Year of the . . . Placenta?

lemons, lemons, lemons!

lemons, lemons, lemons!

The annual limoncello party was a regular laugh riot and somehow the conversation kept coming around to placentas and their various uses; don’t ask me how it happened but I haven’t laughed that hard for that long in a very, very long time.

let the zesting commence!

The 2009 limoncello is in the pantry, the lemonade base, lemon curd, and lemon juice are in the freezer and we have officially begun the summer preserving season!

The menu was a hit as follows:
Appetizer:
grilled quesadilla with cucumber salsa
almonds three ways
lemon/strawberry mojitos
strawberry lemonade
limoncello lemonade

Dinner:
black bean enchiladas with matt’s salsa, cilantro, & sour cream
spinach salad with strawberried, baby peas, & mustard/cilantro vinaigrette
grilled asparagus with lime and salt

Dessert:
lemon curd tart with whipping cream
coffee and tea
