children!" LOL!!!
And speaking of delicious, check out my latest offering at Mrs.4444 Cooks, Confetti Scalloped Potatoes (The kids and Mr.4444 loved them, and they are SUPER easy to make--no peeling of potatoes at all!) and see what's cooking at Michelle's place :)
Too funny I bet it was hard to use!
ReplyDeleteWhy does this remind me of Trinny Lopez and "The Lemon Tree"?
ReplyDeleteI never liked scalloped potatoes. Then again, I never had any made like this.
You have to use the lemon. Fish without it is not a fish dish. Must have been interesting to have just one lemon on the tree...
ReplyDeleteLOL...omgosh...it's a good thing they have a lemon...there is a lemon shortage around here...believe me i was looking for lemons a week or so ago and 3 different stores nada!!! no lemons...now I know where to go when i need a lemon
ReplyDelete;-)
hahah cute story! we have a lemon tree in our yard, too. but it was sick with bugs a few months ago and I have not checked it since, we have had a lot of rain recently, so I hope they are gone
ReplyDeleteI cannot imagine having a lemon on a tree. The best we can do is pinecones!!haha
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks for linking over to me. And you have a family cookbook? How cool!
ReplyDeleteLove the cannibal thought :)
LOL! That is too funny. I think I felt the same way when I grew snow peas one year. My seeds produced 5 pea pods. Eating them was like murder! :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know children grew on trees.....geez, well, guess I'd better tell the hubby we've been "trying" the wrong thing all these years.....
ReplyDeletejust kidding, but I couldn't pass it up.
Georgie, thanks for the heads up on the lemon shortage. I guess I will have to hope for lots of blossoms on the lemon tree. Funny MightyMom! If children grew on trees and you could eat them how many people would consider serving them up? LOL
ReplyDeleteThats wild! Ooohh Little Lenny (lenny the lemon) tastes so... nurtured.
ReplyDeleteI need you to cook at the Tavern!
MMmmmm...salmon, I make it blackened with Cajun pasta. Aaaiiiieeee! It's good ya'll!
ReplyDeleteYou have a glorious day my friend!!!
